From the reviews
Tommy is really great with the kids. Teaching them lessons that hold value on and off the mat. Teaching the kids techniques that allow them to learn martial arts in a fun, exciting, and disciplined manor. Emma is always looking forward to class. Highly recommend
Me and my brother have been going to the adult classes for a bit now. Tommy is a great instructor and we've felt that we've learned a ton since being here. It's a super friendly environment that feels rewarding for whatever your goals are. Highly recommend!
Tommy is a great instructor. He works well with the children and teaches not only MMA but good life lessons for them as well. There are classes here for younger children and older children as well as an adult class. I recommend this place for anyone starting to get into the sport of mma.
We have several kids @ Victory Plainfield. As long as Tommy & his instructors/coaches are there, we will be there. Each one of them truly give a damn. They work with the kids to get them to do things the right way & take the time to correct and show them the right way when needed.
New to kickboxing? Start at Victory MMA - Plainfield
Victory MMA - Plainfield 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 MMA - Plainfield
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.
