Kicks Martial Arts Studio on University Ave. offers comprehensive instruction for students ages 3 and up.

The studio was founded in 2009 by Ole Miss graduate Abbey Masner, who holds a 5th-degree black belt. Abbey is assisted by her dad, Alan Smith. Kicks has studios in Oxford, Arkansas, Missouri and Florida.
