What students say
“Their place feels comfortable when I watch my son practice and they are so positive and encouraging to all the kids who come to practice.”
“When I signed up, I was not aware of some minor things that would have led to about 300 $ in savings annually which I certainly would have done.”

From the reviews
My son was new to martial arts when he started at Kickstart. We attend about 4 classes a week and my son has achieved the rank of green belt in about 6 months. He loves the whole experience and has made some friends there. He truly looks forward to it every day. The instructors are excellent with the kids.
Last year my youngest son needed a confidence boost, both physically and mentally. A friend mentioned martial arts and in that same week at a banquet I sat next to Paul and Kellie Sisk who operate Kickstart Martial Arts in Eagan.
I was a former student of kick start martial arts. This place helped me in more ways then just combative purposes. It gave me friends and people I could talk with and look forward to seeing after a long school day. The owners, and helpers are nice to everyone. If im being honest I was a brawler with my classmates.
Amazing place!! Our two kids have attended the family owned martial arts studio since 2013. Both my Son and Daughter attended the after school program and our Daughter continues taking martial arts classes getting closer to test for her 2nd degree black belt.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Kick Start Martial Arts
Kick Start Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a self-defense class, 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 athletic to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build the fundamentals (stance, movement, and core self-defense techniques) over weeks, and controlled pressure-testing eases in gradually so every drill stays safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or Level 1 class time so your first session is alongside others who are also just starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Krav Maga class at Kick Start Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
