February 13 · Moosey's AdventureKickside Martial Arts is home to some of the most driven, disciplined and talented students. They excel not only in the classroom, but are tough competitors at the many martial arts tournaments they participate in. The positive impact that this program has on everyone involved is thanks to the exceptional teaching staff working here. If you're searching for a martial arts program to get yourself/son/daughter involved in, look no further.
March 22 · Jared SkalskiThis is the best school for martial arts instruction in our area. We surveyed all of them when we switched from a martial arts school that taught more of a dance class than real tae kwon do - where higher rank students couldn't do 10 push ups. If you want your child to gain self-confidence, they will by meeting physical challenges with their own real actions. If you want your child to learn how to defend themselves against bullies (which really do exist), they will with proper instruction for John Kanabay and his excellent staff. If you want your child to look in the mirror with pride in their accomplishments, they will after doing it all on their own. Kickside Martial Arts is the best school to enroll them in.
March 01 · Billy DawsonKickside Martial Arts is hands down the best martial arts training in the area. The instructors show a genuine interest in their students and helping them achieve their goals. I have been training for the past 33 yrs (since age of 10) at other Tae Kwon Do schools in the area, as well as BJJ, Kenpo Karate, Jeet Kun Do, and Filipino Kali throughout the years. No other school has come close to the instruction, organization, and dedication to students as I have experienced at Kickside. They will challenge each student to do their best. When it came time for my children to start their martial arts journey, we looked at a few area schools until coming across Kickside. The choice was a no brainer and we have been training at Kickside Martial Arts for over two years now. It is literally our home away from home. Not only are the facilities clean and organized, but this is not the typical cookie cutter martial arts school where you pay your monthly fee and receive your next rank for merely showing up. In addition to self-defense, here you will learn self-confidence, self-discipline, and EARN your way through the ranks with hard work and dedication. Kickside is perfect for both kids and adults, and whether participating in their Tae Kwon Do or MMA curriculum, you are guaranteed top of the line instruction, techniques, and an experience that is tailored for everything from the mat, to the cage, to the streets.
November 08 · Walter LangMy son had his birthday party here last month. The facility was clean, neat, and offered a comfortable waiting area for the parents. Mr. Kanabay organized fun games and board breaking for all the kids. As a parent, it was wonderful having everything from goodie bags to pizza already arranged. My son and his friends had a wonderful time!
