The classes they run
“Wood are great at understanding and relating to children and taking time to explain how to properly use a new move or technique.”
“We enrolled our then 5-year-old son as a beginner at Super Kicks in April 2015, simply because they were running a special and the location is so close to our house.”

From the reviews
My husband, son, and I have been part of the Super Kicks family for the past three years! I never, ever would have thought I would be one to almost have a black belt in a million years!
We initially began by enrolling our child, and were so excited about how they teach we made it a family event. Mr. Bryant and Mr. Wood are great at understanding and relating to children and taking time to explain how to properly use a new move or technique.
We enrolled our then 5-year-old son as a beginner at Super Kicks in April 2015, simply because they were running a special and the location is so close to our house. What we didn't expect, however, was the degree to which he would end up loving the instructors and the experience as a whole. Mr. Wood and Mr.
I am the PTA president of West Salem Elementary school and we utilized Super Kicks for our After Class Enrichment program this fall. I cannot emphasize enough how patient and incredible the leaders were with our kids. They managed a large group of students and were able to teach them some wonderful skills.
New to Karate? Start at Super Kicks Karate
Super Kicks Karate comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Super Kicks Karate
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
