BEGINNER FRIENDLY
Never Trained Before? You’ll Fit Right In.
Most adults who start Jiu-Jitsu worry about:
- being out of shape
- feeling awkward
- getting hurt
- not knowing what to do
That’s completely normal.
Our classes are specifically designed to help beginners feel comfortable, safe, and supported from day one.
You do NOT need:
- prior martial arts experience
- athletic ability
- flexibility
- to already be “in shape”
You just need the willingness to start.
SELF-DEFENSE
Learn Real Skills That Actually Work
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches practical self-defense using leverage, positioning, technique, and control — not just strength.
You’ll learn:
- escapes
- control positions
- defensive awareness
- confidence under pressure
- how to stay calm in stressful situations
Our goal is not just to teach techniques…
but to help you become more confident mentally and physically.
Get In Shape Without Boring Gym Workouts
Many adults struggle to stay motivated with traditional workouts.
Jiu-Jitsu keeps training engaging because:
- every class is different
- you’re constantly learning

- cardio
- strength
- mobility
- endurance
- coordination
…while actually enjoying the process.

Success Stories
Straight From our google reviews:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ D and L: The new STORM (Special Team of Role Models) program is AWESOME!!! My grandson loves this class led by Mr. Stafford. He's eager to do his workbook at home and loves the leadership opportunities he is being given. Last Saturday the STORM team set up for graduation and all members assisted the instructors during graduation... even the younger ones. THANK YOU SUPER KICKS FOR OFFERING THIS EXCELLENT LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia Body: "We enrolled our then 5-year-old son as a beginner at Super Kicks in April 2015, simply because they were running a special and the location is so close to our house. What we didn't expect, however, was the degree to which he would end up loving the instructors and the experience as a whole. Mr. Wood and Mr. Bryant are amazing teachers and coaches - constantly encouraging their students in a myriad of ways - and we couldn't be more pleased with how focused and excited our son seems every time he attends classes. I would encourage anyone who's looking for a fun and engaging martial arts experience, either for their child or themselves, to visit Super Kicks and see just how wonderful it truly is!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ C Chooch: "Super Kicks is an amazing experience. All ages, including adults, are training at the same time. I love that the whole family, or just the kids, are equally welcome and each challenged appropriate to their ability (or in my case, according to my 40+ year old lack of flexibility). Over the last 2 years this has been the bright part of my twice weekly routine, both for myself and for the bonding with my boys. My boys are more confident, coordinated, flexible and fit. I notice that I feel better than I have in years. We are approaching our black belts and I don't see us stopping there! There is no better way to bond with your family and SHOW your children that fitness matters!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Megan Abbott: "Love it!! Mr. Bryant and Mr. Wood are wonderful. They keep the lessons interesting and interact with each person in the class.
We've seen lots of positive changes in our son in the short time he's been taking karate there. It comes as no surprise to us because he's got the best teachers we could have hoped for! =)"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ C Bowen: "Our family loves Super Kicks! In addition to teaching karate, Mr. Bryant and his staff incorporate discussions on life skills during the sessions. So as you're learning karate skills, building strength, etc., you also hear positive ways to deal with real life situations. It never hurts to have more reinforcement that having a strong mind is just as important as a strong body! We also highly recommend the birthday parties Super Kicks offers. Mr. Bryant kept a room full of kids entertained (ages 2-12) and everyone, including the parents loved it!"
Our students love us 😁
