I would have to say try it for yourself and don't always believe the reviews you see on here. My son has been going to Victory Martial arts for over two years transferring from another karate school in Keizer, Oregon. I have never been happier since I have been here. My son has ADHD and is on medication yet still has achieved so much since being here. He is very confident, shows respect to everyone he encounters no matter where he is. His achievements in school are wonderful. He was on honor roll all last year in school. His teachers comment on how he is kind, respectful and always willing to help others and greet new students. He has very good self esteem and shows a lot of self control. He has learned to be a leader in life and not to follow others who may be taking the wrong path in life such as bullying. He has learned to be aware of his surroundings and how to defend himself if he ever needed to. Signing the 3 year contract for my son has made him accountable for something. Knowing he has a commitment to at least attend 2 classes a week. My son makes that commitment and always wants to go more then just two days a week. No matter if I am at Victory or any other karate school you still have to pay the fees to advance to the next belt. I paid the same fees at the karate school in Oregon. Mr Von Schmeling has been a great instructor and roll model for my son. Living in Florida I have no family here and being a part of Victory has made it so much nicer as they make you feel like a part of their family. I LOVE VICTORY.
