Victory Martial Arts – Stone Ridge

Went in to check the place out, left my number for someone to call me for info but no one called. So I called they said they that someone would call me but nothing again ! Took my business elsewhere

Ms. Collins truly has the heart of a teacher and the skills of a ninja. She does an incredible job connecting with students and adapting lessons to what they need. I have seen kids with discipline issues walk a line and timid students find their voice.

Ms. Collins and all the staff at Victory are exceptional leaders and teachers. I brought my very rambunctious 4 year old boy to learn not only taekwondo, but also help with his listening and self-​discipline. All the instructors have great patience and a solid no-​nonsense approach to their lessons. In just a matter of weeks my son shows a great improvement in respect, listening, following directions and self control. I highly recommend Victory and the sooner the better.

Victory Martial Arts is a great!!! My 5 yr old son started a few months ago and it has been such a great experience from keeping him active and learning the skills to discipline and respect. Ms. Collins is a wonderful instructor!!! She knows what she is doing and also requires respect from her students which teaches them how to treat not only her but others. Definitely recommend this place!!!

Victory Martial Arts is a scam! $ 250.00 a month plus an additional $ 1500.00 in equipment that was NEVER used. When my daughter hurt her back and stopped going in July of 2013 they still continued to charge every month and even when I provided a doctors note stating she could no longer participate they requested that I pay $ 150.00 to cancel the «contract». I didn’t pay that $ 150.00 by their cut off time so they once again this month charged $ 250.00. I will be contacting an attorney to try to get money back. A complete and total rip off. I would never recommend this company to anyone!!!

I am not a Victory employee and I don’t have any other association with the company other than the fact that I am an independent single mom with a 5 year old son attending Victory. I had to transfer from a different location due to time constraints and school/​work schedule. I want to express my perspective to anyone considering Victory and especially Victory Stone Ridge with Miss Collins. My review has 3 parts that I will talk about separately. 1. Victory the company. 2. Victory Stone Ridge and 3. Miss Collins. Victory the company is set up to maximize profits I’m sure like any successful company. I really don’t see the harm in that as long as it is a win win situation. My son started at Victory when he was 4. I was beginning to have some trouble directing him. He has gained so much confidence and his self-​esteem is so much higher after 18 months that I can’t even express it in words. He is more focused and disciplined. He might complain about going on occasion until he gets there and then he is great. Victory does do belt promotions every 2 months. They cost $ 50 or less if paid in advance. That’s $ 25/​mo. Practically nothing and if you experienced what those belt promos do for children you would understand why it is important. It isn’t only for the company. The children need those milestones to stay motivated. The equipment and gear cost a little bit upfront… if you buy it all at once. That being said all of it including the belt promotions are optional. It is better to have them and do the promotions but not required. The tuition price is completely reasonable. Compared to other companies that are related to an association, Victory is actually a little less if you pay monthly and if you pay it off all at once they offer a huge discount. I did shop around so I am reporting from experience. The benefit to Victory is stuff like the actual «blue power ranger» visiting the school and the leadership program, which is about $ 75 more than the regular program but includes free kickboxing classes (unlimited) and the child or children can attend an unlimited amount of classes as well. These things encourage a child’s interest and encourage a child to lead. My son has improved by leaps and bounds but it didn’t happen over night. It is a 3 year black belt program. I think that is the reason for some negative comments on other reviews. My son is interested and then not interested and then interested again. In the end… if you look at the results of being in Victory long term and being taught by phenomenal instructors you’ll understand what you can expect in return for your commitment. Go to
and search for victory martial arts at any competition (which by the way are not offered by most other programs) and you can see for yourself what I am referring to. The location at Stone Ridge now has a new instructor and she is a powerful instructor. The studio is in a very convenient location. HEB superstore is next door so you can get some shopping done while waiting if you need to. About Miss Collins which is the primary reason for me to take the time to write this review. She is only in her early 20’s but has the maturity and discipline of someone twice her age. She IS the kind of person I want my son to be like. She is truly honorable. A fantastic role model for any male or female child. I was a little concerned when I 1^st switched locations about the fact that she is female and my son really needed (or so I thought) a positive male role model. Miss Collins is so advanced for her years and truly a rare person. She is a strong leader. She teaches with discipline and strength but also brings a very social family feeling to the studio that makes you feel like you belong. She speaks to EVERYONE on a regular basis to find out what their needs and concerns are and I believe she is also practicing the principle to «treat everyone like they are wearing a sign around their neck that says „make me feel special“» It is really hard to believe that she is as young as she is. I respect her tremendously.
In conclusion… I think that Victory the company could definitely improve in some areas (what company couldn’t) they are still the best around here and the price is comparable to many other REPUTABLE programs in San Antonio. Miss Collins is amazing though. You will love being a part of her studio. Everyone who attends this location loves her. My son and I are also big fans.

Signed my son up for Victory Martial Arts with promises of behavior changes for the better. My son did not learn discipline. He learned to be afraid of authority. All they care about is money. Apparently belt promotions are earned by anyone who pays the money to do so. The equipment must be bought through them at a very expensive rate, every belt promotion costs you, even the prices on «parents night out» keep getting raised. Contract has ended, and we will never again join such an establishment.

Victory Martial Arts is the worst company I have ever dealt with. It is a complete scam. All they care about is getting your money each month. They promote kids to belts that clearly don’t deserve to be promoted, only to get the $ for the belt test! We quit 2 years ago and paid $ 1800 to get out of our contract, only to get a bill today for $ 100 for the month of Feb. Turns out, our contract automatically renewed. Now I can’t cancel my contract until I pay the $ 100. If anyone recommends Victory, run the other way!
