Kickside Martial Arts

My son started when he was 5yrs old and he is now a black belt. When he started at Kickside Hillsborough, he was always a happy and out going kid even when he was younger. He always played by the rules and was a particularly a strictly for rules. He was like a policeman as a 3 yr old. But when start 1st grade he experienced some bullying and getting hit by other kids younger and older. He didn’t understand why younger and older kids behaved that way. My wife and wanted him to learn how to carry and protect himself. I’ve seen many changes in his personality and how he presents himself. I’m very proud dad to see my son grow up at Kickside Hillsborough. Ms. Reed and her staff teach much more than martial arts and mma. They have taught my son life lessons in how to be a martial artist and a good citizen.

Absolutely excellent. Our entire family trains at this facility for several years now. Instructors are incredible. Kids learn life skills during training. Can’t say enough great things about Kickside. We recommend highly.

My husband and 2 daughters have been training at Kickside for 4 years now, and they have a very solid taekwondo program, comprehensive and appropriately challenging classes for the kids and great curriculum, instructors are great with adults AND kids and my girls are strong martial artists thanks to Kickside! Highly recommend!

My son, husband and I have been taking classes at Kickside for 2 and a 1/2 years. The class schedule offers great flexibility for our busy schedule. We can attend classes in the Hillsborough or Montgomery locations. It's convenient that both locations have classes at different times, as well. I cannot say enough about the staff and teen assistants. They are a perfect balance of personal and professional. They motivate and inspire students to do their very best at each class. They command hard work, but also understand the variety of abilities students bring to their classes. It is never a struggle getting my son to his classes. He has added juniors MMA to his training and is participating on the Demo team. The staff have encouraged him to pursue his interest in martial arts weapons as well. It means so much, as a parent, to see the staff take extra time beyond the end of class to help my son. They truly care about teaching and are passionate about martial arts. My husband and I have enjoyed the benefits of training for free. Martial arts has become a healthy activity we share and enjoy as a family. My husband and I also enjoy having date night while we send our children to Parents Night Out (which is offered every Friday evening in the Montgomery location). I highly recommend Kickside Martial Arts for your family. You will NOT be disappointed!

My two boys have been going to Kickside for two and a half years now. The martial arts program there is solid! The instructors are excellent with children and know how to balance training with fun. I recommend Kickside for anyone who wants their children to really learn about martial arts.
