Martial Arts Schools near Dresher

“We absolutely love this martial arts school! My kids didn’t enjoy another place we tried before, but here they’re excited for every single class, even after a few months.
The mix of training and character building is amazing. Master Zohar connects with the kids and talks about discipline, resilience, and making good choices, which really carries over into home and school. The classes are very engaging—kids are encouraged to answer questions, participate, and demonstrate different moves, which keeps them involved and builds confidence.
They also have a great reward system that keeps kids motivated to work on positive habits at home and school, and they get recognized and rewarded during class, which my kids really enjoy.
One of my kids is on the spectrum, and we were initially a bit worried, but the instructors have been incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding. It’s made such a difference.
Another big plus is the flexibility and convenience. The schedule is very accommodating, and their app makes it super easy to sign up for classes and check in, making the whole process really seamless for busy families.
We’re so happy we found this place and highly recommend it!“

“My son is 8 years old and started a couple weeks ago! I love it here and appreciate how welcoming Action Karate is to my family and I! So excited for this new beginning“

“Action Karate Mainline has be great for my daughter! It keeps her disciplined and motivated. Great instructors as well!!“

“Sky Taekwondo has been an amazing experience for my children. Not only are they learning solid self-defense and Taekwondo skills, but Master Terry and his team go far beyond that. They teach discipline, respect, focus, and the right way to conduct themselves in everyday life. I’ve seen a clear positive change in my child’s confidence and overall personality since joining.
Highly recommend Sky Taekwondo to any parent looking for a well-rounded martial arts program with truly dedicated instructors!“

“Greta school for kids to start down a traditional martial arts path. The instructors are really great with kids.“

“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.“

“We enrolled our daughter at Action Karate Mt. Airy to help her have more confidence, learn self-discipline, and perseverance. It has been a little over a year now since she started and I cannot express how great of a decision we made picking this school. She has grown leaps and bounds physically, mentally and morally training with Sensei Dom and the other instructors. The staff has always been friendly and informative; showing they care and love what they do; efficiently working as a team to ensure everyone gets personal attention while achieving their goals. Honestly, if they had 10 stars, I would still want to put 11. Try this karate school and watch your child flourish!!!“

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

“My son started taking classes at Action Karate in January of 2023. The metamorphosis that we have observed has been nothing short of magnificent. He began as a less than confident boy who remained on the periphery of most situations, and over the past two and a half years, has blossomed into a confident, charismatic, and principled pre-teen with an incredible awareness of his body and mind. He has truly learned the meaning of GRIT. The instruction he has received from this dojo was exactly what he needed to become his best self. The teachers are amazing! There is an excellent balance of compassion and consideration paired with consistency and steadiness of expectations to try your personal best. Now in the midst of working towards his black belt, now more than ever, is he embracing the hard work that is needed to achieve such a great accomplishment with as much support as he needs from the Action Karate Family. This experience will truly change the trajectory of his life!“

“My son Jayden has been attending martial arts classes for the past 6 months, and the transformation in him has been amazing. He has become more confident, focused, and disciplined both inside and outside of class. The instructors are patient, supportive, and truly care about each student’s growth and development. They create a positive environment where kids feel encouraged and motivated to do their best. I highly recommend this martial arts school to any parent looking to build confidence, respect, and focus in their child. Thank you for making such a difference Jayden life..“

“Tiger Schulmann’s is an amazing school whether you want to learn martial arts for self defense, to compete as a professional fighter, to attain your fitness goals or all of the above. My experiences here have been nothing but positive. I highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to become the best version of themselves and/or for their children, other family members or friends.“

“My mom first got me into Action Karate when I was 11, she knew I loved karate.
On my first day I didn’t want to talk to anyone, I was scared, but after seeing how nice the people were, I eventually warmed up. In all the time I've been at Action Karate, the people there are kind to me, I made friends along the way and still meeting new people. Action Karate helped me prepare for tournament which built up my confidence. Without them I wouldn’t have been able to perform well or even show up. Now I'm a red belt and I have so many people encouraging and helping me prepare for Black belt test. Action Karate really made me a more confident person.“

“My son Declan has been training at Action Karate Chalfont since he was 3 years old. Karate has helped his confidence, respect, and leadership skills. He has really come a long way with his confidence. I remember his first karate tournament - we couldn't get him out on the mat. Now he is comfortable performing in front of big crowds. We feel like family at Action Karate. He is now testing for his Black Belt and we couldn't be more proud.“

“Ever since my 7 year old daughter started, from the very first meeting all the way to her first class i’ve been a really great experience for both of us!!! It’s nice to see the sensei’s and coaches engage with her in activities and actually teach her proper techniques. I’m so glad that we decided to sign Zoe up for East West Karate! I couldn’t be happier with this facility and Zoe is so excited to be there and learn and participate! They are AMAZING!!!! 5 Stars all the way!!!!!“

“Amazing Staff! Great instruction! Incredibly clean facility! Sensei Joe and Sensei Mary make everyone feel like family !“

“My 8 year old daughter Riley has been going to EWK Jamison for over 3 years. It has done wonders for her confidence and shyness. She is part of their mastery program and is on the demo team. We cannot say enough nice things.“

“All three of the sensei's are great with a lot of experience and really friendly !“

“My two boys have been going to Master Taekwondo for almost a year and really enjoy training under Master Phil. Having come from another Taekwondo studio in another state, we have been very pleased with the no-nonsense approach here. This is a great place to learn and develop...while having fun. I highly recommend Master Taekwondo.“

“My son has been a part of Miloki for almost 3 years. It was the most engaging and productive engagement for a sport activity for him/ He loved Miloki and his wonderful coaches Dave and Mike!“

“Our experience here has been absolutely incredible. Since joining, we’ve seen such a positive change not only in martial arts skills, but in confidence, self-esteem, discipline, and respect. Master Smith creates a family environment that is supportive, encouraging, and structured, helping both my boys (ages 4 &6) feel capable and proud of themselves and their progress.“

“Are you looking for a great Martial Arts program for your child?
Would you like them to learn Respect, Confidence, Discipline as well as new Friendships?
This Dojo is Knowledgeable, Fun and very Patient with the kids.
Please check out Extreme Karate & Fitness in Rockledge, Pa. We have personally photographed this Dojo for many years and have watched the students grow into wonderful teens and adults. Also a great Dojo for adults too!“

“Always great to drop in at Sion. Instructor is top notch, rolls are chill, and the mats are clean. Hard to beat.“

“We transferred to Action Karate Plymouth Meeting when we moved from out of state. They are a family run dojo and did an amazing job of acclimating our student and allowed him to utilize the belt level he was currently at to start.

We love that all of their katas are taught in practical terms of self defense. They also discuss value lessons weekly, where they go over characteristics of leadership, gratitude, goal setting, (we especially love that students are required to set goals so they can see progress). After a year here, our son is also now learning how to become a sensi (teach).

They also host some really fun parties: like water wars to celebrate the end of summer, glow in the dark board breaking, etc. They also have get-togethers for the adults. And they have summer camps and parents’ night outs. So everyone really gets a chance to get to know each other.

I cannot thank them enough for how they are helping our son to grow as a person and how welcome we always feel. They feel like part of our family.“

“IF FIRST IMPRESSION IS IMPORTANT THEN I WILL TELL YOU, SENSEI AND HIS STAFF ARE PROFESSIONAL, ENGAGING AND SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR ART. MY GRANDSON WILL BE A STUDENT TO THEIRS AND HE IS VERY EXCITED TO GET STARTED AND LEARN THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. NO TV STUFF.“

“Our 11 granddaughter has been a student of Master Chang for 4 years. She has gained skills both mentally and physically all under Master Chang's guidance and mentorship. Respect, promptness, attentiveness, strength, flexibility and confidence are just a few of the attributes every parent wants a child to attain. We highly recommend Chang Karate school as a serious contender to commercialized franchises.“

“I absolutely love this karate place for my child. They make your kid feel so special to help build them up. High fives and compliments all around. Staff is friendly and work with a flexible mom schedule. My kid was bullied in kindergarten and they helped rebuild a confident little girl. Now she is 8 and has her own defense and confidence. I highly recommend! And affordable compared to some others.“
