From the reviews
Update: My son is now a Black Belt and earning service hours towards graduation as a junior instructor for younger students. His journey at Victory has been everything we hoped it would be. The academy was one constant for us as his world turned upside down during Covid.
Victory Taekwondo Academy is the best place for authentic Korean training. Master Yeong is very good with children, teens and adults. He gives them the confidence and encouragement to succeed to keep moving forward. My two daughters and myself are studying under him and we won’t want it any other way.
After trying other martial arts programs for our daughter, it is refreshing to have found Victory Taekwondo. Master Yeong is a highly qualified instructor as well as a natural teacher. He is extremely patient, and we especially appreciated how he helped our daughter overcome her nervousness during her first class.
Victory Taekwondo with Master Yeong and Ms. Karen are great! Master Yeong is wonderful with the kids. You can tell that he truly cares! In today’s crazy time with mental illness and low self esteem his program really works on building the kids up not only in physical strength but in confidence and sense of achievement.
New to taekwondo? Start at Victory Taekwondo Academy
Victory Taekwondo Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Taekwondo Academy
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.
