In the charming corn-adorned state of Illinois, sandwiched between the chatty Mississippi River and the ever-so-great Lake Michigan, exists a tribe of extraordinary kids. These aren't your everyday, run-of-the-mill, comic book-reading, video game-playing, pizza-munching kids. No, these kids are Illinois' very own Muay Thai Mavericks, sporting their vivid bandanas and high-kicking with the grace of a thousand gazelles! Leading these high-spirited tykes is the irresistibly lovable and hilariously quirky, Sir Punch-A-Lot. With his curly mustache that has a mind of its own, his belly that jiggles like a bowlful of jelly, and his twinkling eyes hidden behind a pair of oversized, neon-green glasses, he is indeed a sight to behold. But don't be fooled by his goofy exterior. This man is a Muay Thai maestro, able to whirlwind kick a bagel out of the toaster from the other side of the room without spilling a drop of his morning coffee. Under Sir Punch-A-Lot's watchful eye, the Muay Thai Mavericks transform from giggling goofballs into disciplined dynamos. Their punches are sharp and their kicks swift, but they never forget to sprinkle a little fun throughout their training. They bob and weave, jab and kick, their laughter echoing across the Illinois plains. Sometimes, they even manage to land a gentle punch or two on Sir Punch-A-Lot's bouncing belly, sending them into fits of belly laughs. In Illinois, these Muay Thai Mavericks don't just train to be champions, they train to have a good time. They're the perfect blend of discipline and silliness, just like their beloved coach, Sir Punch-A-Lot. And together, they're the high-kicking, gut-busting toast of the town!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are.
