MARTIAL ARTS FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS!

Martial Arts Community Engagement: Proaction Holiday Side Kick Challenge

Proaction Martial Arts students sharing photos of their side kicks during the Holiday Side Kick Challenge, staying connected as a community beyond the hall.

At Proaction Martial Arts, we know that martial arts is more than just training — it’s about building a strong, supportive community. Our focus on martial arts community engagement ensures students feel connected and motivated, both in and out of the hall.

What is the Holiday Side Kick Challenge?

The Holiday Side Kick Challenge keeps students active during summer breaks. Students submit photos of themselves performing a side kick wherever they are. These are shared in our private community group, where families, instructors, and students celebrate every effort.

More Than a Challenge — A Sense of Belonging

This challenge isn’t about competition. It’s about connection, encouragement, and team spirit. Parents and students love how it keeps energy high and motivation alive outside regular classes.

Why Community Engagement Matters

Martial arts builds discipline, resilience, and confidence. But community engagement matters just as much. Students who feel part of a supportive martial arts community stay inspired to grow and achieve their goals.

At Proaction Martial Arts, we are open 50 weeks a year, offering consistent opportunities for connection and training. The Holiday Side Kick Challenge is one way we prioritise martial arts community engagement, helping students stay active and motivated during breaks.

Join Our Martial Arts Community

If you want a martial arts school that values community engagement, Proaction Martial Arts is the place to be. Our supportive environment helps every student thrive.

About our programmes

Kids Martial Arts
in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Oxfordshire & The West Midlands

Many Mighty Monkeys (4–6-year-olds) join us shy and nervous, gripping onto parents and carers as they shuffle into the training venues. But after their first session they bristle with excited energy as their confidence soars with a newfound love of Martial Arts.

Our instructors expertly hold the attention of the class. They make sure every child feels included and at ease. They gain the respect and focus of all Mighty Monkeys through being inclusive, approachable, and creating a fun environment their students actively want to be part of.

Our Mighty Monkeys form friendships that will grow with them as they progress through their martial arts journey. It is the best possible introduction to Martial Arts that any parent or carer could give their child. Our 7yr+, Taekwon Do students work on physical and mental strength. We give our students a safe and fun environment in which they feel they belong, constantly strive for achievement, and develop an unshakeable sense of self-worth."
