Reviews
My daughter has taken Gracie Jiujitsu here for almost 3 years. She absolutely loved it. She was wanting a change so we have done a trial run for the taekwondo classes and she immediately loved it. So she will be taking these classes now. There is something for everyone here and we love this place! Pic of her from our first taekwondo classes in the black shirt!
Both of our kids have taken classes at Kick! And they love it. They work to create a welcoming environment that also encourages students to push themselves. Our daughter took jiujitsu classes at Kick for three years, and our son is currently on the taekwondo side. He loves it. He loves his instructors. The classes have helped our son with self-control and respect of others (in his elementary class too).
My 5-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son have been attending taekwondo classes at KiCK for several months now, and we have nothing but positive things to share! The instructors are kind, caring, professional, and top-notch. They always wrangle these young, wiggly kids better than I have ever seen other teachers do! They teach good character first, physical wellness and health second, and a close third of taekwondo skills (at the Little Kickers class). I'm so impressed every time we walk through the doors at the energy, enthusiasm, and care the staff shows all the children who attend. It's worth every penny and my children love going. Their flexible attendance schedule is also the best thing ever! You don't have to pick a single time to come every week, you can join any of the 6 classes each week, whenever works in your schedule. It's fantastic! Thanks to Ben, Tiffany, and TJ for creating such a wonderful organization.
We signed up for the free trial class for our 7 year old daughter and instantly loved the place. The instructor we had was great with kids and made the class a lot of fun for them. It was fast paced yet stayed on track while actually teaching them things, and the kids looked to be having a blast. Our daughter is usually pretty shy but she opened up pretty quickly and even volunteered to be used in an example of the next task, which is very unlike her when she's new to a situation! We had tried out another studio earlier in the week and while it was fine, this one was night and day difference in the atmosphere. We had no qualms at all about signing her up before we left that day. Wonderful studio, would definitely recommend!
My son was super shy and intimidated on the first day but ever since then he’s grown to enjoy the classes and instructors who teach them every move and lessons. We are so happy with his progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?
Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at KiCK Martial Arts. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.
DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?
No experience necessary! KiCK Martial Arts welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
Most students at KiCK Martial Arts train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.
DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?
Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at KiCK Martial Arts. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
