In the charming and picturesque state of Maine, known for its lighthouses, lobsters, and leafy landscapes, there's a group of plucky kids with a passion for something a bit more exciting than fishing or blueberry picking - kickboxing! This isn't just any old group of kickboxing kids, though. They're led by none other than Sloppy Joe, a cool, wacky, and somewhat messy moose with a black belt in kickboxing and a knack for making kids giggle. All through the emerald green forests, down the quaint cobblestone streets, and along the rocky, wave-lapped coastline, you can hear the echoes of their laughter and the rhythmic thump-thump-thump of their fierce little feet. Sloppy Joe, with his gangly legs and enormous antlers, is a sight to behold as he demonstrates a roundhouse kick or a swift jab. His pupils, ranging from tiny tots to towering tweens, all look up to him - both literally and figuratively! Each day, after a hearty breakfast of... you guessed it, sloppy joes, the kids and their moose mentor set out on adventures that combine the beauty of Maine with the thrill of kickboxing. They might practice their punches in a field of wildflowers or work on their kicks on a sandy beach while seagulls squawk overhead. Even when they're slipping on patches of seaweed or tumbling down grassy hills, they're always grinning from ear to ear. After all, in the world of Sloppy Joe and the Maine kickboxing kids, every groan is a giggle waiting to come out! These kids are not only learning how to defend themselves but also discovering that with a dash of imagination, anything can be a whole lot of fun.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
