Side Kicks Karate DAD AND SON

How It All Began......

At the heart of Side Kicks is a mission to empower children with confidence, self-belief, and life skills that last far beyond the mat. I was introduced to martial arts at eight years old to help me overcome a personal disability and severe bullying—and it forever changed my life.

What began as my parents’ way of supporting me has become my passion for helping kids in the Rome, NY community build strength, confidence, focus, and resilience in a safe, positive environment.
