Martial Arts Schools near Lower Gwynedd

“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.“

“My son was introduced to East west Karate through his Daycare and we signed up soon after. The Whole team at Lansdale is phenomenal with each child they come across and make them feel incredibly special and proud of each accomplishment they achieve. I personally signed up for the Adult class and have enjoyed each class I have been to.“

“PPMA is a great place! n addition to martial arts they are great at talking about multiple topics (respect, bullies, importance of healthy sleep and eating, cool down methods). My daughter has so much fun every time she goes.“

“East West Karate has become an integral part of our daily lives. The incredible teachers are truly devoted to ensuring that our little ones learn, grow and mature with a passion for discipline, structure and dedication. I am honored to have entered this school with my child. From the get go we were treated like family. We highly recommend East West Karate, Sensei Joe and Sensei Mary will transform your lives into the greatest version!“

“This is one of the best places to train! I've been training Jiu jitsu here for a few years and love all the instructors. Great class structure and many to choose from: morning, afternoon and evening. I love getting my cardio in, in a safe and comfortable environment while learning a few self-defense techniques. If you're a woman and have been thinking about joining a gym, come here!! It'll be the best decision you make!“

“My kids started at Action Karate Oreland at either 3 or 4 years old. I wanted them to do an activity that teaches them the importance of discipline, respect, focus, and fitness. I have been amazed seeing their growth since joining as some can imagine keeping toddlers still for even a minute can be a challenge. I even became a member myself after months of my son asking me to join him on the mat. It's given us another thing to bond over. I've been enjoying the adult classes as it's introduced me to other wonderful people while learning moves and self defense. We work hard but also have fun and laugh. It has been a great stress relief and gives me a much needed break from work. I always feel great and more relaxed and calm after each class. I highly recommend Action Karate Oreland.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great gym with great instructors with heavy emphasis on supportive learning environment. Y“

“This is a great place to learn how to take your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. And learn how to take your limitations and exceed them. Not only that but your classmates your teachers give you that sense of family as well I would recommend this school to anybody that crosses my path“

“Action Karate Huntingdon Valley is top-notch when it comes to introducing your children (and the entire family) to karate and martial arts. In addition to developing the expected physical skills of karate, my kids are learning to focus, help others, have discipline and respect, be good listeners, and never give up. We are at Action Karate several times a week - the improvements and skills my kids are learning is quite impressive. I also have to mention all tiers of the instructors there who are world-class when it comes to karate, and also when it comes to having patients and knowing just how to address the varying personalities of all of the little kids to are taking this first step into the martial arts. 110% Recommended!“

“Master Chang is an amazing trainer. He is very attentive to development of his students. My daughter truly enjoys training at Chang Karate School.“

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

“I am amazed of how well my 4 yr old does in this class! The amount of patience and dedication the senseis have towards the kids are beyond my expectations! That explains why I don't mind having the 30+ min drive to her to her classes bc they make us feel like we part of their family! Def recommended for kids of all ages but just know your kids will leave out of there with full of confidence, respect, and structure ❤️“

“my sons first day was yesterday for his trial, he is 6 and was super nervous/cried and was scared. i thought he wasn’t gonna do it, until Mrs Dusty daughter Julianna took her time and did a one on one with him and his frown turned upside down so quick and he loved it! she definitely was AMAZING! she did so great that he asked to go back! i couldn’t be anymore happier with the service for the first day! thank you Julianna so much!“

“Instructors are great. They show great patience and are very encouraging. Definitely recommended.“

“Excellent Aikido school. If you're new to Aikido and feeling nervous, Aikido Kenkyukai is a great place to start. Since starting Aikido in 2007, I've trained in Dojos all across the country and as a result have met many Aikido teachers and schools. Kenkyukai is a seamless blend of authentic adherence to Aikido, with a light and welcoming atmosphere. At many dojos, this is like oil and vinegar - either too light hearted, or so serious you risk injury. I'm happy I started training here, and while I've taken various breaks from Aikido, am glad that I've jumped back in.“

“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 .“

“After training for 8 years at a family style MMA dojo nearby, I switched over to Bucks County Krav Maga and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. All of the instructors have years of experience training in Krav Maga, and that is the only style they teach. The instructors at the MMA place took a "weekend certification" course and call themselves Krav Maga Alliance but none of the instructors every had any formal training nor belt ranks in Krav Maga, and most of what they teach is still MMA. It takes years, not a weekend, to learn this well enough to teach it.“

“Action Karate Chalfont is a first-rate program. The environment is challenging while being very supportive; an attractive feature for both novice and experienced martial artists of any age. Having practiced martial arts for 30+ years with several organizations, I find the philosophy and methods at AKC to be the best I've encountered. Ms. Krista and Mr. Mark and the other instructors are skilled, first-rate instructors who bring the necessary experience, patience and positive focus to provide students with the best learning experience.“
