Men, women and children from 3 to 65 have discovered the benefits of Sidekick Martial Arts’ programs.
"Martial Arts" is a broad term encompassing the many styles of physical discipline (fighting) arts that have been developed over the centuries. Sidekick Martial Arts teaches one of the world's most effective forms of self-defense and physical fitness for men, women, and children. Our primary style at Sidekick Martial Arts is Tae Kwon Do.
To say that the style of Tae Kwon Do is just another "martial art" would be an oversimplified explanation of the world's largest centrally administered martial art. This system of teaching and training is unequaled in the martial arts community.
Tae Kwon Do emphasizes training techniques that develop power, speed, fluidity, control, relax responses, sparring ability, and mental and physical abilities.
In today's society, individual safety is an ever-growing concern. But armed with the proper knowledge and training, no one needs to walk in fear. Our self-defense classes and seminars at Sidekick Martial Arts focus on risk reduction and avoidance — they are designed for children, women and men to increase individual awareness, build confidence, and reinforce good self-defense habits. During each session, we teach practical tools and viable physical resistance techniques incorporating the rituals of traditional martial arts. In every class there is the opportunity for hands-on practice and discussion.
Sidekick Martial Arts is a member of Taekwondo America (TA), a national organization with numerous member schools across the United States. All TA schools adhere to the same guidelines and procedures ensuring the highest standards by which we teach, promote students in rank, and project our image and reputation within the community.
Founded in 1993, TaeKwonDo America has built a reputation based upon maintenance of a high standard of excellence. The organization has precise training and promotion standards and does not allow any negative, aggressive behavior, or any misuse of Taekwondo in any manner.
The TaeKwonDo America program is especially strong in the area of children. The structured classes, discipline, and respect that are reinforced each day give younger students tools that they can use throughout life, regardless of their technical skill. The children's program has produced positive results, such as longer attention spans, greater focus, increased respect for others, improved physical fitness, and general behavioral improvement.
The TaeKwonDo America National Board of Examiners developed and certified a comprehensive training and fitness program for instructors and students to follow. This enables children and adults to progress at their own pace and ensures that TA schools are able to meet the needs of all students.
TaeKwonDo America was formed in 1993. Since its formation, TaeKwonDo America has attracted some of the finest Taekwondo instructors in the United States. Currently, it has member schools all over the United States. TaeKwonDo America practice the traditional style of TaeKwonDo, "Chung Hun" which means "Blue Cottage".
KICKUSA stands for Kids In Competition Karate. KICK/USA is a non profit, community based organization founded in 1994 to promote the positive benefits of the martial arts to youth. Today's youth face many challenges, some new and some pre-existing. Single Parent Families, Dual Working Parents, Violence, New & more Potent Drugs - all represent difficulties to future success.
The demographics of the martial arts student has shifted from almost exclusively adult, to most school's enrollments being under 17 years old. As martial arts instructors, we have a responsibility to offer positive guidance to our young students. KICKUSA was founded to reinforce the positive values of Respect, Discipline and Self Confidence to youth.
This is accomplished through a circuit of martial arts tournaments which promote a very positive theme, affiliated schools that promote a very positive approach to martial arts training and partnerships with local school systems to reward positive accomplishments.
KICKUSA currently promotes a circuit of tournaments devoted exclusively to youths, ages 5 to 17. Young martial artists compete for points towards a possible State Championship. In 1997, KICKUSA held the first Junior National Martial Arts Championships that was open to all styles of young martial artists. This exciting event is to be held annually at Disney's Wide World of Sports™ Complex just outside Orlando, Florida.
Sidekick Martial Arts competes regularly in tournaments sponsored by our national organization, TaekwonDo America. We also compete consistently in KICK INTERNATIONAL tournaments. Our students participate in several regional and national tournaments throughout the year, including the Disney Martial Arts Festival National Championships, and invites all enrolled students to participate in these events.
