Victory had taken over the school my children have attended for years. We now have to pay a special fee to join their club on top of paying to get in the class. If you don't join the club your chldren are basically ignored. There is alot of favortism and strings are pulled to pass students to next belt when they don't have their time in yet. Classes are canceled often and we don't know until we get there. Seems like they get whoever they can to fill in and teach class and these people are unqualified, Often instructor is in office while a 12 to 14 year old student teaches.. Instructors keep changing so the children are not able to build a relationship with their instructor. ATA along with Victory schools are known for starting up a class with an instructor who seems good but once class gets going they throw someone else in. Then you feel stuck due to time and money put in to it. Its all about the money. Were to far towards next belt to quit but after we are done. Wouldn't do a Victory school again nor would we do ATA. Note that I am not talking about the school in Illinois. That is not our school. But this is the experience I have had with a few Victory schools in our area. Did some research and found several other negative reveiws.
