“My 6 yr old daughter loves her Taekwondo class. First sport she has been really excited about. The staff is great with the kids and very encouraging. lots of instructors helping each class so they receive a lot of one on one time. Facility is kept very clean as well.”

“I've been to two BJJ classes and two MMA classes so far, and I’m seriously impressed. The environment is super friendly and welcoming—everyone, from the coaches to the other students, goes out of their way to make newcomers feel comfortable. Hector, the owner, is fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about what he does. Whether you're new to martial arts or looking to get back into it, I highly recommend Lightning Kicks.”

“We are so impressed with Lighting Kicks. We signed up for the first free class to try it out and were welcomed warmly by staff. Our 5 year old has always felt insecure to participate in any organized sport, so we were shocked when he needed no encouragement and eagerly joined the class! It’s so wonderful to see his development over the past month.”
