Martial Arts Schools near Cherry Hill

“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.“

“This gyms coaches approach to jiu jitsu is a warm and welcoming one. From the moment I stepped on the mat all reservations went away. They are patient and kind and all the other members are great with newcomers as well which makes it that much more enjoyable!“

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

“This is an amazing martial arts gym for people of all backgrounds and experience levels. It's worth a visit whether you are a long time fan of MMA or if you just want a good, consistent cardio/conditioning workout.

Coaches Derek, Matt, and Chris all do a fantastic job of giving in-depth instruction and critiques during classes while being encouraging and respectful. Even in a short amount of time, I feel like I learned so much from this gym and I am much more confident in my physicality. The environment is great and everyone is extremely friendly, totally a good spot for people who have never tried a combat sport before. Not once did I feel intimidated or overwhelmed; everyone is so supportive of one another. The gym really starts to feel like family the longer you commit to it.

They also just got a new facility which is in the works right now but classes are still being run. I highly recommend dropping in for a trial if you're on the fence, you are sure to have a great time!“

“Great open mat! Everyone’s super nice! Lots of great insight into the BJJ and martial arts as a whole! Looking forward to the next one!“

“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 !!“

“We’re having such a wonderful experience with AK Cinnaminson. Every instructor is fantastic—patient, encouraging, and truly skilled at working with children. They create a positive, structured environment where kids feel supported while also being challenged to grow.

My son absolutely loves coming to class, and it’s been amazing to see his confidence, focus, and enthusiasm continue to build. We’re so grateful to have found a place that not only teaches karate, but also understands how to connect with and motivate kids. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent gym for all ages. My son and I have trained here for boxing and MMA. Very professional and skilled.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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.

“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!“

“Don’t get me started on how great this gym is. I had the privilege to do the 14 day trial here in the summer and coach Jake is so nice that he let me stay an extra 2-3 weeks after I injured my shoulder which he didn’t have to do. I never had the money to come back after but coach Jake just gave me the opportunity to be a photographer/videographer in exchange to train. I really enjoy taking photos and editing for them. All around nice facility. Amazing people training there. All the coaches are dope. I would suggest stopping by to check it out anytime. Very amazing if you’re trying to learn any Martial art. There the reason I’m gonna be wrestling this year for my senior year. Love broadstreet kickboxing ❤️???“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent!!!!! Instructors are very patient and professional!!!
Highly recommended for all ages!!!!“

“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.“

“So proud of my husband baby you are doing an awesome job with the school and the children at the school keep up the good work they love you and so do I aways.“

“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!“

“Master Son is best Martial Arts we ever had! He really cares about all his students. Every class is so fun and my daughter and I both see a difference in our body and mental strength since taking Hapkido class!!!“

“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.“

“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 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.“
