Victory Martial Arts- Naperville

Having joined Victory about a month ago, I have to say it has been one of the best decisions I have made in awhile. I've loved it so much, I even got my girlfriend to come try it with me, and she's loved it too! Everyone is very welcoming, and its a great environment. The teaching is also top notch. If you are looking into joining an MMA gym, I would definitely recommend Victory be the one you choose!

What a special place Victory-Naperville is. With zero martial arts/MMA experience I walked through the door for the 2 week trial and was hooked immediately. A welcoming, non-intimidating atmosphere along with trainers who not only know what they're talking about, but are great at communicating proper techniques and are all for challenging everyone with physical conditioning, Victory-Naperville was exactly what I wanted. A reason to get back into excellent shape. With the knowledge I've gained, the workouts in each class and the awesome personalities of everyone that teaches and attends class I would recommend this to anyone with the slightest bit of interest in a martial arts. Every class is filled with lessons not only on MMA but for life as well.Thank you so much to everyone involved with the Victory family

Walked into Victory Naperville at the beginning of June this year. I was very hesitant to go initially as I didn't know anyone at the gym nor did I have any martial arts experience. I loved the sport of MMA and wanted to try it so I researched MMA in the Chicago area and discovered Victory. I was amazed at the overwhelmingly positive reviews and really couldn't seem to find a bad one. That was all it took for me to decide to show up. Within about two minutes in the doors I was greeted by 5-10 different people all with smiles on their faces welcoming me "to the family". I took one class and have been going 3-4 times a week ever since. You jump right in sparring with anyone and everyone in the room. It's an addicting experience, working out at Victory; you feel great after every class physically and spiritually. I learn something new everyday and it really has given me everything I was searching for and more. I'm on the road a lot with my job so morning classes on Tuesday and Friday are awesome. Come checked out Victory, you'll be glad you did.

Incredible instructors, both in knowledge of martial arts and in communication, attitude, and genuine love of teaching. Unique family atmosphere. I would recommend it for anyone looking to learn martial arts, improve their physical fitness, or incorporate discipline and respect into their lives.

Victory Martial Arts is great. Anyone looking for martial arts / MMA experience, technique, a great workout, and/or an amazing positive atmosphere will thoroughly enjoy Victory Martial Arts. This is my third week at Victory Martial Arts and I've already seen a difference in my technique, my body, and my attitude. I would recommend it to anyone looking for any of the above.

I researched several martial arts dojos, particularly from a children’s perspective since two of my kids (8 and 5 years old) wanted to learn self-defense techniques. Victory Martial Arts stood out as the leading dojo. They have a unique way of integrating the time-honored traditions of respect, self-discipline, and confidence, with the relevant combat techniques of MMA, best suited for modern-day defense situations. My children love going to class, are eager to practice at home, and embrace the “mat chats” at the end of each class, which focus on being a better person.Having full confidence that my kids were in good hands, we decided to make it a family affair. My wife and I also train at the dojo and the adult classes are phenomenal. They are suitable for adults (male and female) at different age/skill/fitness/goal levels. As a 39 year old male with limited experience in combat sports, I was a little intimidated my first day. That feeling dissipated within minutes. Everyone is helpful, welcoming, and there are no egos. For those with a strong competitive spirit, a competition team is available for advanced training. For women who are a little apprehensive, you will find comfort in the female only kickboxing class.I encourage you to utilize their 2-week free trial period. You will not be disappointed. They also offer affordable family rates, although you will quickly become a “grappling dummy” to your kids.

It is probably my favorite place in the world! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful throughout my MMA career, and it feels as if these people are my second family. I feel as if i was meant to be here my entire life. If anyone is considering or thinking about coming here, do it! It's worth the time and effort because of the effort all the instructors and sensei puts in. Sincerely i love this place!

This place is beyond compare: RARELY do you find somewhere that treats not just the physical, but the mental and spiritual as well.I've been attending since February 2013 and I never expected my life to change so drastically. Sure, I'm gaining the physical and health benefits: I've lost 16.5 lbs, my endurance and cardio are better than they were in high school (or rather, in my entire life), and my technique continues to improve in strides. However, while health and physical goals continue to be attained, the most important aspect has been the evolution I've experienced in my mind and attitude. The wisdom, on not just Mixed Martial Arts but on life, is a constant eye opener and a constant application.The Sensei's have become mentors, the students - like family and all strive to improve quality of life for those who remain dedicated and involved. Even the kids are at a level that is rarely seen: their ability to appreciate others, do well in school, and present themselves as true martial artists in all sense of the word is remarkable.Having the Victory family has been a constant blessing. No matter what goal you have (physical, mental, spiritual) or even if you don't have a goal, Victory will help get you there and take your life to a whole new level of training that you won't see or experience anywhere else. GUARANTEED.

My son and I decided to try the two week trial at Victory Martial Arts in Naperville together. After two weeks we have both chosen to enroll at the school. The experience has been fantastic. The teachers and students at the school have been very welcoming and made us feel right at home. From the beginning it was very easy for us to fit right into the program and everyone has been helpful in learning the variety of training they offer.We look forward to the evenings that we can attend.

I have been training with Victory Martial Arts Naperville under Sensei Adam Grisko for almost 3 years now and I can't say enough positive things about it. From the Victory founder Sifu Dion Riccardo all the way down to the new students there's a never ending pursuit of excellence. And at Victory Naperville the head instructor Sensei Adam Grisko is no different. He is a man of honor and respect that teaches you way more than just MMA. He has world class teaching ability and a wealth of knowledge that can accommodate all experience levels. But the thing that sets him apart is the care that he has for each of his students. He has instilled a positive growth conducive atmosphere that hits you right as you walk into the door. When new students stop in they are always taken care of and treated like family. If you're looking for a positive training environment to learn martial arts then look no further than Victory Martial Arts Naperville.
