Southside Martial Arts

"Started training Gi jiu jitsu and kickboxing here a few weeks ago (Will be starting no-gi jiu jitsu shortly as well.) I’m proud to call this place my home academy. Everybody is super welcoming. No egos. Just challenging, rewarding, hard work. Nik is great, very patient and understanding with beginners. He’s also great with kids. Looking forward to the next 20+ years of my life training here and hoping to get my son into training here when he becomes of age."

"I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Nik and his team at a seminar; a great coach that cares not only about his students; but about his community. I can highly recommend Southside as a place to as a place to learn but also connect with a team that cares about their students. You will find a place to belong.

"I started bringing my son, who is four years old, and a complete riot. He’s always full of energy but he’s also scared to do new things especially if it involves other kids he doesn’t know. His first night here the coaches got him to get on the mat and started teaching and he started learning! This is a very hard task at home. The coaches here are so amazing. They always look out for the young ones and teach them in a way they can learn and listen. They teach the correct way and make sure they are doing everything right so no one gets injured. I stay to watch my little one because I want to watch but I fully trust everyone here to be able to drop him off at class which is something huge. This is more than a class, this is a family."

"So far the best martial arts gym I have ever trained at. 10 out of 10 recommend.. my 12 year old daughter says the same thing as well!"
