Another great review: (5 Stars) "I cannot say enough positive things about Kicking for Life. Finding the right environment for my son was crucial, especially after moving across the country. We checked out a couple other places, but as soon as my son came to Kicking for Life, we stopped looking. Master Kellye exceeded all expectations. She and other instructors create a welcoming atmosphere. They make every lesson engaging for the kids, balancing the fun and learning. They are creative at teaching not only karate techniques but also important life skills like discipline, respect, and perseverance." Dec 14, 2023 - Pavel Prusakov (Google)
Another great review: (5 Stars) "Kicking for Life a true gem! I was looking for places for my son to try karate and wasn't impressed with anything coming up on my search. A colleague mentioned Kicking for Life which happens to be right near our school and close to the house. I could not be happier. The service for the price is unbeatable. Kellye the owner is energetic, kind, knowledgeable, offers great programming, and takes the time to get to know each and every one of her students and families. I can't recommend this place enough. My son is loving it and so are we!" Dec 14, 2022 - ROBIN BRESNAHAN (Google)

Another great review: (5 Stars) "I have been coming here for a few months now for my daughter's preschool karate. I am very impressed with the instructor and the speed at which all the kids improve. I have seen multiple shy quiet kids come in and after a month or so of class they have developed a significant amount of body control and can be heard across a loud room. I am very thankful they started the school here. Also the kids really enjoy class." Dec 14, 2018 - Steve Gipe (Google)
Another great review: (5 Stars) "My son loves to come here! The dedication and love that Master Kellye puts in each class is definitely noticed. We are so grateful" Dec 14, 2022 - Samantha Dunker (Google)

"I work in a pretty rough neighborhood and commute by public transportation. My goal was to learn some basic self-defense techniques to better protect myself and reduce my anxiety. I've been taking lessons for almost 4 months and I can't tell you how much more comfortable and confident I am."
