Fun & Fitness… Without Screens
In a world full of technology, sedentary-related conditions are on the rise. In fact, physical inactivity is currently the leading cause of disease and disabilities in the United States, and it all starts during childhood. At Kickin’ Kids, our awesome team of counselors and coaches make every effort to get kids to forget their iPads and cell phones even exist. The children are active and engaged all day with a rotation of exciting sports activities, field trips, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, and martial arts classes.
Make New Friends
We provide a safe environment for children to develop important life skills through socializing, such as sharing, setting boundaries, and problem solving. They also learn how to develop strong, healthy relationships through interacting with their peers. During camp your child will be introduced to new friends and exposed to new routines and activities. This will help them grow their social skills and become more confident in their ability to make new friends and try new things.
Positive Role Models
Kickin’ Kids provides your child with the opportunity to interact with positive adult role models. From our Black Belt Instructors, to our after school camp counselors; our entire staff are very interactive with the kids. Not only are these counselors and coaches energetic, but kids see them as “cool” and often a little more relatable than their own parents. This can be a tremendous asset in the lives of your child (and yours).Often times, it helps kids to see what their own lives could look like in just a few short years and, if the “cool camp counselor” has integrity and a good character, your child is likely to emulate them as well. The formation of these role model relationships can help kids to develop the confidence, self-esteem, and skills they need to be successful in school and in life. Overall, the more healthy, positive adult relationships that a child has in their life, the more likely they are to thrive in all areas, long after camp has ended.

"Amazing- Caring-Dedicated-Disciplined-Focused."
"Awesome program in a safe, structured, healthy environment to help children with so many life skills. Every area needs more programs like this!"
"My kids went to SMA from 4 yo to 8th grade and the experience was so much more than I could have hoped!"
There are so many things that I appreciate about the last 6 years that my son has attended Spartanburg Martial Arts and the Kickin' Kids After School Program. We've never had to worry about Josh's safety when he's been at Kickin' Kids. The teachers and coaches genuinely want to be there with the kids, so it takes a lot off my mind as a parent having to drop my child off, that I don't have to worry whether or not he is being cared for. I've had the opportunity to tag along on field trips during summer camp and know first hand how well the staff watches all of the children in their care. Honestly, they probably have way more patience with the kids than I would. We also love that there is a child care/camp option for Josh that keeps him from being in front of the tv or facedown in a device all day long. We love hearing about Josh's day and hearing that he has played outside on the playground, in the indoor playground, his coaches and teachers played games with his group on the mat, that he did arts and crafts, and the list goes on. It is a great place for kids to have fun and stay active all day long. And then, not only has Josh been safe, had fun and stayed active, the teachers and coaches have reinforced self-discipline. The karate classes certainly teach the importance of self-discipline and self-control, but this philosophy extends into every aspect of Josh's time at camp. Working on self-discipline and self-control are ongoing processes, but it is great for Josh to have an opportunity to put all of this into practice not only in class but also extend to how he handles schoolwork and chores at home. As he has gotten older, Josh has thrived on helping out the younger kids at camp and in karate classes and it is nice to have a place that fosters that growth in him and allows him that opportunity. We look forward to many more years at SMA and Kickin' Kids as Josh continues in martial arts. Having your child in this program is a decision you won't regret! - Christen Bruce
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our After School & Summer Camp Programs
Absolutely not! We have classes for all ability levels and no previous experience is required.
If you like the idea of a structured program that concentrates on developing children mentally and physically
then this may very well be the ideal program for your child. We teach valuable life skills such as RESPECT, SELF-DISCIPLINE, and GOAL SETTING. Children in our program learn to develop a “Black Belt Attitude” in all aspects of life, not just in their martial arts training. Best of all, our martial arts programs instill SELF CONFIDENCE, one of the most important ingredients to becoming a successful, emotionally sound, individual.
Yes. Our campers are grouped by grade: 4K-1st graders, 2nd-4th graders, 5th-middle school boys, and 5th-middle school girls. Each group has their own classroom, schedule of activities, and field trips. We also have teachers for each age group who specialize in working with that particular group.
Students are grouped by age and experience level in their martial arts classes as well. We have a structured program for each age group that targets their stage of development while building skills that set them up for the next belt level.
Yes. Research has proven that martial arts training has been very effective in helping kids with ADD and ADHD. The intense mental and physical involvement required to participate in martial arts classes allows ADHD children to immerse themselves in the activity. This can help them complete the activity, which can boost their self-esteem and confidence in themselves.
Our classes emphasize self-control, including self-discipline and respect for yourself and others. Children must learn to stand quietly and wait for their instructor’s next command. Since self-control is often
under-developed in children with ADHD, the increased emphasis on these skills can carry over into their home life and school environment. This can lead to better grades and improved behavior. Martial arts can also provide ADHD children with a healthy way to channel aggression and work out their frustrations.
No, not at this time.
