CHANGING LIVES ONE KICK AT A TIME

WELCOME

We are Special Kicks

This program was designed to make the art of karate accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or physical limitations.

We believe that martial arts should be inclusive and provide a safe and supportive environment for all participants with all abilities.

OUR IMPACT

Increasing confidence and social skills

"Special Kicks has been the most impactful program our family has ever been a part of. The growth my daughter has gained in every aspect will carry her through life. The program is fun, energetic, and reinforces the values that my wife and I try to instill in our children.

Increasing perseverance, integrity, respect, and self-control

“I've seen a decrease in my child’s giving up when something gets hard; now, instead, he will keep trying. He is learning perseverance from Special Kicks.’

Decreasing anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation, and emotional outbreaks

"As a parent, there is no greater joy than to see your children surpass all expectations and do so with a smile. This program is life-changing, not just for the student but for the family and the community as well.”

Increasing strength, balance, and mobility

“We no longer need to attend extra therapy sessions. Our son has gained incredible strength and balance. He’s more confident and willing to try anything you ask him to do. He is usually excited to come to class and train.”
