Rick’s Kicks Martial Arts

This place IS as good as it gets. I am a former martial artist and studied while I was in the military (Aki-​Jujitsu, Tong-​Su Do, Kickboxing and Arnis.) Like many parents if you try to teach your own kids it is completely different than having someone else work with them (I would recommend this for any parent as it does strain relationships when you try to transfer this knowledge, you can assist but as a primary I wouldn’t suggest it.)
I have tried a few other places but they missed the mark, Ricks hits on all points. I saw some negative reviews and while I am sure they feel validated in their opinions I can assure you my son’s belts were earned and not just handed out… the timing is appropriate for the belt tests and the students current skill sets.
To this day I still keep in touch with my instructor from when I was in the military and he even checked out Ricks and I provided him feedback… my instructor was a three time world champion kickboxer and he gave Rick’s his «blessing»
Do your homework but in my opinion this is a great place and we drive here from McKinney (we must drive by at least 5 other martial arts studios just to get to Ricks if that gives you any idea… its a challenge for us to get our son there but its worth the challenge of driving.

I first learned of this facility from my friend who’s son has been taking lessons here for 5 years. It is an excellent club for your kids to train and learn. Rick and his team are excellent working with kids and getting them to focus.

My son started Ricks over 3 years ago when he just turned 6. Before Ricks he was uncoordinated and not at all athletic (at least compared to the average 6 year old). With in 6 months of training at Rick’s his hand eye coordination, speed and agility increased greatly. Now he is very athletic, picks up new sports quickly. He has self confidence, self discipline and respect for others. Through Rick (and his staff’s) teaching my son has developed a great love for martial arts and the discipline it requires to be successful. This discipline has carried over into his daily life with school and work around the house.
My son has had the opportunity to train at a few other schools in the area with friends and although there are some really good schools in Frisco I feel that none are on the same level as Rick’s when it comes to over all program and staff.
If you are interested in having your child learn Mixed Martial Arts or if you are unsure of a specific discipline you want your child to train in (Karate, Taekwondo, BJJ, etc…). Rick’s is the place. Rick provides a well rounded program. Focusing on striking, kicking and ground game i.e. BJJ and wrestling as well as overall health and fitness.
The best way to learn about Rick’s Kicks is to show up for a trial class spend time talking to the parents and kids that are there. You will see how excited the kids are to be there and how much fun they have training.

Rick’s Kicks has been an excellent experience for my sons who attend. I would highly recommend the training/​school. We are very pleased with all aspects.

We love Ricks Kicks! Mr. Rick and all of his instructors are are great mentors for our son. He looks forward to class each week. We have been with the school for almost three years, It has been a learning and growing experience for our family. Not only Martial Arts, but respect for your self and others, great self esteem booster for kids!

My girls LOVE going to Rick’s Kicks for Mixed Martial Arts. We looked at several others before looking at Rick’s Kicks. They are so friendly, nice, yet teach with respect and discipline. I can’t say enough good things about our experiences.

Love Rick’s Kicks! They not only teach martial arts but also talk about morals, ethics, respect for self and others, and other characteristics that a person should have. Its a very positive environment that builds self esteem and they know every kid by name. Mr. Rick shows he cares about each one of them. We’ve been going for about 4 years now.

We love Mr. Rick and his Martial Arts team! Great clases, great teachers !
They are All very patient and focus on each kid’s needs and development.
Classes are fun but also focused on different values and virtues.
Each week they hand out a colored paper with very nice reflections for all the family!

My 5 year old son has been going to Rick’s Kicks for almost 2 years now. We all love it and believe that Rick’s method is the best. Rick and his entire staff is absolutely caring and amazing! Our son loves it so much that he told me he wants to be a karate teacher when he grows up! We are proud to be part of this ‘family’ and thank Rick and staff for his amazing work with all the kids!!! AWESOME SCHOOL A MUST GO FOR SURE!!!

Ricks Kicks admitted to their mistake of not canceling my contract and returned the money after I provided proof that they received the cancelation letter. My opinion of them is now neutral since they made things right.

First of all Tyler isn’t telling the truth, he obviously signed up for a commitment he couldn’t keep and secondly there is no way his kid went 3 times and got an invite.
Let me tell you Rick is a fabulous mentor. I have 3 boys and have been a customer of Rick’s going on 7 years! If you are looking for your kid to become a cage fighter (Tyler) then move along. But if you want to teach your child what it’s like to put work towards a goal and the benefits of achieving that goal, then Ricks Kicks may be the school for you. I could go on about the structure, the method, the character building, etc., but there’s no need. Just show up to one of the belt testing’s and see the throngs of people in the hundreds who are there to celebrate with their kids. That speaks to the man’s method enough.
