Kick Start Martial Arts & Master Beaty run such a great program. We had a great experience while taking lessons. My kids definitely remember it well even years after they moved to different activities. They have a great location & space. And I love that Kick Start has been in the neighborhood for so long and has been a strong supporter of our schools & community. So glad they are in the neighborhood!

Our son has been a student since age 5 after attending little ninja summer damp and having a great experience. He’s now 8 and has advanced to the beginner classes where his interest in martial arts has continued to grow. He’s learning focus and respect and has a goal to become a black belt. We love KSMA!

We are so happy! Our son has found a sport he likes. After the second class he stated how empowered he felt. He is learning focus and discipline. The facility is clean. All the parents I've met are so nice. The Master shows discipline in a smart, managed, no nonsense way. It is great! Whatever the age of your child. This is the place to take martial arts.

KSMA has been a great experience for our son. He started as White belt (10th Gup) and is now a Senior Red belt (1st Gup). Sa Bom Nim Beaty and the KSMA instructors are amazing with the students across all levels. They possess a style of discipline that is respectful, strict, and empowering at the same time to help students progress. They also provide an environment that allows students to work on their leadership skills by helping their peers and those with lower Gups. We definitely recommend KSMA to those looking to get their kids or themselves into Martial Arts.
