Martial Arts Schools near Willingboro

“My 5-year old son recently started here and loves it! It has been amazing to watch him be so focused and dedicated to something, which we have never seen before (and this is not his first extracurricular activity). Sensei Santos is a great instructor. He sets high expectations for the kids for how they carry themselves and how serious they are about their craft. We truly admire that in an instructor and think that our son greatly benefits from it. In addition to being more active, the class is teaching him discipline and hard work. I would highly recommend!“

“TL;DR:Whether you just want to study martial arts, compete in tournaments, or aspire to become a professional fighter, this is the school for you.Full Review:I joined NJMA as a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu shortly after moving to New Jersey in 2019. The quality of teaching at the school is top notch. Marco continually adapts his approach to instruction, researching the most effective methods to improve your skills as fast as possible.At the school - there is no emphasis on competing or professional fighting. If that is a goal of yours, Marco will get behind you and help you get to where you want to be. There are a wide variety of skill levels and body sizes among the students. Everyone there is serious about their training, but there is still space for fun and laughter. The ability to execute techniques under “real world” stress scenarios is the golden standard. EG: Every technique taught is later tested under different levels of resistances (no resistance, some resistance, or max resistance or “live”). The result is knowing that you will eventually be able to execute the techniques can confidently rely on them outside of the gym.Lastly, I will say Marco is just a down to earth guy. He is a family man who is happy to answer serious questions from anyone (as time allows). Conversations after training have spanned the gamut of topics, both inside of martial arts and out. His wealth of knowledge and network of people is invaluable, and I am honored to be a student of his.“

“I started training with Strikezone around the summer of July 2023 to learn MMA. This has been the best decision and investment I have ever made for my health and happiness. Derek, and his team has been very supportive since day one. I remember my first day, Derek have provided me the fundamentals and guided me through with every step. Even with the other coaches, they will never leave by yourself and will work with you regardless if you’re new or not.A huge shoutout to Derek and his team for the ongoing support and embracing empathy. Not many people show this kind of support. But Strikezone is the place where you’ll feel welcomed, supported, and get a great work out.Overall, I highly recommend Strikezone and you will not be disappointed.“

“I registered my kids for karate for them to gain confidence, discipline and learn defensive tactics. I since then joined and enjoy doing this with my children as a family. The instructors are amazing and very good at what at they do. They have events and fun things to do for the families in addition to the karate curriculum. I would highly recommend! #AKP“

“Action Karate has been instrumental in my children's development in both confidence and self-esteem. Having to work through both physical and mental challenges has provided immeasurable benefits to their lives. My son is working towards his senior black belt and has always enjoyed the challenges and next level goals that Action has provided.“

“The coaches here are amazing! They are very patient with kids and passionate about teaching Karate. They provide positive reinforcement to their students.“

“Hello, my name is William O’Brien. This Saturday I will be testing for my black belt at Kraus Karate. My journey with karate started four years ago. I am nine years old now. My mom signed me up after my brother was born to help me get my energy out and learn how to control myself. I kept getting a little wild at school. I have learned and achieved so many things with the help of karate. For example, karate has improved my confidence, coordination, and balance. When I first started, I couldn’t even jump rope. Now I can jump rope, balance myself, do push-ups and lift my mom up! I have met some great friends and people through the sport. There hasn’t been a single lesson I have learned through karate that I haven’t liked. Through karate, I was taught how to accept criticism and self-reflect. I gained the skill of how to set goals and achieve them. This is something I did not learn in school. It has helped me achieve other goals in my life and school. This year I won student of the month for the first time and was so proud of myself! Karate gave me patience, as a result I was able to grow out my hair for two years. and donate it to cancer. Lastly and one of the most important aspects of my karate group, I have a great instructor! Mr. Kraus has taught so much about myself and karate. Karate is a great time and has helped shape me into the person I am today!“

“My two sons have been attending Amerikick Marlton for over a year now. At Amerikick, they’ve learned discipline, confidence, and the importance of a strong work ethic, all traits that will serve them well both on and off the mat. It’s a very supportive atmosphere, and there’s a real sense of community here. All of the Sensei’s and staff are attentive, dedicated, and inspiring, especially Sensei Axyl, who’s the heart and soul of this place— and his Beginner Tricks class is the bomb! In addition to karate classes, there are lots of great events throughout the year, including tournaments, board-breaking, monthly themed fun nights like “Nerf Wars”, and holiday events, as well as summer camp. If you’re on the fence, consider this the swift kick you needed (pun intended) to check out a class today!“

“My husband and son have been going here for a few years now. I love the experiences my son gets. He has learned so much and his confidence has been greatly boosted. The instructors are caring but firm and run a great class.“

“My teenager niece attends this karate class almost every day, and she absolutely loves it! The instructors are fantastic, creating a positive and supportive atmosphere. Structured lessons accommodate various skill levels. It's a great place for both beginners and experienced participants. Highly recommend this karate class for a fulfilling experience! ??“

“5 stars! My son has had a great experience at Westampton Martial Arts over the past few years! The staff members are friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Classes are engaging and give students something to look forward to each week! I can’t wait to see what my son will learn next!“

“Our child has been going here for over 2 years, and they wouldn't go anywhere else. Sensei Charles has been an amazing instructor and personal influence on them. They always come home happier than they went, and always want to teach us parents any new skills. It's clear from they way they go about this "teaching" that Sensei Charles is a role model of a kind, clear, and supportive teacher. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.“

“I can't say enough how great CHMA is! My 7 year-old son joined almost 3 months ago and he's loves it. He's engaged, focused and most importantly, he is having fun! Master Joe and his instructors are patient and knowledgeable.I'm looking forward to see my son's journey with CHMA and where it takes him. Keep it up CHMA!!“

“We are so blessed to have such a quality karate facility close to us. They are trustworthy instructors who know their art. Its Korean martial arts owned and done by by english speakers (counting down and some other words are in Korean). I love the discipline they are required here. You can tell the kids love and respect the instructor especially how they follow and listen to him.“

“My 13-year old son started at Action Karate Feasterville 6 years ago. Martial arts has been great for him in many ways - it's great physical activity, teaches discipline and respect, and helps him focus. The instructors at AK Feasterville really push the students to do their best, but they also care very deeply about the kids. It's been so nice for my son to feel both challenged and supported. About 2.5 years ago, he achieved his junior black belt. This was a huge achievement that he worked very hard for. Now, he is about to test for his black belt, and plans to keep training after that. We have already recommended AK to friends, and I would continue to do so!“

“I have been going here for about two weeks now and it's the best decision I've made. The members are great and have a strong team culture going. They also work hard it will get you to shed some pounds. This is definitely the best gym in the area worth commenting too.“

“My children and I have been going since 2016. This was a particularly hard time for our family and with the direction of Sensei Alexander and Joshu Bob Smith. They gave my son and daughter focus and direction. For me they have helped me with my weight loss journey.“

“I have been taking my son to Ryan Wagners Achievement Unlocked since 2019. Master Ryan pushes his students to do their best while being positive, kind, caring and attentive. I have noticed a great change in my son. He has become more open minded, confident, and learned to socialize better in person which has become harder these days with technology. My son always leaves class with a more positive attitude. Miss Debbie at the front desk is a doll! She always greets every single student and parent with a smile on her face. I highly recommend.“

“This facility and location is clean, friendly, and not overly packed, but has well attended classes. I just took my second class with Amy and she is an amazing instructor. Her cues and motivation are perfectly timed and executed. I actually live a mile away from another location, but drive the 25 minutes to this class so that I can take Amy Tynons classes! She teaches every Monday at 6:30 p.m. and you should absolutely check out her classes, especially if you like a challenge. The owners are welcoming and seem to run a great location.“

“I was able to train here twice as a visitor, and I can't recommend the gym enough! The classes are very well structured and instructors have always got an eye on everyone to ensure that everyone is learning well and is safe. I enjoyed the attention to detail and coach Peach's straightforward approach. When sparring with the kickboxing and Muay Thai people I felt that everyone adjusted to my level.The mats are really nice too, and there is also a small dedicated warm up are and even a cage.So overall I had a great experience!“
