“Best of the best is exactly that, the BEST! My son loves it, and has been going there for a few years now, and has learned so much. The teachers are top notch, and the owner is hands on. Overall very awesome vibe, and professional atmosphere.“

“Sensai Irene was very thorough and courteous. We signed our son up for the trial period and we're hoping he sticks with it after our local studio closed last month. Only downside is the classes are shorter than we're used to. They're only 35 minutes long, but we'll see what happens. Too early to tell if he'll stick with it, but it seemed like a great environment so far.“

“My son, age 6, started karate a few months ago. We love it! Action Karate focuses on critical thinking, compassion, and being healthy through movement, structure and discipline. My son has shown vast improvement in focusing and listening. He adores all of his instructors and has fun! It is a very welcoming and inclusive community for everyone. We are so happy we chose to join!“

“Action karate is awesome ! Instructors are top tier! What you learn at action karate doesn’t just make you better on the mat but a better person for the world. Action karate is a blessing !!“

“My daughter attends karate classes here, and it has been a wonderful experience for her. The instructors are patient and kind when communicating with the kids. If they notice a child struggling, they come over to offer one-on-one guidance. They instill positivity, self-love, and strength, not only in karate but also in other areas of life, encouraging the children to always choose themselves, be honorable, control their emotions, stay focused, and respect their parents. I have seen a tremendous change in my daughter's self-esteem. She truly enjoys karate, even though she is very girly.“

“I’ve been training here for 8 years, and the people are all amazing! I really enjoy my time here training. If you’ve been thinking about trying a martial art, you’ll be happy you found this place.“

“Budo has Friendly, skilled Coaches who genuinely care about student development and they have programs that teach discipline, self-defense.“

AmeriKick – Marlton, NJ
230 N Maple Ave, Marlton, NJ 08053

Some people come into your life and leave a mark.
Nicole E. is one of those people.

David and I joined AmeriKick during a January $99 special, not knowing that we were about to find something that would genuinely change our lives. From the very first class, Nicole made us feel welcomed, motivated, and completely at home. She isn’t just an incredible trainer — she is an incredible human being.

Nicole has a rare combination of warmth, professionalism, and pure inspiration. She believes in you before you fully believe in yourself, and somehow she gets you to dig deeper than you ever thought possible. Her classes push you physically, but they also lift you emotionally. You leave exhausted, proud, and feeling stronger — not just in your body, but in your confidence.

What amazes us most is how Nicole connects with everyone. Kids, teens, adults — it doesn’t matter your age or ability. She has a way of making every single person feel seen, valued, and capable of more. Her energy is contagious, her encouragement is genuine, and her passion is unmatched.

Along with the other amazing instructors at AmeriKick, Nicole sets the tone. She inspires, she leads, and she makes this place feel special. We are beyond grateful and incredibly blessed to have found AmeriKick and to have crossed paths with Nicole.

Nicole — David and I will see you on the mat. Always.

— Linda & David

“You can tell Master Ju knows people. After all the classes I have attended I found all the students leaving with smiles on their faces. More importantly, their skills much improved.“

“We had an amazing experience at Brnich Karate Studio with our Girl Scout troop! The instructors were patient, engaging, and made the session fun while teaching valuable skills. Highly recommend!“

“Martial Arts Hero Factory is fantastic! My son absolutely loves his classes, and Sensei John is wonderful with the kids—positive, patient, and great at keeping them engaged while building confidence and discipline.

We also hosted a birthday party there for both of our sons, and it was such a great experience. Sensei John and Ms. Johanna handled everything from start to finish, making it completely stress-free for us. The kids had an amazing time, and the party was fun, organized, and seamless.

Highly recommend Martial Arts Hero Factory for both classes and birthday parties!“

“Attended a seminar here. A really nice gym! The facilities were clean, everyone was welcoming and friendly, and the instruction was great. The owner was really nice and super passionate about Jiu Jitsu. Definitely a gym to check out if you are in the South Jersey area.“

“Place with tons of respect. Instructors are friendly and happy to share knowledge, great place to work out, learn to fight, and participate in a great tradition that teaches discipline“

“100% recommend. Dropped in to bjj last night as I was in town for work and had a free night. Welcoming staff and team. Teaching was approachable for new and experienced grapplers. Love the variety of Beacon. Check it out!“

“I've been coming here for over 10 years and they're like family to me. On so many levels, I am a completely different person than when I walked through that door the first time, wish I started sooner! It's not an exaggeration to say that they have changed my life for the better.“

“All Star Karate has been an incredible experience for our family. Mrs. Racheal is a true mentor to every student, especially my child. Her patience, encouragement, and unique teaching style make a noticeable impact. The kids are learning confidence, discipline, and how to make positive choices—skills that go far beyond the mat.

Everyone is always included, and the class structure is absolutely pristine. It’s an enjoyable and welcoming environment for both students and parents. We couldn’t be happier with our experience here and highly recommend All Star Karate to anyone looking for a supportive and professional program.“

“Hasset’s jiu jitsu Is a fantastic school. My son loves it and he’s learning so much and even just the first few weeks. It makes me want to join myself. The coaches are wonderful and very patient. It’s such a pleasure to watch my son. Learn the great art“

“My son has been with the Little Dragons for over a year. I can clearly see his progress through challenges and learning through fun.“

“I recommend this dojo to everyone. Especially those looking for a challenge. Sensei Heimlich does a fantastic job bringing his expertise and knowledge for everyone to learn. My 8-year-old looks forward to class every night.“

“My son began at the age of five, in 2014, and he was like a different kid. His behavior and discipline, especially in kindergarten, greatly improved. Master Kim is wonderful with the Little Tigers - encouraging, yet tough! My son is now a junior in highschool and in all honors courses. His discipline and confidence is off the charts.“

“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“

“We absolutely love Karate Unlimited. Since enrolling our son about a year ago we have had a perfect experience. Master Bridget and her helpers (there are a handful - Sam and Drew to name a few) are truly the best. So friendly, helpful, always happy to be there. Additionally, the facility is so clean and well maintained. We are so happy we found Karate Unlimited.“

“Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Very patient and thorough while they are teaching. My 5 year old son loves it!!! I was really nervous on who to choose but I am so thankful we chose Yi’s Karate.“

“I have trained here for several years. The best place to learn true, traditional, Japanese Karate. Sensei Ray Owens is the best! He is extremely knowledgeable and strives to develop all of his students to their best potential while promoting a feeling of family among all of his students. A true blessing to find this Dojo. Check it Out! Ciao!!!“

“Went to my first group lesson today and felt comfortable and very welcomed! You can tell Andy is passionate about what he does and wants the best for his students-- taking the time to break down each movement and really making sure you understand exactly why it's done and how it works and helps your body! I can't wait to learn more and grow with this amazing art form! I'll be sure to update later as I go along!“

“My son has been attending classes here for several years now, and I can't praise the instructors enough. They are kind and will push you to be your best. Love them!!“

“Great place for kids to learn karate. They learn discipline, self defense and confidence! A few of the instructors are school teachers. There are several Master instructors. My son has been with Yi's for 5 years now and wow, what a difference he is from 5 years ago. I highly recommend Yi's Karate of Berlin.“
