The instructions are great with the kids! Classes are fun and engaging.
My 5 year old really likes the new instructor and I really appreciate the recent shift to working on discipline. I can already see a BIG difference in my son's attention both at home and in class.
We have been going to Kicks Unlimited for several months, and have loved it since the beginning. The instructors are excellent, and we have loved watching our son’s confidence grow.
My son has been attending for 4 months now and he absolutely loves it!! Great instructors and facility! We love being apart of the kicks unlimited family!
Kicks Unlimited not only teaches you karate but also discipline and manners. They give wonderful workouts! Highly recommend!
My grandson has been going for several months now, and we've really seen a nice impact on his self-confidence and personal growth. The black belts are just so wonderful with the children, and everyone seems to enjoy being there. I highly recommend Kicks Unlimited.

Our son is always excited to attend his classes and has really learned confidence, body control and patience. We are happy to be apart of the kicks family and hope to be apart of it for many years. The instructors are ALL amazing and very professional, kind, and yet they make sure to have a little fun during each class. Definitely able to keep the kiddos interested every class. We would like to thank the kicks Fitchburg staff for everything they do!! The facility is also always spotless and this eased our minds especially during Covid. Less
The teachers here are so patient and kind. They really make the effort to form healthy relationships with the kids and I haven't seen them get frustrated once when the kid is trying hard, but keeps making the same mistake. The way they schedule classes here also works fantastic for my family, I love the flexibility.
Great Black Belt Instructors! They are so nice! You can tell that they really care about each every student’s karate journey. My daughter absolutely loves coming to class. Her confidence has improved. We like the early and easy class checkin option online before class. They know every kid’s name.

Matt was so fun and our kids had a blast!
The staff are top notch and very professional. My son loves his karate classes and all the challenges!
The best karate school in Madison! Our daughter loved her time there and all of her instructors. The Degnans are amazing to work with and not only teach karate but also life skills.

The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We have been going to Kicks Unlimited since the start of 2021. We were very concerned about precautions being taken due to COVID-19 and Kicks Unlimited has done a great job of easing our minds. Kids have their own marked off spaces in the hall to store their shoes & coats, and on the mat as well. The instructors do a good job of teaching the kids to stay in their own squares on the mat. Parents also get their own taped off, spread out spaces to sit and watch. The staff also cleans in between classes and students aren't allowed into the building until it is time for class to start. There is always someone waiting at the door with a bottle of hand sanitizer to let us in at the start of class. My 5 year old son has loved going to Kicks Unlimited and has been so proud of already earning his gold stripe belt. Thanks for being so awesome! Less
I can’t say enough about how great this has been for our 8 and 5 year old daughters. The instructors are all very helpful and positive.
Very friendly staff and knowledgeable instructors. The other people who practice here are also super nice.
Great place to be for ya children and yourself!
I just can’t describe how awesome all this time has been since my daughter started with classes. We tried a few different activities before and just with kicks unlimited is when she starting been very interested. I so happy.
Friendly staff who really care about the students and helps them to really learn karate well. I highly recommend them!
I am satisfied with kicks unlimited martial arts as they have good messages along with great Karate to share with the class, also Mr. Moore and staff are very cooperative and offer to help students one on one which makes a whole lot of difference!
My grandson has only been a member for a week and a half, but I am very impressed with the way the classes are conducted. There are always several assistants there to assist individual students.

It is a great place for your kids to let the energy out, learn a discipline, respect, self defense and much more!
Great staff and awesome program. The instructors are very knowledgeable about their craft and expects all students to give 100% to their classes. The instructors also make the classes very fun and engaging.
martial arts, perseverance
Great motivation for physical fitness and mental strength. Mr Moore is outstanding!

We took advantage of a great introductory special they offer as an opportunity to let kids see if it's a good fit. Of course, he loved it, and we were hooked! I love the life lessons they provide that translate to school and home too--lessons on how to be kind and respectful, how to handle difficult situations, how to be disciplined, how to push yourself to try harder. The physical aspect of it is great. And, they're very focused on each kids' own journey. They also know how to have fun too, and offer a variety of events and activities to bond as a community and have fun outside of class. The vibe completely suits us. Not too hard core, intense or aggressive (no Cobra Kai here! :)) yet very much committed to the principles and discipline of martial arts. A welcoming community. He is so proud every time he's promoted to a new belt. It's great to see! Less
We love Kicks Unlimited for our son. The instructors are all fantastic and are great at working with kids. They really make an effort to make karate fun as well as character-building.
The staff inspired our grandson to work beyond the expectations he had for himself. They are exceptional teachers and mentors.
This place is awesome, the instructors make it so you wanna do karate every day.😃
son muy buenas sus clases
excellent teachers and fantastic experience for my son and me; It has become your favorite activity. thankyou

My son loves going to karate because of the wonderful instructors. I am amazed at not only their skill but their talent to teach young children with so much passion and enthusiasm each and every session!
Such an amazing school for Karate all around. The instructors truly care about their students and strive to make them better. I would recommend to anyone.
Our son has been going to Kicks Unlimited since he was 7. He's now 16 and going for his second degree black belt. The school is very consistent and works hard to make the classes fun but challenging. It's been a great experience for our son.
Amazing instructors! Amazing people!! Great fun for the whole family!!!

Hello, I am a black belt and a friend of Jack. It is a really great place to have fun and stay fit! - Mr.Price
This has been wonderful for my 5 year old!
So glad I found this group. I could not recommend more. I continue to be impressed at their ability to help and teach the little ninjas. I like watching the more advanced classes. I highly recommend to anyone looking for exercise, fun, and focus for their young ones. They do a great job including all kids of all levels and abilities.
The instructors are great! I have been going to Kicks Unlimited for a couple of months now. I am already beginning to get back in shape, while having fun and learning karate at the same time. My daughter loves it too! I highly recommend Kicks Unlimited.

My daughter has really enjoyed her classes at Kicks Unlimited! We have seen it help her at home and school as well. She has more focus, shows determination and has an overall drive to accomplish goals. We love it!
Kicks Unlimited really took the time to work with our son Eric. He was shy at first but has really come around in the Lil Ninja class. He now has fun and is really making progress

My son wanted to write his own review: I've been attending Kicks Unlimited Fitchburg for six years now, and each year has brought on so much positive change in my life. Empathy, perseverance, kindness, leadership, focus, confidence and the importance of contributing to my community are all important skills that have been emphasized throughout my time participating in this dojo. Not only have I benefited from this experience, but my helpful and supporting classmates have as well. Each class pushes me to be the hardest working version of myself as I can be. The Kicks Unlimited staff can be given lots of credit for my growing strength both physically and mentally. They are compassionate and encouraging, and willing to do whatever it takes to enhance my abilities. For example, the teachers will often stay after class with me to do more than the curriculum requires. They willingly go above and beyond what their jobs ask of them because they genuinely care about each individual. Overall, the past years have been an amazing experience. The teachers and the dojo create an environment that is not only fun but also beneficial to be a part of. - Jack Less
The staff is very family friendly. A place were you truly feel welcomed.
It's pretty bad if you have to pay your customers for reviews. Its says a lot about a company if they have to pay people for a review
We have been taking our son and he likes it a lot. He a a bit shy and most probably the smallest in the class but he gets proper attention and relays back what Mr. Moore told to do. Kids always get their exercise one way or another but the total combination of discipline, interaction, behavior and exercise is welcoming. The 15 year bash was awesome.
Kicks is awesome! All of the instructors & staff are top notch! Glad to be a part of the Kicks family!
We all go there as a family and absolutely love the environment . Very uplifting and motivating . We are benefiting as a family and are very Happy with everyone there . Thank you
I (Becca) find the classes hard. It gives you a lot of exercise.
I gave 5 stars because my child who has been attending only for couple days have changed his attitude already. I love how they teach you how to respect, listen, and discipline. I am looking forward to seeing some more changes in my child.
I've only been here a couple days and everyone is very nice and friendly. The instructors make it fun for the kids, even for the adults. Glad I signed up my son.
Very kind and patient staff. My daughter loves her class and the instructors.
We've had a tremendous experience at Kicks Unlimited! The instructors and staff provide a hugely positive influence on my son's development. Not only is he learning karate and improving his fitness, but he is also learning about character -- respect, open-mindedness, integrity, etc. Kicks offers a well-rounded program and I'd recommend it to anyone!
Awesome karate classes. Our son has learned a lot about focus, balance,, and fitness, Great teachers in a friendly environment.

Kicks unlimited is an awesome school and you should go there.
We love Kicks Unlimited !! Great instructors and staffs.. Our son is in Little Ninja program , not only he learns Karate but it also improves his discipline. He is way more confidence now after joining the program. Highly recommended !!!
As an adult, I decided to join Kicks Unlimited as an alternative workout for myself. What impressed me the most was the positive culture. Everyone is cheering on the first person and the last person. It is about bettering yourself, pushing yourself, and then stepping back and being proud of how hard you worked. Wonderful group of people, great culture, and tough workouts!
Our whole family loves Kicks Unlimited!!!!!!! It is a great way to get the whole family active and engaged!

He had tried many other sports activities in the past, and while he liked most of them, he was never passionate about them like he his about karate at Kicks Unlimited. We have seen his fitness and flexibility increase considerably. More importantly we have scene is passion, discipline and drive develop to a point we have not seen with him in the past. He ALWAYS looks forward to his classes and he is constantly practicing around the house. Kicks not only teaches fitness and karate, but valuable life lessons that kids need! The instructors and staff are top notch. We would never consider going anywhere else, and are looking forward to starting our daughter when she is old enough. Less
We have been a part of the Kicks family for over 10 years now! Can not speak highly enough about the dedication all of the instructors have for teaching and passing on their love for martial arts on to each of the students. My 14yo started out in the Lil Ninja program and is now on her way to her 2nd degree blackbelt and learning to be an instructor. Thank you for all you do Kicks Unlimited!!!!!

Fantastic multi-faceted benefits from our 9 years @ Kicks Unlimited! As a six year old, the benefits ... a jump in focus and appropriate energy release for a very fidgety boy. At nine, we saw great perseverance and dedication as he committed himself to the hard work of earning a black belt. As he approached his teen years, I really saw character aspects shine: respect, confidence, good eye contact and discernment as he made wise choices. Now a second degree, he has his sights on that third-degree stripe and all the support to make it a reality. Thank you, Kicks Unlimited family, for all the wonderful opportunities you've given our son. Less

I highly recommend karate at Kicks Unlimited Fitchburg. My son is nine years old, currently on a three year track toward his 2nd degree black belt with an emphasis on teaching karate. He started at age four and achieved his black belt at the relatively young age of eight. I can't emphasize enough how the journey toward black belt, and now the journey beyond, has complemented his overall maturation in life physically, mentally, and emotionally. Karate training at Kicks has propagated characteristics that every parent would want for their child -- focus, discipline, respect, self confidence, self esteem and physical skills. At the karate classes, short talks are given by the instructors to the students on a variety of important attributes on living a good, proper, successful life. For me, these benefits are greater than the art of self defense, which the students definitely learn. The attitudes acquired in karate sessions do carry over into the home and the academic class room. My son has developed a characteristic of always being the first to shoot his hand up when a question is asked by a teacher. I believe the parents also benefit from being present at the karate classes, if not participating, but just observing. The students, and parents as well, develop long standing worthy relationships. The mission and quality of the individual instructors at Kicks is what makes the place. Mr. Huett, founder, Mr. Clary, head instructor, and Mr. Griffey are excellent martial artists, teachers, and communicators. They truly love what they do. We are fortunate to be part of the Kicks community. I highly recommend Kicks Unlimited Fitchburg. Also, there are sister Kicks Unlimited schools in Middleton, lead by Mr. Mbow, and in Sun Prairie, lead by Mr. Degman. Less
