Karate Trains More Than Kicks

Martial arts gives children repeated opportunities to listen, follow directions, set goals, and keep trying. These habits strengthen focus, confidence, and self-discipline at home, at school, and in everyday life.

Supporting Levi & His Family

Side Kicks was founded in 1999 with my father’s help and a mission to help children become confident, strong, and bullyproof. After losing my father to cancer in 2013, I made it my mission to honor his memory by supporting cancer research and using the Side Kicks platform to help families in our community.

Today, we are asking for your support for a family friend and wonderful young man, Mr. Levi DeMatteis, who is battling cancer. We are holding a benefit to help Levi and his family with the growing costs of the care he needs.

We are raffling off ½ a pig from Miller’s Meat Market in Lowville, NY to help support Levi and his family.

These are our special bonus gifts to thank you for supporting Levi.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us in the fight against cancer and for showing your love and support to Levi and his family.

Did you know that peer pressure can be managed with a simple mindset shift?

Standing Strong

We provide tools for kids to recognize when they are being pushed in the wrong direction. By building a strong 'positive identity,' they learn how to trust their own judgment before anyone else's.
