Portage JiuJitsu -Lightning Kicks

We have personally known Amir for many years now and he is the true stereotype of a true martial artist and professor. His humbleness is pure and his desire to help others is something that isn’t found too often now a days specifically in the martial arts world. His level of expertise and knowledge of martial arts is by far more superior than most professor I’ve come to meet.

The best Martial Arts School in the area! I've been all over the US for training and lightning kicks is next level. Walking into a martial arts school can be intimidating, but the whole team at lightning kicks is very humble and welcoming.

I've known Master Khillah for a decade and a half. The only thing that surpasses his martial arts ability, is his passion for teaching others. He has dedicated much of his life to improving people's lives through martial arts. Whether you want to learn striking or grappling for your own improvement, or you want your kids to have a positive environment to learn life skills, Lightning Kicks is the place!

Highly recommend lightning kicks! I took level 1 and 2 woman’s self defense class this morning. I was extremely nervous as I was taking the class by myself and found everyone to be really friendly and all instructors were so amazing! Level 2 was no joke and I struggled a bit with the movements but they were very encouraging and worked with me until I got it. I will definitely be coming back for more.

I love this place. I have been attending classes for almost a year and this is truly the place to learn MMA. All the instructors have a wealth of experience to share and really care about your progress as a Martial artist. Amir is as humble as it gets and he really tries to lift up students everyday! I also can't say enough about the other students I train with! It has truly enhanced my experience being with such kind and talented individuals! I recommend Lightning Kicks to everyone that has the time and means to give it shot! I fell in love, maybe you will too!

I attended a self defense class recently and what I learned far exceeded my expectations! I am a beginner without any back ground in self defense. The class was well structured, will a lot of opportunity to practice different possible situations with a potential aggressor. The instructor, who works in law enforcement himself, was extremely interactive, helped maximize potential for success and gave a lot of feedback on technique and how to maximize your force, especially if you attacker is larger than you. I highly recommend everyone take this class!

Lightning Kicks is more than just an extracurricular activity/outlet. It is a place where individuals are empowered, educated and encouraged to become leaders in whatever walk of life they find themselves in. It doesn't matter what your size, age or ability level. is - the instructors will adapt and help you become the best version of yourself.I love this school and the community that surrounds it. Do yourself a favor and come check it out, you won't regret it! :)

My son has been coming for several months now, we signed up because it’s difficult for him to sit still. The classes teach respect, responsible and self worth. I could not suggest the classes more. The teachers and owner are both on a league above others.

I had a very positive experience with the Women self defense classes that are offered at Lightning Kicks. Amir, the instructor, is very knowledgeable and makes sure that everyone understands the "why" behind each action and motion. The environment is very safe and accommodating to everyone. I highly recommend the women self defense class to women and girls of all ages.

The instructors are fantastic. They keep the kids engaged and teach them in a way that they understand, all while still teaching them to be respectful and listen. I love how they add affirmations for them to say at the beginning of each class. Affirmations help teach self-positivity.
