The Concept… The Dream
The name Sideswipe symbolizes the group’s ability to break the limits of traditional martial arts and entertain any audience from a direction you wouldn’t expect from a martial arts group. Propelled by the energy and talent of the most skilled martial art performers in the world, Sideswipe combines music and choreography to bring a whole new feel to sports entertainment: The Unexpected Extreme.
Sideswipe first broke into the entertainment world in 2002 by competing and winning $25,000 on the Fox TV show, “30 Seconds to Fame.” Over the next six years, Sideswipe’s appearances on numerous television events – including their groundbreaking performances on NBC’s smash hit show “America’s Got Talent” – has made Sideswipe the most visible martial arts performance team in the business.
Sideswipe is comprised of many different performers from locations across the country. Through a collaborative effort of martial artists, Sideswipe can have multiple performances on the same dates across the United States and beyond.
