Sidekicks is nostalgic for me! I attended when I was a kid! Now years later my daughters have the greatest opportunity to have the same experience as I did! Master Brian is great very welcoming and has been operating for a long time very proud to have been apart of this back then and so ecstatic my kids get to enjoy something I did as a child! Building a memory off of a memory is a blessing!

The teachers are great! I love that the kids work with their peers and the adults have different times that they come in. I love that all the kids look out for each other and they never put anyone down that is having a hard time and they help each other out . This is a great place for discipline. Grand Master Brian is the best.

This is the studio to bring your family to if you’re search for Martial Arts. Grand Master Brian has built a program that allows the student to grow in many directions and become a truly well rounded martial artist. The instructors are the BEST and keep it light and fun all while your child learns respect, discipline and self control. My boys have been training here for almost 4 years with my oldest son (11) having earned his Jr. Black Belt and my youngest (8) having earned his Brown/White Belt. My boys have grown tremendously in confidence and character from their training at sidekicks. I would Highly recommend Sidekicks to any parent who wants a superior program for his/her child’s martial arts training.

I have been going to kickboxing at Sidekicks now for 11 years. This is a great place for the young and the mature (me). Not only do we kickbox but we also work with weights and learn some moves to help us stay safe. Grand Master Brian has been great and I like the values and the discipline he teaches to both the young ones and also to us. John is also a fabulous instructor and really keeps us on our toes. So if you are looking for a wonderful family-type place for your children or yourself, I can't recommend Sidekicks enough. It took me over a year to find a place that mirrored the Japanese Karate discipline and comradery when I could not go anymore because Sensei had moved back to Ohio. You definitely want to give this a try!

It's been a blessing to have found this place, and I have already changed my life so much more outside of the studio from the physical and mental development through Side kicks as I hoped / anticipated would be a result. I looked around at many Local studios and found EXACTLY what I was looking for with Side kicks Martial arts. A MMA Studio still rooted to the origin of the forms, teaching self control and development along with a wide variety of forms and skills, training methods / mindset and more all in one very honed process. The Masters, Instructors, and fellow students all work very well together to on board new students like myself. They encourage, teach, and hold you and each other accountable. It offers a lot for all walks of life. You're not too young or old to start. Some students / instructors look as young as 6 years old up to 70 years old. Being 34 myself, I debated if I waited too long into life to get into it. I'm glad I pushed myself, and had the right environment and coaching to stay with it. They truly want to see everyone succeed and become their best selves. I leave this review hoping to inspire others to take the same leap and join us. Learn and grow at your own pace, increase your self confidence beyond just with physical movement, gain more respect for others and life itself, and become your best self. Come do the trial run, and you'll be surprised at what your capable of if you do choose to stick with it like I will be. Thank you Side kicks for working so hard to better others and the community filled with your students.
