Introducing Kickside Martial Arts of Hillsborough
2013-01-31
We want to take a moment to announce our new location in Hillsborough. Currently Alliance Martial Arts, it will become our second home as of January 31st 2013.
The Hillsborough location’s schedule will go into effect as of 2/4/13. The schedule has been designed to add flexibility. For example, if a student has a time conflict with a class in one school, the other school will offer the same class but at a different time. We want to especially encourage all our members on the Belle Mead border to try out the Brown & Above class at Hillsborough. This should help reduce the crowding in the higher rank classes at the Skillman location
Montgomery students are welcome to attend classes at either location. For students who live closer to Hillsborough, you will have the option of making it your primary school. Our curriculum will remain the same and classes will be taught by all the Montgomery instructors you have grown to know and love. We are very excited about the expansion and hope we can better service our members.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask our staff.
