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!
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.
To put it simply, sensei Tommy is second to none. Tommy combines fitness, discipline, self-defense, and life lessons in a way that most other coaches can't. Victory Martial arts promotes a team atmosphere that I don't think you will find in most other martial arts programs.
New to taekwondo? Start at Victory MMA - Plainfield
Victory MMA - Plainfield comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all 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 schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Victory MMA - Plainfield
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
