From the reviews
I have had 30 + years of Martial Arts, Self Defense and MMA training experience. I have visited Victory Martial Arts Academy in McDonough several times. Each time I was thoroughly impressed with the level of instruction and the environment within the school.
Our family loves coming to VMA. The instructors are great and the students are serious about learning. Thanks Don and Renee!
We've been with Victory for almost 3 years now. We have 4 kids enrolled, all over a period of time. Honestly, there have been times where we considered enrolling our more athletic kids elsewhere based on athletic ability....
We have been members of Victory Martial Arts Academy for three years now my oldest started when he was five who is now eight and my youngest who is now six started when he was five as well. The boys love it the after school program and the summer camp!
New to kickboxing? Start at Victory Martial Arts Academy
Victory Martial Arts Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Victory Martial Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
