Martial Arts Schools near Rome

“My son has been coming to side kicks for officially a year now and we absolutely love them! They make you feel as if you are family and help teach and install confidence and strength in your child(ren)! They truly show the true “YES I CAN” attitude. Every month they teach your child a new character trait and teach them how to be that trait. For example one month was respect and they sat down with the kids and explained ways on how to not only respect themselves but to other peers and parents. They teach self defense as well as strength, courage and discipline. Your child is learning so much more than just karate skills. When my son started he was always getting bullied and lacked self confidence and just wasn’t in a good space and throughout this year he’s blossomed so much already and he’s even learning about dedication and effort because he practices 2x a week and he puts his all into his practices even when he’s not feeling his best. They are amazing and I couldn’t recommend them enough! They even work with autistic children. That’s one of the reasons why I chose to try them in the first place because my son is autistic.“

“Great Martial Arts school for all ages. My children have been attending for many years and I can see their growth! Teaches self-defense and traditional martial arts. Instructors are very knowledgeable and great to work with. Highly recommend!!“

“Both my daughter and I attend classes at U.S. Black Belt and it's one of the best decisions. Master Shinn and Master Jeff are exceptional at making you feel seen and valued at any age to train in taekwondo. The other instructors and leadership follow their lead in excellence. Whether you are on or off the mat, U.S. Black Belt is family. I have watched my daughter grow in strength and confidence over the last few years. I have enjoyed training myself and have accomplished things I never thought I could, all thanks to the Masters and the atmosphere they promote. We look forward to our time on the mat each week.“
