In the enchanting realm of New Jersey, where the Atlantic Ocean whispers secrets to its sandy beaches and the lush woods echo with the melody of bird songs, there exists a unique troupe of kids known as the Kickboxing Kiddos. New Jersey, often referred to as the Garden State, is more like a magical kingdom filled with bustling cities, tranquil towns, and everything in between, where dreams sprout just as bountiful as the tomatoes in the summertime. Leading this troupe is the ever-so-charming and quirky, Sir Kick-a-lot. A legendary character with a sparkling blue belt, seemingly mismatched socks, and a headband decorated with doodles of donuts. He's a kickboxing wizard with powerful punches, swift kicks, and an infectious sense of humor that could make even the grumpiest garden gnome giggle. Now, these Kickboxing Kiddos are not your ordinary kids. Oh no! They are a special breed of young warriors, who instead of swinging on jungle gyms, are often found practicing high kicks, dodging imaginary dragons, and giggling over Sir Kick-a-lot's latest cheesy joke. They know how to punch away their fears as swiftly as a seagull swooping down on a boardwalk fry. Training all over New Jersey, from the bustling streets of Newark to the serene trails of the Pine Barrens, these Kickboxing Kiddos have learned that the secret to mighty kickboxing isn't just about mastering the art of punching and kicking. It's about having fun, laughing at Sir Kick-a-Lot's silly socks, and making friends who become more like family. They're the bravest, funniest, and most kick-tastic kids in all of New Jersey, the Kickboxing Kiddos, and their legendary leader, Sir Kick-a-lot.

Parents, have you ever considered enrolling your child in an advanced martial art? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was developed decades ago by the Gracie family and is renowned for its ground techniques, which can give a smaller person the power to overcome a bigger, more powerful opponent. Kids will learn balance, leverage, technique, timing and thinking, and the traditional Gi is worn for both takedowns, mat control, submissions, escapes, sweeps, and conditioning. Joint locks, compression locks, and chokes are all part of the training, and No-Gi grappling is also available. Give your child the opportunity to learn a powerful and sophisticated martial art – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

For centuries, the island of Okinawa has been a center of trade and cultural exchange between China and Japan, making it a prime location for the practice of martial arts. Okinawans have had a long-standing tradition of martial arts, which can be traced back to the very beginnings of recorded history. This tradition is rooted in the merging of Chinese and Okinawan martial traditions, resulting in the birth of “kara te”, or roughly translated “Chinese hand”. Over time, the word “kara” was re-interpreted to mean “empty”, and the tradition of Chinese-influenced Okinawan empty-hand combat has continued and grown on the island.
