Side Kicks Karate & Wellness

"If your child has more energy than a normal kid, and is easily excitable avoid this place at all costs. My kid was excited to go, and when she got there tried to participate, and the teacher was literally ignoring her, walking right by as they were asking to participate, and it ruined the experience. If you’re going to teach kids, you should try a little harder. Control freaks make bad teachers. Irredeemable.. edit: the son teaches the class much better than the father, nice kid with a good heart, the dad though is not fit to be a karate teacher."

"Sidekicks in Rome has been the most incredible experience for our shy, soft spoken guy. Miss Nicole and all of the instructors are so welcoming, insightful and truly helpful. We are thankful for the experience!"

"Side kicks has been such a blessing to our family and so many others! Last year my daughter was struggling with her confidence and shyness..after attending Side kicks for the past 8 months there has been such a change in her. I just dropped her off for her first day of summer camp and her confidence and excitement was just amazing to see. I know that to everyone who hasn’t gotten to experience what Brian and Nicole offer in this class it may just seem like a simple karate class but it really is so much more than that. They have treated us like family since day one. The skills that they teach the students will be with them for life. The confidence and leadership I see in my daughter and all of her classmates in just a couple of months is truly awesome. I can’t say enough good things about this place or the wonderful people that run it. You guys are truly blessings to this community and I hope everyone who reads this takes a moment to check out this wonderful class!"

"My son has been going here for over a year. I was skeptical at first as he attended the first few classes that were FREE as I watched. The kids were doing drills, sparring & they were very loud. This wasn't your typical cookie cutter karate kid class. Miss Nicole explained about the way this facility works. We signed him up because he was interested. After a few weeks I noticed how the martial arts side met with the life skills. The family here takes martial arts skills and blends them with life skills such as discipline, focus, respect, belief & having a great attitude. The positive growth that I have seen in my son and in each student in the class is amazing! My son has confidence in himself, he has respect for himself and others. He is a first time listener, he is more focused, he is determined when he starts something to finish it instead of giving up. He has a "yes I can" attitude and I can thank the Side Kicks Family for contributing to that. They care for your child, just as you would. They encourage their ninjas to be the best they can be in every situation. My son knows self defense and he knows the proper time is to use it. I am grateful that we took the chance on coming here as there are other martial arts places around our area. Side Kicks is a place that nurtures your child and helps them excell in all areas of life."

"Absolutely the best extra curricular activity! Year round! Summer camp cheaper than daycare with loads of fun and activities. And my kids love it! Side kicks also helps to reinforce self confidence, respect, and independence! I highly recommend side kicks for your child! Just hit the 1 year mark with no regrets!"
