  We had such a wonderful experience with Kickstart! My daughter started as a complete beginner and worked her way up to almost a black belt. The instructors truly cared about her, encouraged her, and helped her grow so much in both skill and confidence. As a parent, I especially appreciated the school pickup option and the fantastic communication. She came home tired, happy, and very well loved—which is about the best review a parent can give. ❤️ We’re so grateful for the years she spent at Kickstart and would absolutely recommend them to other families!

  Amazing place!! Our two kids have attended the family owned martial arts studio since 2013. Both my Son and Daughter attended the after school program and our Daughter continues taking martial arts classes getting closer to test for her 2nd degree black belt. We are very fortunate to have found Kick Start Martial Arts because they value family, relationships, learning, discipline, honesty and so many other important principals in life. We know that our kids matter there and they are not just a spot on the mat. Thank you Paul and Kellie for being so professional, caring and everything you do! Riascos Family

  My son was new to martial arts when he started at Kickstart. We attend about 4 classes a week and my son has achieved the rank of green belt in about 6 months. He loves the whole experience and has made some friends there. He truly looks forward to it every day. The instructors are excellent with the kids. They are very generous with their positive remarks when the kids do something good or are clearly focused on the tasks. They also have good disciplinary practices when a person gets out of line or isn't focused. The instructors are very patient though and do not lose their cool, but as stated, they are quick to straighten a person up if needed in an appropriate way. They are very active in helping the kids with their techniques and in whatever way that is necessary. Typically there is a good balance of technique (forms) training and practice, along with more physical practice (punches and kicks) as well as stretching and the whole experience is a workout. Not always aerobic but they utilize each minute of the sessions. After 6 months my only minor complaints are that the seating area is way too small and typically only about 3 or 4 people are able to view the activities with much clarity. They are planning on remodeling which would double the viewing area size and hopefully provide ample seating and viewing room. I do wish the website was kept more current as well. It should have the current months calendar, etc. Also a full description of available options (for signing up) should be defined; probably a quick 1 page description of options would be nice. When I signed up, I was not aware of some minor things that would have led to about 300 $ in savings annually which I certainly would have done. I was only made aware of these contract options by overhearing somebody else talk about it. (You save by paying for 12 months with just 1, lump sum, payment). Overall we are very happy with everything at Kickstart. I get just as excited as my child and it so a joy to see the kids learn, and become more confident right before your eyes.
