Martial Arts Schools near Conshohocken

“This is a really great program with incredible staff. Awesome summer camp option too. Staff really cares, amazing with kids and my daughter had a great time learning here!“

“We transferred to Action Karate Plymouth Meeting when we moved from out of state. They are a family run dojo and did an amazing job of acclimating our student and allowed him to utilize the belt level he was currently at to start.

We love that all of their katas are taught in practical terms of self defense. They also discuss value lessons weekly, where they go over characteristics of leadership, gratitude, goal setting, (we especially love that students are required to set goals so they can see progress). After a year here, our son is also now learning how to become a sensi (teach).

They also host some really fun parties: like water wars to celebrate the end of summer, glow in the dark board breaking, etc. They also have get-togethers for the adults. And they have summer camps and parents’ night outs. So everyone really gets a chance to get to know each other.

I cannot thank them enough for how they are helping our son to grow as a person and how welcome we always feel. They feel like part of our family.“

“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.“

“My son has been training here for 3 years and it has been a wonderful journey. The staff instill confidence and a skill set that he practices across so many aspects of his life. The impact karate has had on his life is tangible, both physically and mentally. It has helped him deal with obstacle and hurdles in life and gives him an edge over most of his peers because of the inner strength he has discovered and developed.“

“We enrolled our daughter at Action Karate Mt. Airy to help her have more confidence, learn self-discipline, and perseverance. It has been a little over a year now since she started and I cannot express how great of a decision we made picking this school. She has grown leaps and bounds physically, mentally and morally training with Sensei Dom and the other instructors. The staff has always been friendly and informative; showing they care and love what they do; efficiently working as a team to ensure everyone gets personal attention while achieving their goals. Honestly, if they had 10 stars, I would still want to put 11. Try this karate school and watch your child flourish!!!“

“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.“

“Excellent class. Kind, attentive and fun. Ms. Genevive and team are professionals. Great for adults and children.“

“Giving my beginner one on one instruction is top tier for me! He looks forward to every practice. Willingly gets out of game mode to get to practice.“

“Personal Power Martial Arts has positively impacted and changed my life. I started when I was just 3 years old following my sister’s lead who was already a black belt at age 6. The skills and tools I gained empowered me to reach my goals, recognize my potential, and wield my own personal power. Not only does martial arts improve your physical health but also your emotional health. Methods and techniques like the fear extinguisher, cool down, and polite greeting teach kids how to navigate through the world as they get older. Without the confidence, discipline, and resilience I was taught, I wouldn't have accomplished everything that I have so far.“

“My kids really enjoy going here to learn. Classes are thought out well to be age appropriate. Master G has good character, I like his tough but kind approach.“

“ATA changed my life ! It’s helped me grow in every possible positive way I can imagine. (2nd year student). I plan to continue with it til the day I die, and push my self to endless limits. Master Smith has saved my life in a way and has been a second father to my daughter (6 year student). I owe a great deal of growth and direction to him and the ATA program!“

“I have trained with Richard Robinson sensei for over 20 years, and have visited his dojo when I am in PA many, many times. This is a great place to learn and train in martial arts. Robinson sensei has Black Belts in multiple styles, and is a most talented instructor in Nami ryu Aiki Heiho. The folks in the dojo are great to train with. There are a handful of instructors who share decades of experience in this dojo. If you like swords, jujutsu, and samurai lore, and live in the Philly/Ft. Washington area, you want to check out the River of Life Martial Arts \\u0026 Wellness Center.“

“The instructor is very knowledgeable and highly skilled in the traditional and self defense aspect of karate. Students are very fortunate to have the instructor like this.“

“My daughters started training with Master Kremin around five years ago. When they started, i used to bring my laptop to his school, and work there while they were training. i saw some parents training with their children and people my age moving gracefully, but my whole attention was focused on the laptop and work.

Then after a few months, my daughters asked me to join, as there was no reason why other parents were training with their kids and i was not. It made me laugh of course, and i told them that i'm the most inflexible person on earth, can barely reach my knees while standing, as clumsy as possible, in my 40s... yeah, right... me doing Tang Soo Do, sure.

But they kept asking, and after a few days my wife, wisely gave me the most significant advice i've ever received. She said that in five years, our daughters will turn 16, and at that point, there will no longer be a place for a dad in their life. But if the three of us will have something so special in common, we can still maintain the close relationship we have. So i started training as a white belt adult, on a daily basis.

We worked hard together, went together through tests, tournaments, physical and mental challenges, and became a little stronger physically and mentally every day.

Almost five years of daily training have passed, with the best teacher and mentor, our master, who gave us the opportunity to give ourselves a wonderful gift. A gift which combines physical health, mental health, support, being part of a community, and maintaining a strong girls<>dad bond even after the age of 16.

Thank you, Master Kremin.“

“IF FIRST IMPRESSION IS IMPORTANT THEN I WILL TELL YOU, SENSEI AND HIS STAFF ARE PROFESSIONAL, ENGAGING AND SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR ART. MY GRANDSON WILL BE A STUDENT TO THEIRS AND HE IS VERY EXCITED TO GET STARTED AND LEARN THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. NO TV STUFF.“

“I’ve been attending pro martial fit for over a decade now. The teachers here are phenomenal and are always extremely nice.“

“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 daughter has been attending for about a month now and absolutely loves Karate!!! She loves reminding me of what to say with each move and telling me that she’s a strong ninja shark. I was very surprised at how focused all of the students are able to stay due to their young age but the instructors do a great job of keeping them entertained and focused on tasks!“

“My child has been attending the karate class at Action Karate Ardmore, PA for the past 2 years, and we've seen incredible improvements! The instructors are patient, professional, and really know how to keep the kids engaged. My child loves going to class and has grown more confident and disciplined since starting. We highly recommend Mr. Freed, Ms. Deja and The 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. MLJ has a friendly atmosphere where you can learn judo at your own pace. The instructors don't teach only techniques but also safety so you can come back for more. Join us.“

“This is an amazing wing chun School. Sifu Jasper is great, smart, so nice, and he makes you feel at home. Everyone is very nice. It is a family environment. I strongly recommend it.“

“Awesome, knowledgeable and patient instructor. Sensei D can train you very well. Highly recommended!“

“My two boys have been going to Master Taekwondo for almost a year and really enjoy training under Master Phil. Having come from another Taekwondo studio in another state, we have been very pleased with the no-nonsense approach here. This is a great place to learn and develop...while having fun. I highly recommend Master Taekwondo.“

“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.“

“It is simply wonderful. They take 80 dollars per month and every week you can attend 6 classes so you can make your kids busy .My kid enjoy the classes here. He recently got his black belt too ? . If you pay for your kid it is free for mom and dad . The instructors are really great and strict . On a whole this is the best 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 !!“
