Supporting Levi & His Family

Side Kicks was founded in 1999 with my father’s help and a mission to help children become confident, strong, and bullyproof. After losing my father to cancer in 2013, I made it my mission to honor his memory by supporting cancer research and using the Side Kicks platform to help families in our community.

Today, we are asking for your support for a family friend and wonderful young man, Mr. Levi DeMatteis, who is battling cancer. We are holding a benefit to help Levi and his family with the growing costs of the care he needs.

We are raffling off ½ a pig from Miller’s Meat Market in Lowville, NY to help support Levi and his family.

🎟️ Tickets: $20
📅 Drawing: October 14th

The winner will also receive:

30 days of martial arts classes at Side Kicks
A free Side Kicks T-shirt
Our Bullyproof book, Unleash the Hero Inside Your Kid

These are our special bonus gifts to thank you for supporting Levi.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us in the fight against cancer and for showing your love and support to Levi and his family.

If you would like to purchase a ticket or learn more about how you can help, please reach out to us at Side Kicks.

🧠 YOUR CHILD’S MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS.
Did you know that millions of children and teens experience anxiety or depression?

And these struggles can affect more than just how a child feels. They can impact school, friendships, concentration, motivation, confidence, and everyday life.

So what can parents do?

🥋 BUILD CONFIDENCE BEFORE THEY NEED IT.

At SIDE KICKS, we don’t claim that martial arts can cure anxiety or depression. What we do is help children develop valuable skills that can help them face life’s challenges:

💪 Confidence — Believe in yourself.
🎯 Focus — Learn to stay focused when things get difficult.
🗣️ Communication — Learn to speak up and ask for help.
🧠 Self-Control — Learn to manage reactions and make better choices.
⭐ Resilience — Learn that setbacks don’t define you.
🤝 Connection — Become part of a positive, supportive community.

Because sometimes a child doesn’t need someone to simply tell them “be confident.”

They need opportunities to experience confidence, practice it, and build it.

And that’s what we do every day at SIDE KICKS. 🥋

Build the child BEFORE the challenge comes.

🥋 Parents, School Starts Soon…

How long will it be before your child comes home and says:

“Mom… Dad… I’m being bullied.”

For many parents, that moment is heartbreaking—and they wish they had prepared their child sooner.

🥋 SIDEKICKS can help.

We help children build the confidence to speak up, the discipline to make good choices, and the self-control to handle difficult situations.

And we didn’t just create a program around these ideas…

WE WROTE THE BOOK ON IT—LITERALLY! 📖

Our Bullyproof: Unleash the Hero Inside Your Kid program gives kids practical tools to build confidence, handle challenging situations, stand up for themselves appropriately, and make smart choices.

⭐ Don’t wait until there’s a problem to start building confidence.

We teach kids to be STRONG. CONFIDENT. RESPECTFUL. PREPARED.

Not to look for fights—but to know what to do when challenges come their way.

💪 Build confidence BEFORE they need it.

School starts soon. Let’s help your child start STRONG! 🥋💪

🧠 WHY DO KIDS PUT OFF THE HARD THINGS?

Have you ever wondered why kids will sometimes put off something they KNOW they need to do?

They know the homework needs to get done.
They know they should apologize.
They know they need to make the right choice.
They know a difficult conversation needs to happen.

Yet somehow… they wait until the last minute. 😬

But then something interesting happens…

Put them in front of their friends, give them an opportunity to impress someone, or let them feel like they need to prove themselves—and suddenly they're ready to jump in!

Why?

Because immediate rewards and approval can feel easier than making the tough choice.

At Side Kicks Karate, we work on something much deeper than kicks and punches.

🥋 We teach kids to make the right choice—even when nobody is watching.

💪 Choose courage over comfort.
🧠 Think before they act.
🎯 Follow through instead of putting things off.
❤️ Understand that their value doesn't come from getting everyone's approval.
⭐ Build confidence from who they are and what they accomplish, not from needing someone else to validate them.

We want kids to learn:

“I don't have to prove myself to everyone.
I don't need everyone to like me.
I don't need attention to know my worth.”

Kids need to know they are capable of making tough choices, handling challenges, and believing in themselves.

That's what we're building on the mat every day.

Not just better martial artists…

🔥 Better decision-makers. Stronger minds. More confident kids.

🥋 Let's help your child make better choices, build confidence, and develop the skills they need for life.

Wednesday Rewind 🥋

9 YEARS AGO… ⏪

All the classes.
All the kicks.
All the obstacles.
All the challenges.
All the victories.
All the lessons learned along the way.

Every experience helped shape our students into the people they are today. 💪

There were tough days. There were frustrating moments. There were times when things didn’t come easy.

But through it all, we never lost sight of the goal: to become our best.

Karate is about so much more than earning belts. It’s about learning to keep going, face challenges, believe in yourself, and grow stronger—both on and off the mat.
