Martial Arts Schools near Newtown Square

“I started at Elite to learn practical self-defense before traveling for a new job. What I didn’t expect was to pick up skills that could save my life from day 1, be welcomed by a team of some of the greatest men and women I have ever met, become stronger both physically and mentally, and discover a new version of myself. The training offered here is one of a kind! All instructors and students are dedicated. The facility is operated at a high standard for health and safety. Yet somehow maintains the most laid-back environment! No matter what your starting point or reason for coming, you will not regret training here.“

“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!!“

“I started one-on-one training in Muay Thai with Malik Kamara at Delco MMA & Fitness 2 months ago at the time of this post and I'm very pleased with my progress.<br><br>Malik possesses all the coaching qualities that amateurs and professionals alike need in order to achieve their goals. He is highly professional, yet personable, and brings many years of knowledge and experience, both as a fighter and a coach. When you train with him, you have confidence that you are guided by someone who stays current on MMA best practices and who trains with a progressive mindset, which ensures that you are always up to date on the latest and greatest techniques. Each training session is lean, with minimal downtime and with consistent introduction of new topics, yet there is enough flexibility to request additional time to focus on areas where you would like to practice/improve.<br><br>For me, training twice per week has led to rapid weight loss as well as giving me motivation to lead a more active lifestyle outside of MMA. The result has been a significant improvement in physical, and therefore metal, health that appears to be sustainable long term.<br><br>There is a reason why Delco MMA & Fitness is rated so highly; I would venture to say that it is the best MMA gym in the area. I'm thrilled to be a part of the community and I'm looking forward to continuing my MMA journey with Malik.<br><br>(Stop reading Google reviews and take the first step! You'll be glad you did.)“

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!“

“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.“

I highly recommend Master Taekwondo.“

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.“

“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.“

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.“
