My 5 year old son attended summer camp during the summer of 2021. It was the best money Ive ever spent. My son went EVERYWHERE Id have taken him if I could have (working parent problems) and probably had more fun than I could have offered. He looked forward to attending each day. They offer flexible days and the staff is 5 stars in themselves. Always available for feed back, questions and concerns. Id enroll my kids again and again. So glad I found them!
I have visited several martial arts gyms; in the Bay area, South Florida, and a few others across the world when I was fortunate enough to travel.Kickin It Karates first impression is FAMILY oriented. And then you can observe other important factors you always want to see at Martial Arts academy: Discipline, good classes, great instructors, and a clean facility.Their kids program seems to be doing great, there were easily over 30 kids and all followed instruction well. Both Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes were run very well and the instructors clearly have years and years of experience in martial arts, and working with kids and families.When looking for a kids/family-oriented program, this is the place to call in the Bradenton area.As a disclaimer, it is fair to point out that I recently started supporting them with some marketing strategies; however, my review comes from the time I spent at the academy and saw them interacting with students/families; and then I got to train Jiu-Jitsu myself later in the evening. Had my experience or perception of the academy been differently, my review would be different as well.
Kickin’ It Karate is not only a place to work out but a place you will call home. Becky and Josh push you to the limits they know your capable of. They make you feel like you can accomplish your goals and help you get there. When you join their gym your not a number but become a part of the entire family. Everyone is warm and welcoming and everyone helps you reach your goals. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for me and look forward to hitting more goals in 2020!
I have been coming here for years and this business is not just a business it’s a family. The owners are amazing people and treat everyone with respect and care. Their karate program is outstanding and is the best in the local area. The summer camp and after school programs are great for young kids to be in a safe environment and doing fun activities.
Kickin’it karate & fitness is a great martial arts/fitness school with amazing instructors that are constantly sharing their knowledge of the sport. The environment is very welcoming to all and takes you in as part of the family. Would recommend for anyone who is wanting to get a good workout in, learn how to defend themselves, or to one day step into the ring! Overall just a ton of awesome people all working together to help each and every person reach their goal.
This place is amazing all around. Josh and Becky are incredible and make you feel like family! Instruction is top notch and they have so much to offer, even free trial classes. Highly recommend!
Kickin It is awesome. Fun to watch the kids have fun and gives them something to look forward to. Josh and the instructors do a great job instilling discipline to build stronger and more confident minds in our youth. Summer camp is awesome too! Our kids love it!
Love this place. Not only is it a great place to learn Martial Arts and Fitness its a great family place to build lifetime friendships.The programs are great and the care and concern for all children is a top priority. Every child is treated just like their own.
Ive been with Josh and Becky for 6 years or more. They handle their students with the utmost care an respect. The children thrive here. Ive only know Eduardo for going on two years. Again the kids live him. If your child needs an avenue to grow, or learn discipline and respect. This is the place. Please stop by and check it out.
They are so caring, kind, compassionate and well educated in martial arts. They treat our kids as family and I always feel safe leaving my children in their care. I Highly recommend them for summer camp, after school care as well as martial arts.
Great instructors in a very clean facility. My family, 3 boys, my wife and I, all love the training. They are very welcoming to beginners and have a free 2 week trial period.
Great family atmosphere. The instructors will challenge you to be your best, no matter what shape you are in physically. Very affordable rates for the whole family. Facility is always very clean.
My daughter loved taking classes there and learned so much! The atmosphere is fun,but disciplined.The summer program has many fun activities to amuse the kids.
I have been going for years, it was a great mix up and challenge from your typical gym. My daughter enjoyed it as well. Summer program is a life saver
We love Kickin’ It..our son Blake started his journey almost 12 years ago. They have taught him discipline, toughness, respect, and helped mold him into the young man he is today. It’s not just a karate studio, it’s a family.
Sense Josh and Professor Eduardo are top notch. Very professional and always willing to help. Very family friendly atmosphere.
Our son has gone to Kickin It for 5 years, and I couldnt recommend them more. What he has learned goes far beyond just karate. They are a family run business and truly care about the kids and anyone who attends class there. They have fun events and really create a great community of family and friends.
This place is awesome! They actually make me want to exercise! Very family friendly. I highly recommend Kickin’ It
Everyone is nice, helpful, motivating and experienced.One of the best bang for buck places for fitness training, self protection, karate and jiu jitsu at all levels.Clean environment and worth a visit👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Very skilled teachers!! Went in looking to start something I wasn’t sure about and felt like part of a family. Strongly suggest coming for a few classes and you’ll see what I am talking about.
My kids have been attending this facility for over a year now and they are amazing with their students..If you have any interest in karate or jiu jitsu this is the place to be.They truly make us all feel like family...
Love this place! Great staff, friendly faces, awesome workouts, safe place for kids to learn, grow and develop discipline! Highly recommended!
My 10 y/o daughter has been coming here to kickin it karate & fitness to learn Brazilian jujitsum for over a year. She loves it here! The owners are amazing! Not only do they do a great job of naturally cultivating a fun, positive, safe, family-team environment but I love the way they also share their huge passion for martial artist to the community by training, teaching, mentoring, empowering children and adults of all Sorts. The Professor & Sensei are great, engaging, instructors. We could not ask for a better experience.
Highly recommend this jujutsu establishment, my husband, myself and our three sons really enjoy learning and practicing jujitsu!! Great family friendly atmosphere, great skills!!
I love the boot camp classes. The classes push you to do your best no matter what your fitness level is.
Such a positive atmosphere at Kickin It! We honestly feel like we are part of a big family. I cant say enough about the wonderful, patient and encouraging instructors. My son loves going here each week and has a blast learning Jiu-Jitsu. Highly recommend!
My son has been at kickin it for about 2 years. Becky, Josh and the rest of the staff and members have been amazing. They treat each other like family, very fair with pricing, they stay in communication about progress of my son. I am the most nervous of people when it comes to my son being around people I dont know but from day 1 I just felt a sense of comfort that my son is protected, having fun and learning a lot. He has learned so many techniques to protect himself also beyond that of how to behave in situations. I am very thankful I took a chance on Kickin it I will always recommend this company.
Kickin It is an amazing, fun, trustworthy place for kids and adults. We have been a part of the Kickin It family for 5 years now and they never disappoint. All of the staff is amazing and they always take great care of my kiddos. Josh and Becky run a phenomenal school and are extraordinary people.
Very good place, I have my son Pedro with them after school and they take good care of him, they teach him sport and discipline, I recommend them
I have been attending one of the classes for just under a year. From the first day, Josh and Becky were super welcoming and friendly. Every time I walk in, it’s a warm hello. I was a newbie and quite out of shape when I started, and the other day, I did 10 actual pushups with Becky’s encouragement. They never once made me feel ashamed of my inabilities when I needed to do wall push ups or that I was too big to be trying things. Everybody in the class is so very encouraging. We do the exercises at our pace. I am so grateful for another member recommending this gym to me. They have helped me change my life and I’m happy they have been there for the ride.If you’re looking for a new class or looking to learn karate or jiu-jitsu, check into Kickin’ It Karate & Fitness Bradenton. Give this place a chance and you won’t regret it!
AMAZING! POSITIVE! HONEST! FAMILY! CLEAN!SAFE! PROFESSIONAL! My 5 yr old son Mikey is on Team Mastery Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Professor Eduardo Martinez knowledge and leadership is top notch,. Mikey also attended a fantastic summer camp, Ms.Becky has the program on point, not only did I have the entire summer fieldtrip schedule @ sign up she also had activities scheduled daily with a staff that put the kids first on ALL LEVELS. Sensei Josh built the school out of pure love for Martial Arts, his years of experience in the sport, not only shows by the solid classes that he teaches, but the staff who are with him. I am thankful that Mikey and myself are apart of this FAMILY! Karate Classes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Fitness class, Self Defense, private lessons, after school program, and Summer Camp all in one place!
