Sidekicks Martial Arts Academy is the best martial arts school for kids in San Diego and beyond! I know this because our son was enrolled at another martial arts school in San Diego for over four years which demonstrated discriminatory practices and did not apply rules equally. The leadership was weak and inexperienced. They had a lot of turnover in instructors and students.
We strongly believe that Sidekicks provides superior martial arts instruction and has very strong and experienced leadership. One can assess that stems from the strong leadership beginning with Grandmaster Orange and his teachings. He demonstrates a vested interest in each of his students and instructors. Grandmaster Orange has extensive experience in teaching martial arts at Sidekicks, the school he founded, and also with various public and private organizations. This is impressive. However, what is more impressive is his character and integrity. He leads by example. Mr. Tchag, the most senior instructor at Sidekicks also has these same traits and has been with Grandmaster Orange for 26 years. He is a fantastic martial arts instructor who cares about his students. He also leads by example. He is tough, but would never break a child's spirit. There is no mistaking he is a product of the teaching of Grandmaster Orange. Together, and with the other instructors, this is the best martial arts school by far! We have a lot of respect for Grandmaster Orange, Mr. Tchag, and all of the other instructors who dedicate themselves to the betterment of their students. You can be confident that your child will learn and apply their learning in real-world situations. This is true in the actual craft of martial arts, but also personal integrity, self-respect and respect for others, strength, perseverance, self-confidence, self-control and much, much more.
This school and leadership promote academic excellence in school, offers incentives in earning an academic patch for good grades. This is worn so proudly for those who have earned them. These students help to motivate the fellow students to strive to do better in school. Not only does Sidekicks provide excellent instruction in martial arts, but also helps to motivate students to be excellent in every area of their lives. These real life skills are priceless and practiced by all students as it is mandatory. It is a privilege to learn there!
At Sidekicks, our son feels that he has purpose. Grandmaster Orange has a pledge that students must memorize and recite at the onset of each class. Our son believes in this pledge and daily demonstrates the traits referenced in the pledge. This makes a huge difference in motivating kids. They must feel purpose in order to do their very best. He pays forward everything he learns from Sidekicks. This school was a God-send from what we experienced previously at another martial arts school. We have much admiration for this school and its strong and fair leadership. If you have been looking for a place for your child or children to excel and learn to defend themselves in today's world, and inspiring them to be great citizens in our communities, look no more! Sidekicks is the place to take your child/children. It is a safe and trusted environment. We HIGHLY recommend it! Our son is so happy there and continues to grow in martial arts, as well as being a productive citizen.
Huge thanks to Grandmaster Orange and Mr. Tchag for believing in our son! Thank you for seeing the best in him and asking for more so he can be the best he can be, We are grateful for your guidance in his life as you-all make a difference and by allowing him to earn your confidence and groom him to teach and follow in your footsteps is beyond his dreams! You have given him the confidence to feel that he matters and is acknowledged for his hard work and dedication to his martial arts teachings at Sidekicks! Be confident he will always make you-all proud! He LOVES his Sidekicks extended family and its family oriented environment, and so do we, his parents. read more
