By the age of 16, she discovered her love for teaching and continued teaching until she relocated to New Orleans from Hammond at age 20.
I have been trying to find the right words to describe how amazing this place is and how much the instructors have touched our hearts. My son is accepted for who he is every time he walks through that door. My daughter has leg/hip issues and is aided in her right ear. Even with an aid in she struggles to hear and there are some things she struggles to do because of her leg. They never shamed her and never made her feel less than (we've experienced these before at other places) Its refreshing to see a place willing to accept you for who you are while teaching the kids the zame through their discipline techniques and training. I highly recommend S.I.C.A. to anyone looking for a place to practice MMA
My daughter is being bullied at school so I enrolled her in the young warriors program. So far it's been awesome. She can't wait to go back and never complains about going to learn. The people are professional and the place is clean. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn self defense and/or self confidence.
And I absolutely love this place. I love the instructors I love the self-discipline that they are teaching my child and I also love the fact that they make the children hold themselves accountable. I love that they have to earn their stripes or their bills that it's not just given to them it gives my son a feeling of accomplishment a goal to achieve. My sons father committed suicide in February 2014 and he hasn't had a proper outlet for his emotions and I feel like this is a great place for him to do that to be able to release some of those emotions in a positive manner. I've also referred a few people there I'm not sure if they've signed up or not but I told them if they do to mention my son and I were the ones who referred them. I love the family atmosphere as well. I am so glad we enrolled in this it's truly been a blessing for my son.
I tried working out other places, but S.I.C.A. MMA feels like a second family to me. All the instructors and members are friendly and supportive. Everyone works to hold each other accountable. They have encouraged me to break through physical and mental barriers, helped me gain control of my anxiety, and worked with me to improve my health. Every class I come to feels like I'm coming home.
Great class. Instructor took the time to help each individual student with various techniques regardless of their current skill set.
S.I.C.A MMA is the best if any one in ascension parish interested stop buy for an appointment. The owner Mr Keith would love to have you. We are located in the same location as Malco movie theater.
