Victory Karate: Armed Forces Discounts

May is National Military Appreciation Month — a declaration encouraging U.S. citizens to observe unity. We honor current and former U.S. Armed Forces members, including those who died pursuing freedom.

Every month, Victory Karate honors past and present soldiers with a 10 percent membership discount. We have a long history of supporting US Armed Forces and proudly continue this tradition.

Why Krav Maga for Military

Victory Karate training curriculum focuses on Krav Maga — the military self-defense and fighting system developed for the Israel Defense Forces. It combines boxing, wrestling, aikido, judo, and karate with realistic fight training.

This training is perfect for past and present serving US Armed Forces members who understand combat realities and appreciate practical self-defense.
