“I have been wanting to get back into martial arts after a decade hiatus. I tried several other schools in the area but they didn’t speak to me. The students at Philadelphia Jiu-Jitsu are top notch. They are welcoming to beginners, train hard, and prioritize safety as well. Damon is a fountain of knowledge and puts blood sweat and tears into training his students and running his classes. He’s approachable, humble, and rolls with all the students. I’ve gained so much in the short few months I’ve been training here and I would highly recommend the school to anyone who wants to get into high quality and affordable training.“
“My son started at 7 yrs old attending Undisputed MMA for about 1yr maybe a little over. Kids that age sometimes want to try different things so we took a break recently to do basketball and other things. I want to give a HUGE shout out to Coach Siyon, Coach Jabree ,Coach Sheree(my apologies if name spelled incorrectly) and all other staff. They all are so patient with the kids/students and do a great job teaching the material and also being a mentor. My son struggled at times with behavior in school last year and I would share his actions with the staff. They stepped right in to speak with him on these occasions and advise what is expected of him at all times. It was so helpful for me and for my son hearing another voice besides his parents about what to do and what not to do in school. One time Coach Sheree gave him a writing assignment and till this day it remains on a wall in his bedroom on some paper so he can read it whenever needed. I must say my son's behavior had did a complete 360 towards 2nd half of school year last year and continues that way this year. Thank you Coach Siyon, Coach Jabree & Coach Sheree for all you done for Jayceon it is very much appreciated. I strongly recommend parents looking for their child to learn boxing or martial arts to give Undisputed MMA a try these staff members are amazing and great at what they do!Thank You AllJohn (Jayceon's Dad)“
“We came to Action Karate by way of their after school programs at my children’s school. The family friendly environment and consistent reinforcement of character and discipline have been wonderful. The staff is caring and knowledgeable. They provide opportunities for continued growth and they always celebrate the accomplishments of the students whether tots or adults. Not only has my son committed to the black belt process, my husband has as well! It is a wonderful community to be a part of.“
“I began practicing a little over a year and half ago with almost no previous martial arts experience. I am thankful every single day since then that I discovered Aikido. More than that I am thankful that I landed at this dojo. Aikido can seem daunting in the beginning, it is physically challenging and the techniques may not seem as straight forward as other martial arts popular in America. That is one reason people place a lot of emphasis on the community here. Everyone at this dojo wants to see you succeed no matter your age, gender, body type, level of athleticism or anything else. At the end of the day Aikido is you vs. yourself. Everyone at this dojo recognizes that they have had challenges to overcome in their training. In turn we respect the challenges other beginners will be faced with. All anyone needs to start training here is the willingness to show respect to the art, the dojo and their peers.Sensei Perna's dedication to Aikido is inspiring. He leads by example and teaches without ego. In some circles Aikido has a reputation for being performative, more art than martial. But here Sensei Perna and all the other instructors make certain that the martial art you are learning will have practical application in today's world if it were ever necessary. To that end some of the techniques have been modified over the years to fit scenarios that are more likely to occur in our time. When O Sensei developed Aikido over a 100 years ago it was an innovation at the time. I think he would be happy to see continued innovation so that Aikido can remain relevant as a martial art in today's world.“
“I registered my kids for karate for them to gain confidence, discipline and learn defensive tactics. I since then joined and enjoy doing this with my children as a family. The instructors are amazing and very good at what at they do. They have events and fun things to do for the families in addition to the karate curriculum. I would highly recommend! #AKP“
“All Sensei here really care about the students. Top notch karate training facility. My daughter goes here now, going for her first Degree black belt.“
“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.“
“Great dojo! Everyone is super nice, helpful, and very patient with new members. I love this place!“

“We are so blessed to have such a quality karate facility close to us. They are trustworthy instructors who know their art. Its Korean martial arts owned and done by by english speakers (counting down and some other words are in Korean). I love the discipline they are required here. You can tell the kids love and respect the instructor especially how they follow and listen to him.“

“Nothing but the best to say about this place and its team. I have known Jake for a longtime. He Would go out of his way for anyone. I enjoyed training with him when I was involved, and have always told people that want to get started to go there. He welcomes everyone and knows how to train at every level from beginning to advanced, keep killing it I’ll be back one day.. ??“
“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.“
“I've been coming here for women's kickboxing since 2017 and refuse to join anywhere else. Julio and Ian are wonderful instructors, and the classes are nothing short of challenging but also fun. Love it here.“
“Action Karate in Manayunk is the best place I could have found for my 5yo son. The location is convenient for us, the staff is great and super patient, and they offer ways to involve the parents with their child or children like assistant coaching. They offer workout classes during the holidays for the parents as well as holiday gatherings for everyone. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to enroll your child into karate. You will not be disappointed.“
“Gianna is an amazing instructor, everyone has been so friendly and helpful. My 4 year old is loving it so far!“
“Awesome place! My son has been coming for almost 2 years now and he loves it! The staff is great and they are all amazing with the kids!!!“
“Supportive environment with informative, skill-based classes in both Muay Thai and Strength training. The coaches are highly knowledgeable, experienced, and create an intense but friendly setting. The community is very queer-friendly too! Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in a supportive but challenging physical experience.“
“I had a fantastic experience at my son's taekwondo school. The instructors are professional, friendly, and dedicated. My child has developed discipline and confidence under their guidance. I highly recommend this school!“
