I would definitely recommend giving Kickside a try. If you are looking for a place where your child can grow, and develop new skills, while the instructors hold them accountable, this is the place for you! Class sizes are not overcrowded and the instructors provide one on one help and guidance when needed. I can’t say enough good things! Ms. Reed and all the instructors truly listen to you and your goals for you or your child and help them become the best version of themselves.“

“Master Nick’s is wonderful! We’ve been going regularly for almost two years. The instructors are knowledgeable and kind. I like that the schedule is flexible which is convenient for us. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in signing their child up!“

“Susan is seriously one of the kindest souls I have ever met and she puts her whole heart into her business ♥️We need more people like her in the world ♥️“

“Master O is the best taekwondo instructor around. Joining his school was one of the best decisions we made for our daughters. They learned confidence and concentration as well as a love for life long fitness. They joined when they were 5 and 4 respectively and went all the way to earning their 3rd degree black belts. His taught them to focus through distractions as well as many other life lessons that put them on a path to graduating from HS and college with highest honors.“

“My child has been going here for the past 6 years and has very much enjoyed the experience. Not only has it improved my child’s physical fitness but also helped gain confidence, discipline and self control. Chief Master C is a great teacher!!!“

“I’ve been a student here for almost 10 years now. I can easily and confidently say that this has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. Master Kim is always kind and welcoming to everyone, especially new students. However, he can be stern when need be, disciplining his students not just in Taekwondo, but also in their everyday life. I’ve never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend many kids to experience this place too.“

She has been going there almost 3-4 days weekly all 3 years.I love this place because of the skills they teach - not just martial arts, but other things like discipline and respect. The staff Master Martinez and Master Ivan are super friendly to kids. I would highly recommend this place to anyone across ages.“

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by MPAMA. Enrolling my son in their academy has been one of the best decisions I've made as a parent. The transformation I've witnessed in him since joining has been truly remarkable. Before joining the academy, my son was reserved and shy. However, through the guidance and support of the instructors, he has blossomed into a confident and assertive individual. The structured environment of martial arts training has instilled in him a sense of purpose and direction, giving him the tools to navigate life's challenges with resilience and determination. Moreover, attending classes has greatly improved his social skills. He has forged friendships with his peers and learned the importance of teamwork and collaboration. The positive and nurturing atmosphere created by the instructors has allowed him to break out of his shell and embrace new experiences enthusiastically. I am particularly impressed by the leadership opportunities provided to my son. Through various leadership roles within the academy, he has developed a strong sense of responsibility and accountability. These experiences have not only empowered him to lead by example but have also equipped him with invaluable life skills that will serve him well in the future. What’s more, he refers to MPAMA as his family. This speaks volumes about the sense of belonging and camaraderie fostered within the academy. For any parent seeking a supportive and transformative environment for their child, I wholeheartedly recommend MPAMA. The dedication of the staff, the positive impact on personal growth, and the sense of community fostered within the academy make it an exceptional choice. My son's journey with MPAMA has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I am immensely grateful for the positive influence it has had on his life.“
