Martial Arts Schools near Swarthmore

“I've been training here for over 10 years and think that the RMAI family is truly like no other. I've learned so much about karate, but I've also learned how to be a better person.“

“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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.“

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.“

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.

“I will say this all of the teachers and coaches are their for everybody and even when there hard times and bad times look there support is a hundred percent and a thousand I'm not going to say we are all perfect but then I will be lying to myself we all make mistakes in life it's the mindset to push you and say look I made a mistake and I learned from mistakes it's your mentality and spirit to show everyone not even every one it's you to figure out the math and keep on pushing through life ??❤️ focus mindset ❤️❤️❤️❤️?????????“

“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!“

“My son started attending Karate at Martial Arts of South Jersey the first of this year and we absolutely love it! 4 1/2 months in and I have already seen a wonderful change and growth in him. He does a better job listening and following instructions as well as showing respect. I feel like he has learned about setting goals, working hard, and also improved his confidence. It has also sparked a new interest in him of getting stronger and making healthy choices which I love to see. Instructor Amy is wonderful and I would recommend this program to any parent!“
