Head Professor: Hector Garcia

Details: Since Lightning Kicks opened, we’ve been dedicated to changing lives through the power of martial arts. Founded by Amir Khillah in 2001, the school has been guided by the principle of the Peaceful Warrior, which empowers each individual to defend and protect themselves when needed while also striving towards a peaceful existence. We believe in empowering our students and pride ourselves in having an environment where all feel welcome and are supported in their journey to become a Peaceful Warrior. It is more than just a martial arts school, it is a family. We strongly believe that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender or experience levels. Throughout all of our programs, students will not only learn the necessary skill sets to protect themselves, we stand behind our realistic and practical approach, confident it will enable every member to achieve greatness and live their best life. In 2023, long-time student Hector Garcia became the full-time owner of Lightning Kicks. Hector came to Lightning Kicks as an 18 year old who was able to explore his potential in martial arts and as a leader. He hopes to continue the foundational values of Lightning Kicks as well as expanding to accommodate growth. We are lucky to have black belts who oversee the BJJ, Hapkido, and Kid’s Martial Arts programs, and all programs are welcoming to those who are interested in joining either recreationally or to those who wish to compete. With decades of training and competition experience under their belt, our instructors will put you in the best position to succeed. Come enjoy our welcoming environment for any and all interested in the martial arts. Our commitment to the Peaceful Warrior philosophy sets us apart from other schools, and our commitment to helping one another become the best we can be on and off the mat. We hope to see you soon.
