Martial Arts Schools near Westville

“If you are looking for an anchor in a stressful world, Sifu Andy Masterson’s school is the place to be. Andy has been teaching full-time since 2005, inheriting a legacy of high-level Wu Ji Jing Gong Tai Chi and traditional Kung Fu.

He understands firsthand how powerful these arts are for stress relief, mental clarity, and physical health. His classes offer a perfect escape from everyday pressures, taught by an instructor who is incredibly patient, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in his students' well-being.

Highly recommended for martial artists of all levels and anyone looking to improve their health!“

“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 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 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.“

“I first heard of Action Karate roughly around the end of August two years ago in 2023. Action Karate was introduced to me by my neighborly cousins. With a little thinking I said “sure I’ll do it, why not?” Without knowing that answer would change me both physically and mentally. I first walked into Action Karate for my first class at the back of the mat, stayed quiet and did what I was told. After I slowly climbed to orange belt I was promoted to black belt leadership and got my first red gee. I was really proud of my achievement.

Before I was just a lower belt, nothing special, but now I had no idea how much would be expected of me moving forward and upward. Stripe after Stripe I learned more than I thought I would. Not only did I learn self-defence but also how to focus, persevere, balance(physically and mentally), respect ,and many more.

As I climbed, the belts training got intense and for the first time I didn’t receive a stripe, I had never imagined that would happen. I barely passed my test in the end, but when promotion came around and didn’t get my new belt, I realised how serious and committed I should be. So now as a red belt nearing my test for black belt, I realised how much I’ve succeeded and how much I need to work on at the same time. So I have been working extremely hard along with my fellow classmates for the past few weeks to achieve my junior black belt.“

“I have 2 children training at Daniel Pope Karate and not only do they really enjoy going to class, they’re learning so much every week. It’s such a pleasure to see them expand their skills and become more and more experienced after every class. Mr Pope is a very experienced and it really shows when he trains the kids. As a parent it makes me feel great to know my kids are learning great skills that they can carry with them as they grow into adults.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“Haven’t been here long but as someone who’s trained other Martial Arts for over 2 decades I can tell there’s great fundamentals and a solid culture! Great for hobbyists as well as for those looking to take it a step further and compete.“

“For the first martial arts gym I've ever been to Broad Street kickboxing has been an amazing experience for me to come to after school for a year. I was able to get amazing instruction and advice on and off the mats from all of the great coaches there whether it in competition or things in my personal life. The community here is great and everyone is understanding and willing to work with you no matter your skill level. I'm glad that I got the chance to be apart of something so great.“

“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!“

Sandeep & Aylisha A.“

“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.“

“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 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.“
