WHAT TYPES OF MARTIAL ARTS DO WE TEACH?
OUR STYLE OF MARTIAL ARTS IS REFERRED TO AS AMERICAN FREESTYLE MARTIAL ARTS. THIS IS A BLEND OF japanese KARATE, south korean TAEKWONDO, brazilian jiu jitsu, and elements of wrestling. similar to mixed martial arts, our style covers a wide range of martial arts, that allow the students to have a general understanding of self defense from a variety of situations. our instructors, rick and nicki lee, were taught by marty knight; who is a legend in the southeast within the sport karate circuit. we are proud of our program’s martial arts background and have continued to pass along our knowledge to the students who attend kickin’ kids. a large focus is also on self-defense, which is necessary for teaching the students how to escape various types of grabs, chokes, holds, etc., and we feel this is important regarding their confidence to defend themselves. we know your child(ren) will enjoy our high energy martial arts classes that accompany our afterschool and summer camp programs! (at no additional charge…yes, these classes are included!)
