The Kid Who Walks In NervousWalks Out Different.
Head Instructor Nick Cain has been training since age 3 — thirty years on the mat — and he runs this school because he believes every kid in Clarence deserves what martial arts gave him.
Does any of this
sound familiar?
The right environment changes everything. Before kids — and adults — find the mat, the symptoms look a lot alike.
- 01Your kid comes home from school quiet — and you know something happened, but they won't talk about it. You're not sure if they're being left out, pushed around, or just losing confidence — and you don't know how to fix it from the outside.
- 02You've signed them up for rec soccer, swim lessons, maybe even a team sport — but nothing stuck. They go through the motions, count down to the end of practice, and you're left wondering what actually lights them up.
- 03Screen time is winning. You've tried the limits, the timers, the "go outside" conversations. But when the alternative isn't exciting, they always find their way back to the couch.
- 04You want your kid to stand up for themselves — not be aggressive, just not a pushover. Whether it's a bully at Clarence Middle, a tough situation at recess, or just learning to say no, you want them to have a backbone.
- 05You're juggling a packed schedule and you can't afford to invest time and money into something they'll quit in six weeks. You need something that actually holds their attention — and means something to them.
- 06You see your child shrinking. In group settings, in photos, in how they carry themselves walking into a room. You want them to take up space — confidently, kindly — but you don't have a roadmap for building that kind of inner strength.
Four programs.
One standard.

Kids Martial Arts
Self-defense and life skills — respect, discipline, focus, confidence — drilled every class.

BJJ
Authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense, sport, and a great workout — for kids and adults.

Taekwondo
Explosive kicks, traditional forms, and modern conditioning — the Amerikick cornerstone.

Little Dragons
Gross motor skills, listening, focus, and anti-bullying basics wrapped in 30 minutes of structured fun.

Four pillars.
One transformation.
The skills every Amerikick Clarence student earns on the mat — and carries with them off it.
- 01
Confidence, Earned
Confidence isn't a participation trophy. It's built one rep, one board, one belt at a time — and it shows up everywhere else in their life.
- 02
Focus That Transfers
Structured classes train attention like a muscle. Parents and teachers see the difference at home and at school within weeks.
- 03
Self-Defense, For Real
Authentic BJJ, traditional Taekwondo, and modern Kickboxing. Skills that work — taught by instructors who actually train.
- 04
Family Atmosphere
You'll know everyone's name. Everyone will know yours. This is a dojo, not a franchise factory.
