“Great place for kids to train. Excellent staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. Flexible options.“
“Our daughter absolutely loves this place, we have been members for about a year, she looks forward to attending classes twice weekly. Not only has she improved her overall physical strength, but has learned new self discipline, self awareness, and accountability. Staff members are very professional and engaging. Thank you for being part of this community!“
“Our child started at 3 years to the day. Mr. Ryan, Mr. Fernandez, and all of the other instructors have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. Seven months in, and the progress is not only noticeable, but incredibly enjoyable to witness and talk through with our kid.“
“really nice and super knowledgeable coaches. they really care for your progress as a student. I especially appreciate how much effort Charlie and Kate put into creating a strong sense of community there.“
“Learning karate at AmKor has been great for my teen. The school offers beginner classes for older students and adults, which is terrific. It’s a disciplined atmosphere focused on learning, yet so friendly and welcoming. My child feels confident and valued in the diverse community, and she learns something new and exciting in every class!“
“We came to Action Karate by way of their after school programs at my children’s school. The family friendly environment and consistent reinforcement of character and discipline have been wonderful. The staff is caring and knowledgeable. They provide opportunities for continued growth and they always celebrate the accomplishments of the students whether tots or adults. Not only has my son committed to the black belt process, my husband has as well! It is a wonderful community to be a part of.“
“Nackord Karate is the BEST. They give attentive attention to each child making them feel special and confident. My daughter Sadie is now OBSESSED and wants to go everyday. Great instilling the fundamentals for self control, self defense, and respect.“

“I began practicing a little over a year and half ago with almost no previous martial arts experience. I am thankful every single day since then that I discovered Aikido. More than that I am thankful that I landed at this dojo. Aikido can seem daunting in the beginning, it is physically challenging and the techniques may not seem as straight forward as other martial arts popular in America. That is one reason people place a lot of emphasis on the community here. Everyone at this dojo wants to see you succeed no matter your age, gender, body type, level of athleticism or anything else. At the end of the day Aikido is you vs. yourself. Everyone at this dojo recognizes that they have had challenges to overcome in their training. In turn we respect the challenges other beginners will be faced with. All anyone needs to start training here is the willingness to show respect to the art, the dojo and their peers.Sensei Perna's dedication to Aikido is inspiring. He leads by example and teaches without ego. In some circles Aikido has a reputation for being performative, more art than martial. But here Sensei Perna and all the other instructors make certain that the martial art you are learning will have practical application in today's world if it were ever necessary. To that end some of the techniques have been modified over the years to fit scenarios that are more likely to occur in our time. When O Sensei developed Aikido over a 100 years ago it was an innovation at the time. I think he would be happy to see continued innovation so that Aikido can remain relevant as a martial art in today's world.“

“I have been wanting to get back into martial arts after a decade hiatus. I tried several other schools in the area but they didn’t speak to me. The students at Philadelphia Jiu-Jitsu are top notch. They are welcoming to beginners, train hard, and prioritize safety as well. Damon is a fountain of knowledge and puts blood sweat and tears into training his students and running his classes. He’s approachable, humble, and rolls with all the students. I’ve gained so much in the short few months I’ve been training here and I would highly recommend the school to anyone who wants to get into high quality and affordable training.“
“Great place to learn and have fun. Been going here since 97. Me Pope and his staff are personal and knowledgeable.“

“My daughter has attended RMAI for almost 6 years. It has been wonderful to watch her develop not only her martial arts skills, but also her confidence, persistence, and growth mindset. She also has a lot of fun! We have been thrilled with the organization and her progress!“
“This journey, if you choose to take it, is a life changing one.For me, getting into the Intermediate class is when I really got the high of jiu-jitsu, becuase thats where essentially all sparring happens and you really start getting in touch with the art, the people, and the work. Really loved it but I got a concussion during a very intense standing spar (not very common in this sport). Being a grad student, this was really bad, but Phil and the team listened to what happened and helped me out.“

“Nothing but the best to say about this place and its team. I have known Jake for a longtime. He Would go out of his way for anyone. I enjoyed training with him when I was involved, and have always told people that want to get started to go there. He welcomes everyone and knows how to train at every level from beginning to advanced, keep killing it I’ll be back one day.. ??“
“Best place around, very authentic boxing gym. Great atmosphere. All coaches there have pro-cards. I train here a few days a week. Love being pushed to work hard. Live sparring is my favorite part. Definitely recommend coming here it you want to learn the sport of boxing.“
“Our 7 year old son has been going for over a year to Pro Martial Fit and he loves it. It really has improved his coordination, confidence and self esteem. He’s not quite ready to take on the neighborhood bully yet, but the messaging of being a considerate, helpful, polite, grateful human being has definitely rubbed off.“
“We absolutely love ECKI ! My oldest son has been going there for a few months and enjoys the challenge of learning a new skill. The instructors are absolutely phenomenal with their gentle guidance of the students. My daughter recently joined as well because we enjoyed it so much!I love that they are helping instill confidence, dedication and other important core values. I can not recommend this studio enough if you are looking for an activity for your child/ren. Absolutely wonderful team!!“

“A judo dojo where a 63-year old is welcomed and feels healthier than ever after 6 months of training must be something special.

“Master Jasper Silvis runs this Wing Chun Academy. He is an energetic, highly knowledgeable and kind teacher that challenges you to do your best while also providing you support and complimenting you along the way.Si-fu Jasper has created such a welcoming, positive, challenging, and fun environment that I always look forward to coming to class.I look forward to coming to class every time because I know that Si-fu Jasper is going to take his time to expertly explain the moves which we are learning and go into detail about how they are used and why.The techniques which we are being taught vary greatly, are perfectly applicable in self-defense to give you the upper hand, and are also a great deal of fun to practice. The students that attend are also great people, and it feels like coming home whenever I go.I highly recommend to everyone that is seeking to learn martial arts to join this academy. Traditional Wing Chun is one of THE BEST forms of martial arts and Si-fu Jasper is an EXCELLENT teacher.“
“Great dojo! Everyone is super nice, helpful, and very patient with new members. I love this place!“
“My daughter went to this school for two years and it was nothing but amazing ! My kid loved getting up everyday to go to school and she loved her teachers so very much. She talked about them all the time. She has also learned so much as well. She is writing very well and knows her letters and numbers. She is also starting to tell time at home. We were so sad to have to move on from Zhang Sah. The teacher are always available to communicate and work very hard to keep your child safe. The front end staff is great as well and very kind and inviting. They also take all precautions when it comes to covid. You won't be disappointed in the school at all !!“

“I love Karate Kickers for my twins. I have a girl and a boy attending. They are learning so much and getting better everyday with the skills and more especially they are gaining confidence. I truly think every kid should have the opportunity to attend Karate Kickers school. Thank you Sensei for all you do.“
