Martial Arts Schools near Havertown

“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.“

“Mr. A, Gia and Matthew are phenomenal! We had a fantastic experience while with the team. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state, otherwise this would have been a long term commitment. The focus on respect, discipline, and teamwork is beyond compare. Amazed at the patience the team has and how beautifully everything is executed. We will miss them dearly and thank them for the confidence we see in our son since joining!“

“Delco MMA is a very friendly, welcoming gym that has phenomenal coaches and students. It is a great environment for people of all skill levels, ages, beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Whatever your goal may be, whether that’s getting in shape, learning to defend yourself, or just get active and meet new people, this is the place to be. It makes it a fun, enjoyable process, compared to dreading going to your average workout gym. Before I started, I was a little nervous and uncertain as to what I was getting myself into. But after I took that first class, I was immediately hooked. Everyone in the gym is friendly and supportive of each other, and we all work together as a team to collectively reach individual goals. It not only opened the door for fitness goals, and self confidence, but I met some great friends along the way. Great gym, clean, well organized, and there is always the right people to help you get where you want to be. Whether that is any of the coaches, or the occasional pros coming out for class seminars, if you are looking to level not only your fitness up, but yourself, this is the place to do so!“

“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!“

“Action karate, has tough my son a lot. He was was very nervous at first and didn't want to do it. After about 4 classes he was all in and wanted continue. He started to gain confidence in himself.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful place to build your kid's focus and confidence! My teenager has been there for 3 years and he's a quiet kid but he loves sharing his new moves with me and his grandparents and it helps us engage with him at this age. It has built his confidence at school and walking around the city. Sensei is a great role model, professional and family focused. I highly recommend Karate Kickers with no question.“

“My daughter took classes with sensei John about 15 years ago. I’ve known sensei for almost 25 years and he is kind, the learning environment is friendly yet structured, he is very knowledgeable about martial arts and has an excellent teaching style. Taking classes at martial arts hero factory your kids aren’t learning how to fight! They are learning discipline, respect, self defense and kindness. Great school, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.“

“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!“

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

“I evaluate and work with teachers for a living. While a classroom and a martial arts studio are different places, and obviously teach different content, the act of teaching and what makes an excellent teacher is universal. Master Celona is one of the best teachers I have ever encountered, inside or outside of a classroom. My two boys 12 and 10 have been attending Revolution Martial Arts for the majority of their lives. Kids go through a lot of phases, and most of the time they don’t stick with things; the number one reason they have stuck with martial arts is because of their respect and appreciation for Master Celona. He demonstrates and conveys respect and reverence for what he does while understanding that kids need to have fun too. Attending RMAI has been and will continue to be a place where my sons can strengthen mind, body, and spirit and gain real confidence and strengthen their understanding of honor and respect. Easily one of the best decisions we have ever made was enrolling them at RMAI with Master Celona.“

“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.“

“Luckily my son found this school and he loves it! Here’s him with his instructor, Michael. And he loves the class and the teachers. If you want to learn Brazilian jiu jitau. Come train at Miloki Flow!“

“I can’t say enough about how good I feel about being a student at Nackord Karate. Mr Nackord and all of the Instructors at Nackord Karate genuinely love to teach Karate and give each student individual treatment. From the very beginning I felt like I was part of the Nackord family. The school has a great sense of comradarie, which mirrors Mr. Nackord’s appreciation for his students. If you or someone you know is looking for a great Karate school or has been hesitant to go to a Karate school, please give this school a try. You will be glad you did.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I started training with Philadelphia JiuJitsu this past summer and it has been a great experience so far. Damon is extremely knowledgeable with over 30 years experience and has a great passion for teaching. What is unique about Philadelphia JiuJitsu is that it is more than a jiujitsu school as it incorporates many different martial arts. There is judo, wrestling, aikido, knife and stick fighting, and practical self-defense techniques. So you can come to a class that focuses on what you are interested in. The price is fair, the instructors are knowledgeable and whole gym is welcoming so if you are looking into learning martial arts and self defense Philadelphia jiujitsu is worth a visit“

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 .“
