Martial Arts Schools in Philadelphia

“My eight year old daughter loves Action Karate. We as parents love it too as they instill focus, determination, and discipline.“

“My son started to take karate lessons after Action came and did a demonstration at his summer camp. In just a couple of months, I can see changes in his demeanor and he's coming out of his shell. The instructors are the perfect amount of firm with him while still being caring and I appreciate all of their positive influence in my son's life.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Anyon and his team were so nice to train together. I would like to train again when I visit Philadelphia.“

“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!!!“

“The membership is $180.00 a month, it's definitely not bad if you're gonna go every day or 4 times a week. The easiest way to contact them is to text them.“

“My 3 children are registered there! They really like the classes and the instructors are very competent and professional.
The children learn quickly and very well! Thank you to the whole team for the fantastic work you do!

“I had the opportunity to visit Old City Aikido for a training session while on a trip to Philly from NY. It has been several years since my last visit. I found the dojo refurbished with more mat space, nicely organized, and super clean. It created a wonderful setting to train. The instruction led by Jason Perna Sensei was wonderful and inspirational with lots of personalized coaching throughout the session. The setting, instruction, and students there created a serious and fun experience. I can’t wait to visit again sometime soon! Thank you!“

“It has been a great opportunity to introduce this to my child. This has been helping my child with focus and discipline. I love the way the staff cares about their students. And the effort they put into each and every children. Self defense is such an important skill to have esp when they're young and facing bullying at school. I would recommend this to any parents.“

“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.“

“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“

“My son began learning martial arts from Mr. Bob 3 years ago. We signed up for a few trial classes at first, and in no time it was obvious that Bob Poole is the perfect blend of expert martial artist, master-teacher and kind-hearted human who isn't afraid to show his quirks. Students in Mr. Bob's dojo can't help but enjoy class, because HE is so determined to enjoy his classes. The energy is always fun, focused, and electrified by the enthusiasm and wisdom he constantly shares. He's a true "unicorn" martial arts master: Sensitive to the needs of children, Truly hilarious-while professional, and an awesome role-model with multiple black belts across a significant range of fighting arts.“
