Martial Arts Schools near Cherry Hill

“My daughter attends karate classes here, and it has been a wonderful experience for her. The instructors are patient and kind when communicating with the kids. If they notice a child struggling, they come over to offer one-on-one guidance. They instill positivity, self-love, and strength, not only in karate but also in other areas of life, encouraging the children to always choose themselves, be honorable, control their emotions, stay focused, and respect their parents. I have seen a tremendous change in my daughter's self-esteem. She truly enjoys karate, even though she is very girly.“

“My eight year old daughter loves Action Karate. We as parents love it too as they instill focus, determination, and discipline.“

“I tried out Muay Thai this place a while ago, during a time when I was searching for a new martial arts school. Even though I ultimately decided to move in a different direction, Derek was a very nice man and I like him. He's very personable, and knowledgeable too, which is good. I still follow Strikezone's page on Facebook. Depending on what opportunities arise for me in the future, I would be open to possibly trying out Muay Thai again at some point :o)“

“Action karate is awesome ! Instructors are top tier! What you learn at action karate doesn’t just make you better on the mat but a better person for the world. Action karate is a blessing !!“

“Action Karate Cinnaminson is awesome and a huge family atmosphere. The instructors really care about the kids being the best version of themselves in all aspects, not just karate. They constantly reinforce the importance of listening, doing good in school, self-discipline, respect, overcoming obstacles, and hard work all while teaching them karate in a fun atmosphere and building their self-confidence. They make sure to talk with and help each student individually during every class so no one ever feels left out. The kids have a blast in class and are always making new friends.

I can't recommend this place enough for both kids and adults of all ages. The students from white belts through black belts all support each other and have a great time every class. You get to learn karate and self-defense all while getting in a great workout that relieves the stress of work parenting and everyday life. Everyone leaves every class with a huge smile. They also have tons of cool events and different types of training. We are so happy we decided to check it out and my entire family is enrolled and loving it. If you have any interest or curiosity, check out one class, and you or your child will be hooked immediately.“

“I signed up for a free class and having no martial arts experience I was nervous, but instantly felt welcomed the moment | arrived. Marco was there to personally greet me, shake my hand and walk me through what the class would look like.

I unfortunately was not able to participate the way l'd hoped (because of my own medical issues with my heart) so I had to stop training shortly into the class. Marco then invited me to sit with him, observe the class and chat with me for the next half hour since I had already drove to the class.

During that half hour he educated me with a wealth of information about his training philosophy. I asked him some questions about martial arts and what I could do to learn some form of self defense that wasn't as cardio intensive. He offered me some alternatives, but told me my time and money would be better spent training myself technique from videos online since I couldn’t participate in a class environment. He was upfront and honest with me which I appreciated.

From my non expert observation, this is the place you want to train. It's not just sport focused, it's HIGHLY self defense focused. You will constantly be training against others gaining skill. And most important you will be taught how to critically think, not just copy moves. This place is the real deal.

Marco is intensely passionate about his craft, and if you train here I’m sure you will become that way too. 2 free classes never hurt anybody! So do it.“

“Anyon and his team were so nice to train together. I would like to train again when I visit Philadelphia.“

“The membership is $180.00 a month, it's definitely not bad if you're gonna go every day or 4 times a week. The easiest way to contact them is to text them.“

“My 3 children are registered there! They really like the classes and the instructors are very competent and professional.
The children learn quickly and very well! Thank you to the whole team for the fantastic work you do!
??????❤️“

“I had the opportunity to visit Old City Aikido for a training session while on a trip to Philly from NY. It has been several years since my last visit. I found the dojo refurbished with more mat space, nicely organized, and super clean. It created a wonderful setting to train. The instruction led by Jason Perna Sensei was wonderful and inspirational with lots of personalized coaching throughout the session. The setting, instruction, and students there created a serious and fun experience. I can’t wait to visit again sometime soon! Thank you!“

“We had an amazing experience at Brnich Karate Studio with our Girl Scout troop! The instructors were patient, engaging, and made the session fun while teaching valuable skills. Highly recommend!“

“Attended a seminar here. A really nice gym! The facilities were clean, everyone was welcoming and friendly, and the instruction was great. The owner was really nice and super passionate about Jiu Jitsu. Definitely a gym to check out if you are in the South Jersey area.“

“All Sensei here really care about the students. Top notch karate training facility. My daughter goes here now, going for her first Degree black belt.“

“I've been coming here for over 10 years and they're like family to me. On so many levels, I am a completely different person than when I walked through that door the first time, wish I started sooner! It's not an exaggeration to say that they have changed my life for the better.“

“Recently started with the team at Budo. I have both my kids in the first weeks of their training and signed up because we were invited to a birthday party there of all things. The staff was extremely friendly (coach Brandon) at the party and invited us back for a true class. Immediately after the class both my kids asked if they could do it again (Coach Josh and Coach Seth really made them feel welcome. There was a sign in the lobby greeting them). We signed up after a great personal meeting with Coach Seth. He laid out that the plan for the kids was to focus on discipline, getting stronger and gaining confidence. This wasn’t anything my kids were particularly lacking today but I could tell that the staff there were just going to help them both grow in those areas and more. At 7 and 4, I wasn’t too sure my kids would take to it as quickly as they did but to my surprise, they look forward to each class and really spend the 45 minutes while there honed in on listening to the coaches and sensei. Initial experience has been extremely positive and worthy of the 5 stars. I look forward to seeing both kids grow a Budo.

“I’m a student there and I’m learning a lot life lessons and self defense it’s a lot of fun and maybe you can use it someday to save yourself or someone“

“So proud of my husband baby you are doing an awesome job with the school and the children at the school keep up the good work they love you and so do I aways.“

“Master Son is best Martial Arts we ever had! He really cares about all his students. Every class is so fun and my daughter and I both see a difference in our body and mental strength since taking Hapkido class!!!“

“My son began learning martial arts from Mr. Bob 3 years ago. We signed up for a few trial classes at first, and in no time it was obvious that Bob Poole is the perfect blend of expert martial artist, master-teacher and kind-hearted human who isn't afraid to show his quirks. Students in Mr. Bob's dojo can't help but enjoy class, because HE is so determined to enjoy his classes. The energy is always fun, focused, and electrified by the enthusiasm and wisdom he constantly shares. He's a true "unicorn" martial arts master: Sensitive to the needs of children, Truly hilarious-while professional, and an awesome role-model with multiple black belts across a significant range of fighting arts.“

“(Translated by Google) Hi, I just wanted to ask if you speak Spanish because my daughter speaks Spanish and she doesn't know English(Original)Hola sólo quería preguntar si es que hablan español porque mi hija habla español y ella no sabe inglés“

“I recommend this dojo to everyone. Especially those looking for a challenge. Sensei Heimlich does a fantastic job bringing his expertise and knowledge for everyone to learn. My 8-year-old looks forward to class every night.“

“My son has been with the Little Dragons for over a year. I can clearly see his progress through challenges and learning through fun.“

“Sensai Irene was very thorough and courteous. We signed our son up for the trial period and we're hoping he sticks with it after our local studio closed last month. Only downside is the classes are shorter than we're used to. They're only 35 minutes long, but we'll see what happens. Too early to tell if he'll stick with it, but it seemed like a great environment so far.“

“Went to my first group lesson today and felt comfortable and very welcomed! You can tell Andy is passionate about what he does and wants the best for his students-- taking the time to break down each movement and really making sure you understand exactly why it's done and how it works and helps your body! I can't wait to learn more and grow with this amazing art form! I'll be sure to update later as I go along!“

“Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Very patient and thorough while they are teaching. My 5 year old son loves it!!! I was really nervous on who to choose but I am so thankful we chose Yi’s Karate.“
