WELCOME to KICKPICS Professional Martial Arts Photography
My name is Mr. Stace Sanchez and I am the President/Owner of KICKPICS. In October 2001, I created this website as a hobby. The goal – to feature the world’s best kickers and their kickpics. In our first month of hitting the web, we racked in a whole 25 views. From 2001 to 2008, we went from 25 views to average 5 to 7,000 hits per month.
In 2008, I walked away from my 10 years+ career as a Mortgage Broker and started KICKPICS, the business. With the help of social media (MySpace, Facebook, Instagram), KICKPICS became THE place to feature some of the world’s best kickpics. In September 2022, our KICKPICS business page on Facebook broke a record with over 19.8 MILLION views in one month, up from our previous record of 16.7 million.
Today, I am still travelling from coast to coast doing photo shoots at martial arts schools. I still make time to do personal shoots because those are what put KICKPICS on the map. Over the years, I have added martial arts school marketing, fitness, high school senior portraits and business headshot shoots to my repertoire.
To see samples of my work, please click on the links listed on the right side of the page. If you are interested in setting up a photo shoot, please email me at kickpics@gmail.com or you can message me on Instagram (link is on the bottom right side of the page).

Thanks for stopping in and remember……keep kickin!
"Stace Sanchez was just one of those martial kids with a quirky dream. Discover how his dream has become a martial arts phenomenon that's sweeping not only the US, but the world." - TaeKwonDo Times, November 2007 "Count me in as a school instructor who validates Stace's unprecedented incentives! In fact, we're bringing KICKPICS back for the second time this year to shoot pics at all eight of our locations! His work is second to none, customer service is UNMATCHED. Prompt responses, quick turn-around on the pics - you will not find ANYONE who does better work. Period." - Hank Minitrez, TigerDen Martial Arts, Virginia |
