KICKS Advanced Training Centers has several amazing programs for kids, and families but their Action Team program takes learning and training the highest level. Members of the Action Team learn not just how to become great martial artists but also how to become great leaders and great people. Our future is in good hands thanks to these amazing people and what they do, and how they act. We are going to highlight just one of those individuals, Assistant Instructor Ariyana Tavakoli. Ariyana is a 14-year-old high school freshman who attends Redlands High School and is highly involved in school with their speech and debate team. When she started at KICKS, Ariyana was a shy 10-year-old girl with a lot of enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn and to go far. "Since joining KICKS, she has become a lot more outgoing. She has grown leaps and bounds as a martial artist and as a leader," says Chief Instructor Angelique. Her confidence level has grown to such a degree that it is like night and day; she has completely transformed. Ariyana has become much more involved in school as a leader and with extra curricular activities. Ariyana is a person to watch and see just how far one can go in life. What she has accomplished already in just a few years is more than most people can accomplish in decades. The team is all very proud of her at KICKS. KICKS Action Team program made a huge impact on all of its members, and it can do the same for you. KICKS has programs for all ages and experiences and ability levels. Join KICKS today and be a part of something that is truly life changing. The world needs leaders now more than ever.
