Kickside Martial Arts Online Class Will Try To Break World Record

PRINCETON/HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Kickside Martial Arts in Princeton and Hillsborough will attempt to break a world record by hosting the "World's Largest Martial Arts Online Class" (WLC) on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Owners John Kanabay and Elise Reed saw an opportunity to fill the void left in the martial arts world from the new new coronavirus pandemic, which closed so many studios across the globe, and started the virutal classes.

The free event is also a new coronavirus charity fundraiser for Project C.U.R.E.

"As martial arts instructors, we're all missing the daily interaction with our students," said John Kanabay, the WLC’s creator. "We created this event as a way to engage with our students but also to raise much needed monies for healthcare professionals."

The event will consist of nine world-renowned martial artists teaching segments in their featured style ranging from sport karate to mixed martial arts. Instructors include:

• John Kanabay, World Breaking Champion (Co-Creator, WLC)
• Elise Reed: Bellator MMA Fighter (Co-Creator, WLC)
• Mike Chaturantabut: founder of XMA / Blue Power Ranger
• Raymond Daniels: Bellator MMA Fighter
• Mackenzi Emory: Team Paul Mitchell Sport Karate World Champion
• Dave Kovar: Martial Arts Master and motivational speaker
• Jackson Rudolph: Team Paul Mitchell Sport Karate World Champion
• Chip Townsend: Motivational martial artist, ISKA World Breaking Champion
• Master Ken: Self-proclaimed 11 th degree black belt and comedian
