The owner makes sure his members are well taken care of from day 1. Thank you Derek and the Strikezone team for making me feel like I can accomplish my goals.“

My son was having some behavioral problems and we have seen big improvements. The class teaches him structure, listening and discipline. He became more confident. Plus he has a lot of fun.“

“Action Karate Cinnaminson has become a second family to us! We are building confidence and self esteem with every class!!“

“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.“

“My son was about to give up on karate until we found Action Karate Huntingdon Valley.
From his first visit, he was welcomed and wanted. Expectations were made clear and goals were set at his first full class.
Now, two years since joining, he attends his class as well as participates in the Leadership Team assisting younger students.
Action Karate Huntingdon Valley is not a belt factory. Students earn their ranks through hard work and dedication.
We would highly recommend AKHV for your student.“

“While in town for a wedding a friend told me I had to check out Ricardo’s gym. From the start you could tell it was an exceptional room full of absolute studs. Atmosphere was great, instruction was excellent and it was hands down my favorite gym I’ve visited in travel. I’d recommend this gym to anyone and I will be returning. 10/10 .“

“AmeriKick has been amazing for my child! I cannot recommend them enough. All the Sensei's are wonderful and the community of kids supporting each other is really impressive. The physical and mental benefits of karate have also extended outside of the karate school.“

“When we first signed up for karate, our main goal was for our son to work on strengthening his core. As a former Nic-U preemie, this had been a struggle for him. PT at school had helped some, but we needed more than just that. Master Liciaga greeted us with his friendly, energetic presence and offered to introduce my son to karate. The first one-on-one lesson followed by two trial classes had us hooked. Master Liciaga encourages all students while challenging them to push themselves to be more than thought they could be.

It was not easy, but the instructors patiently guided my son. Repeated movements allowed him to refine his techniques while working on things such as balance at the same time. Master Magill has this magic power that allows him to know what students need as individuals as well. He addresses those individual needs throughout each karate class. Sometimes it’s fine-tuning technique, other times it’s confidence, while still other times it’s understanding complicated moves. He gets to know each student and makes them feel seen. While success in karate isn’t always linear, Master Magill’s guidance given along the way during times of my son’s frustration was essential to success. His persistence paid off as my son who loves karate has recently earned his black belt.

Yes, Master Liciaga and Master Magill are the heart of Dinoto Karate. The other instructors have learned from the best and connect so well with students. They laugh with them as they teach. They work with students as young as three up through adults. No matter your age or your current ability, they will help you grow. They prepare students for tournaments and build confidence. Karate can be hard work, but Dinoto Karate knows having a good time is vital as well. The summer of fun with spirit days and interesting challenges keep things lighter. They offer parents’ nights out, participate in community events and host buddy days and open houses.

The sense of community at this school makes it feel more like family. Parents feel as welcome as the students. The investment in the lives of the students outside of karate allows them to feel more valued. The sense of belonging shows as students help each other in class, as they lead with confidence, and as they grow together. I would 1000% recommend that anyone considering karate come to Dinoto Karate Center at Route 38 and Ark Road to find the place that will become a way of life. You won’t regret it!“

“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!“

“Thank you to Sir and his staff for the amazing three years of karate. We have seen a huge improvement in our child’s strength, coordination, along with confidence. It was a sad moment for our departure, but we are wishing you all of the best!“

“(Translated by Google) Hi, I just wanted to ask if you speak Spanish because my daughter speaks Spanish and she doesn't know English(Original)Hola sólo quería preguntar si es que hablan español porque mi hija habla español y ella no sabe inglés“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“
