For several years, I've wondered why so many people drive around with these Super Kicks magnets on their cars. Well, a few weeks ago, our daughter's classmate invited her to a birthday party at Super Kicks Ashburn. I didn't think she would like it, but she loved it and was smiling the entire time. Signed our daughter and her little brother up for an intro class. Our son isn't ready yet, but our daughter is still loving it, and we think our son will slowly warm up to it. What makes Super Kicks special enough for everyone to drive around with these magnets on their cars? I think it's the welcoming and fun atmosphere, combined with a noticeable effort to encourage the kids and families beyond the scheduled class time. Give Super Kicks a try! read more

My wife and I enrolled our son (just turned 4) into the Little Leaders program at Super Kicks Karate and we can honestly say we are happy with our decision! Not only is the entire staff welcoming and attentive towards my son, they are also very encouraging. What makes super kicks stand out for us is the life lessons and attributes their programs instills in the little leaders. My son is eager to do household chores so he can earn stars to put on his uniform. The mommy/daddy component of the little leaders programs is also a great bonding experience. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Very impressed with this place. My daughter is very motivated to come every week and the incremental goals they've set urge her on. Different from when I took martial arts where the next belt was a year away. This is mixed martial arts training so there isn't a specific style that's taught. Took a little bit for me to get used to. read more

My children have trained at Super Kicks Karate for years. The curriculum goes beyond martial arts to include goal setting, civic duty and citizenship, and personal responsibility. They have exacting standards for black belts, while still encouraging students working through the color belts. read more

Super Kicks Karate - Karate Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

It's a great joy when you get to watch your child's progress over a 5+ year span. My daughter is now a 2nd degree black belt and participates in Sparring, Krav Maga, and performs in an XMA team. Not only have I watched my own child grow and get stronger both physically and mentally but I've had the privilege of watching many members of the Super Kicks tribe do the same. The instructors are so dedicated to helping their students be the best versions of themselves that my own daughter has already chosen to follow in their footsteps and wants a career in martial arts. She hasn't even graduated middle school. If that isn't proof that Super Kicks Karate has been such an amazing positive influence then I don't know what is. read more

See all

Great staff - very attentive to our 3 and 5 year old grandsons. Pace is fast and keeps their attention yet they have managed to learn the basic moves. read more

All four of our children have taken lessons at Super Kicks and really enjoyed it. For our 12 year old in particular, it has been a great outlet for him to stay active, learn about discipline and working towards goals, and, of course, learn martial arts. We're thankful for Master Alley and the Super Kicks team and highly recommend them. read more

What I thought we were getting when we signed up: a twice-weekly exercise program to get both of my kids moving. What we got: * A family bonding experience that brings the four of us together, the chance for us to grow as a family and see each other succeed; * The chance to model hard work and resilience for my kids, and to see them draft off of us, put in the hard work and be proud of themselves; * A program that teaches focus, discipline and the values that every parent strives to give their children - like being a net positive in our household, setting goals and achieving them, helping and being kind to others, pulling your own weight by doing chores around the house, to name a few; * A way to teach my kids accountability and responsibility, where my children learn that their actions directly impact their ability to succeed; * A physical exercise program for all four of us that builds mental & physical toughness, character, restraint, and some mean self-defense skills. When we walked into Superkicks, we never thought we'd *all* be doing a black belt program. I mean, I'm a busy mom, I've got things to do, right? But seeing my kids get so excited about filling in their monthly Citizenship Awards program, where they chart - daily - the chores they do around the house with pride... hearing them chatter excitedly about doing community service to get their next karate patch... seeing them outline their goals for the year and stick to them... made me stop and back away from the keyboard and get involved, too. Karate's quickly become the cannot-miss activity that we do as a family, three times a week. It's become our way of holding one another accountable ("have you worked on your kama drills yet?") and lifting each other up ("hey bud, your kicks need some work. Let's go to the basement and practice breaking some boards"). So it's actually drawing us closer together as a family, and because us grownups are not sitting on the sidelines, but we're right there on the mat with our kids sweating it out and feeling it (ha!), I can empathize but also model what putting in the hard work to meet your goals looks like. What an extraordinary opportunity to demonstrate in action the life skills I want my kids to have. And, of course: we're all learning to throw some pretty powerful punches! Kiah! Thank you, Super Kicks. We're so grateful for your program and for all the good you put out into the world. read more

The Superkicks Karate program is outstanding! They provide a balance of physical and mental training that has benefited myself and my family in many ways. I highly recommend training with Superkicks! read more

McDojo. If you want to earn your belt. Go somewhere else. This isn't a legit place. Try BJJ or USTMA (TKD) you don't learn from just going to classes. You need to actually spar. It's more for kids. If you're an adult. Don't come here. read more

Phenomenal karate school. The instructors are like family. Great discipline and control for the kids; fantastic workout for adults, and with belt progression you see yourself improving. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Super Kicks Ashburn as the best karate school in Northern Virginia. They also have a brand new dojo which is absolutely huge. More room for everyone! read more

Do not bother calling! They charge $57/week for ONE 30-minute class. In the class there are between 15-20 people. I asked if it came with any power moves for the price and no comment read more

I had the fortune of taking a free self-defense class for women here last Saturday. 70 women attended, so the room was full of high energy. The instructors are all black-belts in various martial arts. Mrs. Garcia was the main vocal instructor, but we had Mr. Garcia, Mr. Alley, several other instructors, and expert students as well guiding us and answering questions. In the hour session, they taught us several important moves, such as how to stop an attacker with a knife, how to defend yourself from being grabbed from behind, how to kick and elbow punch an aggressor in front of you. They are now offering weekly Saturday classes at 2:15pm exclusively for women to learn how to defend yourself. I took Karate (Shito ryu) in college for a semester and loved it; I just never found another class of the same discipline where I moved to post graduation and I didn't like the other specialties as much. Martial arts in general teaches you focus and discipline, as well as gets you into great shape physically and mentally. With a course like this, you get to work on training muscle memory, so if attacked, you react quickly and swiftly without much need for thought. Future classes will help students protect themselves against guns, sticks/bats, being held down, etc. Unfortunately for me, I just got out of eight+ weeks of intense physical therapy for a sprained lower back, sciatica and Achilles tendonitis from my other physical activities (it stinks getting older!), and I found my body isn't yet well enough to pursue this at present. I highly recommend the course though, to anyone looking to acquire these important life skills. read more

If you are looking to set an example of respect, integrity, discipline and instill good values in your kids while they get stronger and learn Self-Defense, look no further than Super Kicks Karate. We've been going there for about 6 months now. We love it more every day, every cycle! There is such an amazing energy and positive aura when you walk in to Super Kicks. The instructors are patient and always ready to help you learn. My family loves doing Martial Arts together and there is no place we would want to do this than at Super Kicks. If you are in Ashburn or Leesburg, I highly recommend that you check out this place. You will 'kick' yourself for not having been to this place all this while :) read more

Energetic, motivating and dedicated to developing martial artists! My daughter has excelled and grown in both karate skills and life skills/attitude. The caring and talented staff know every one of their students and know exactly what to do to keep them moving forward. My daughter did not start her martial arts journey here, but will be heading to black belt with this team! read more

Self defense was the ultimate goal for my family when we first sought a martial arts program. Superkicks Karate won its place in our hearts from the very first visit to the school. Superkicks is an excellent place for children and adults to acquire martial arts skills taught by people who truly want to see you succeed. Obviously like any specialized fitness program, it can get a little expensive, but the team will work with your family to arrange a plan that works. With more than enough classes, you do not need an additional gym membership considering these classes will prove to be more than adequate as long as you dedicate 100% to every class. read more

My son and I have been enjoying karate here for several years!! Everyone of the instructors at both locations are amazing! My son is now a 2nd degree black belt and is only 10 years old! I will be getting my black belt in the upcoming months and couldn't be more excited. Highly recommend for you and/or your family! Kiah! read more

This place is awesome. My soon is Only four, and he loves it. The staff is friendly, and very accommodating. This karate class, is giving my soon what I was looking for. I highly recommend it. read more

Super Kicks Ashburn used to be a great place. My son loved it for the first year or so that he attended. Unfortunately, due to staff changes, the quality of the instruction and friendliness of the place has greatly diminished. Master Alley is a great instructor when he is there, but takes a lot of time off and leaves the facility under the care of under-qualified associates. Super Kicks tends to promote kids to higher belts before they are ready, in my opinion, to collect the fees associated with graduation. Staff also sells or requires that students purchase lots of "extras" ...equipment, various & sundry fees, etc. that really & truly add up. Be warned, the monthly tuition fee is just a starting point! read more

We've been attending Super Kicks for about three weeks, and have been incredibly impressed with Master Alley and the other trainers. After our first visit we got a handwritten card mailed to us from Ms. Hernandez thanking us for the visit. After our son's first class, we got a handwritten card delivered from Master Alley, thanking us for having our son in. Every time we come in, Master Alley greets my son and I by name, regardless of how busy it is. Every class has had about 20 - 25 people in it, with three instructors. Master Alley always leads the class, and two others in the leadership group will demonstrate, and walk around reviewing and making improvements to the students' form. The instructors are very hands on, and even when the class size seems large, it never seems crowded on the floor. Every class includes all ages within the a 3 color range of belts (i.e., white to yellow, green to brown, black). People are ordered by height, so that the younger kids work with each-other, and adults work with each-other, making it easy to have people of similar skills and abilities work together. Most classes some of the parents sitting on the side are asked to hold pads for the classmates to hit. I like having the ability to interact with the class, but I know not everyone may feel the same. Master Alley strongly encourages family values and responsibility in addition to self defence and karate form. Every month is a focus, where January was responsibility and March is nutrition and health. Our son has almost overnight begun looking at the foods he eats, and it regularly asking if it's healthy. Younger students also get a monthly chore sheet that parents fill out. At the end of the month, if the kids have done at least 7 of the chores each day, they get a star to add to their uniform. Over time they also get medals and a trophy, which our son is eagerly anticipating. While the school is excellent, there are some areas they could improve. While the floor has space for class, there isn't enough room for the chairs where parents are waiting. There are three rows of padded folding chairs, but they are so close together it's incredibly tight to slide between, and anyone between you and an open seat will have to walk out of the row to make room. I don't know how this could be alleviated though based on the space they have available. The sign-up and pricing process is now very simple and straightforward. This wasn't previously the case, as my original review covered, but they read the reviews and updated the pricing to be a very clear $150 or $175 per month, depending on whether you register for 3 or 6 months, and no sign-up fee. They're now one of the most affordable karate places in Ashburn that I know of, especially with their deal where, after the second person in your family registers, the rest of the family is included in that price. So, for $250 per month you can have 2 or 5 people from your family attend classes. Our son loves coming to class, and wishes he could attend more than twice a week. He is very energetic during the class, during the basic exercises, and while practicing forms. As soon as we get home, and every day until the next class, he's excited to exercise and practice his Karate forms. While we're still in our first 3 months, I fully plan to extend our membership and stay for the next few years. Update: The original review mentioned some issues with their pricing and "selling" process. They've completely addressed this, and let me know what the new process is. I'm very happy with the resolution. read more

Super Kicks Ashburn is Awesome!!!! All 3 of my children have been in there summer camp program and now in there after school program and LOVE it!!! That is all they talk about! Even on the weekends that is where they want to be. Master Alley and his Staff are amazing!! The After school program coordinator, Mrs. Engle is awesome! She really takes the time out on making sure all the childrens needs are met. She even took it on her own account to email my childrens teacher and is willing to work with her directly to make sure they succeed in school when she found out my children were falling behind in their class! They are truley a blessing from above! They really take the stress out, especially for working parents like myself of knowing my children are in a safe, caring environment where the can thrive and grow! Thank you Super Kicks! read more

We recently relocated to the Ashburn area. My son had been wanting to take karate for some time now so we decided to look for a place to help ease his transition from the move. I knew within a few minutes that we found the right place. Master Alley is honestly concerned with the growth of his students, especially the kids. Among other things, he really drives home the point of discipline in martial arts, but more importantly life in general. He is trying to make better human beings and teaching the kids to make good choices in life. This is not just a regular karate class (although you will learn all that too). I think if you are looking to learn a martial art in the Ashbun area, you definitely have to give Super Kicks a try read more

You simply have to experience Master Alley's class to see the special connection he makes with the students and their families - he is engaging, fun, and I've never met a person more dedicated to his profession. My two boys have been progressing with Master Alley and Super Kicks Karate for about a year - it was originally a substitute for a missed soccer registration, but we've never looked back at soccer since. Beyond Karate (American Freestyle Karate), Master Alley's students learn vital life skills and values that will serve them all their lives. Master Alley is very dedicated to the community, and several times during the year he sponsors special events to help others - pink belts for breast cancer awareness fund raising, food bank, and so on. I could not be prouder of what my boys learn from Master Alley. If they could give 6 stars here, I would gladly give them. read more

Our first week and we love it already! Master Alley teaches a great class. It's great that the classes are appropriate for children and adults at the same time. I can learn and participate the same time my kids do - super convenient! Lots of class options makes scheduling easy. Our entire family is looking forward to learning more each week... read more

Too much money and not enough results. There are so many martial arts studios, you need to do your homework before you commit to this place. The people are nice, but they don't do enough to teach the students. I agree with a previous review stating that the facility was often left under the care of under-qualified instructors. Students weren't given enough assistance. There was too much focus on upcoming events and not enough teaching of the current curriculum. The amount of money you spend on weapons is excessive because you hardly use them. Graduations were just another way to collect money and didn't reflect students abilities. I know of other people who were unhappy with this place too. So, again, my advice is to look around and try out a few places before you commit here. read more

My son is a yellow belt with Master Alley. He is in the leadership program, and has a goal of becoming a black belt within 3yrs. I've witnessed men, women, boys, & girls of all ages there for training. Super Kicks of Ashburn is by far the best location for character building and a physical work out. Master Alley is the best instructor and leader I've met in the martial arts industry. read more

Super Kicks Karate - In class with Master Alley - Karate Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

First, let me tell you they took a chance on my son. He has a health condition, but Master Alley agreed to accept him. They have been helpful in every way. Recently, I attended one of my sons belt graduations. It was a pleasure to see the instructors interact with the kids; furthermore, watch how good Master Alley is with them. If your interested in American Karate for your kids, go here. read more

My 4.5 year old has been in this program for over a year and I couldn't be happier with the classes offered by Master Alley and Ms Powers. The attention to little kids is incredible and it teaches them the value of discipline, respect and integrity early in life. I have already enrolled him for the next three years in their leadership program. read more

This is our second venture into the world of martial arts and it has gone SO much better than our first. Master alley is great with kids and is really hands-on...teaching all of the classes, knowing the kids names, etc. My oldest son has ADHD and not only is he doing well at this studio, he really enjoys it. As an educator myself, I'm impressed with the program and the staff...they are all great with kids and adults. read more

My kids and I look forward to every class at Super Kicks with Master Alley. He's a great martial artist and teacher. We're not learning just forms, but rather practical self defense techniques. That's what I was looking for in a martial arts school. Super Kicks is a great school for both kids and adults and Master Alley is training an awesome group of future instructors. So, if you are looking to learn a useful martial art and possibly become an instructor one day, check out Super Kicks! read more

I love the family environment. Being able to be in the same class as my daughter is awesome and great bonding time. The whole staff is absolutely fantastic and highly motivating. read more

Love the work for an adult in her 40's. It get's me off the couch and moving. My family has made some great friends. It's nice to see so many people of different ages working out as a family. This day and age you are running children to every sport. But with Super kicks you can participate as a family and enjoy it. read more

I highly recommend Super Kicks Karate! They go above and beyond what is expected of a martial arts class. A mere five star rating does not do them justice. Master Alley, Ms. Gelles, and Ms. Hernandez are excellent instructors. They have created a rapport with all of their students and strive to make an effort to make each family feel unique. The classes include setting life long goals to become leaders which include qualities such as loyalty, honesty, respect, perseverance, and integrity. My kids love these classes and look forward to them every week. My husband and I are learning martial arts right along with our kids. I have never been a person who enjoys going to the gym, etc...but this place has helped me work thru that apprehension. As an adult taking these classes, it not only boosts my confidence level, but it challenges me to learn and enhance martial arts techniques. And, it doesn't hurt that I am getting a good workout!!! read more
