From the reviews

This is a great place for kids to grow confidence, discipline and character. I have a 4 year old, and have been assisting classes for about 6 months now. All the staff is great, Master Rine is very patient with the little dragons class. I would recommend sidekicks martial arts is just a great place 5/5 ⭐️

★★★★★ — Benny, May 2024

We love it! I came here as a kid and now I have both of my kids attending. They make you feel like family while promoting discipline and respect. It has a huge impact on the kids' confidence and character. My kids are doing better at school and at home.

★★★★★ — Cedar, Nov 2025

It’s been a couple of months my son has been enrolled here, and I am very happy! My 3 year old son has learned so much!!! Besides karate, he’s made friends, everyone is very inclusive here. Also the instructors, Ms. Brooks and Master Rine, are great! They are knowledgeable and passionate, yet patient with the children.

★★★★★ — Maryiam, Oct 2022

My daughter started attending classes here at just 4 years old, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made. She's learning so much — from memory and listening skills to discipline, confidence, and physical activity — all in a fun and supportive environment.

Your first muay thai class at Sidekicks Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
