“Zach’s the man, he was one of my main training partners from white to black and is one of the man people who made me the Jiu Jitsu fighter I am today.“

“I started at Elite to learn practical self-defense before traveling for a new job. What I didn’t expect was to pick up skills that could save my life from day 1, be welcomed by a team of some of the greatest men and women I have ever met, become stronger both physically and mentally, and discover a new version of myself. The training offered here is one of a kind! All instructors and students are dedicated. The facility is operated at a high standard for health and safety. Yet somehow maintains the most laid-back environment! No matter what your starting point or reason for coming, you will not regret training here.“

“Great MMA & Fitness gym. My son and his friend had a beginners class just to see how they felt about it and they fell in love. Great way to help your kid learn how to protect themselves if need be is a great skill to have throughout life.“

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

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

“Master P’s World Class Tae Kwon Do is truly an exceptional place for children to grow and develop essential life skills. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping each student succeed—not only in martial arts, but in life. Master P and his team consistently go above and beyond to nurture qualities like focus, perseverance, a strong work ethic, and overall discipline in our children.“

“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.“

“My son started Karate Kickers 7 months ago and we have truly enjoyed watching his growth throughout this journey. His instructor, Sensei Gerald, is very polite, professional, and does an amazing job teaching the kids discipline, respect, and confidence. When my son first started, he was very quiet and shy, but I’ve seen such a positive change in him. He has become more confident and comfortable. It means so much as a parent to see him grow not only in karate, but also as a person. One of my favorite moments was hearing him say during Thanksgiving dinner that he was thankful for karate. That really showed me how much of an impact this program has had on him. We are grateful for Sensei Gerald and the Karate Kickers family!“

“Outstanding Karate School – Highly Recommended!

I can’t say enough great things about this karate institution! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a clear passion for martial arts. Master Kremin is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and motivating – he strikes the perfect balance between discipline and encouragement. If you’re looking for a place to learn authentic karate in a supportive and professional setting, this is it. Five stars all the way!“

“This is a clean, welcoming, and well-run karate school that truly cares about its students. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to watch children progress from white belts all the way to black belts, and it's been impressive to see the growth in their skills, confidence, and discipline.

What stands out most is that the instructors focus on much more than martial arts techniques. They emphasize respect, perseverance, responsibility, and character development, helping students become well-rounded young adults both on and off the mat.

The facility is clean, organized, and creates a positive learning environment for students of all ages. If you're looking for a karate school that teaches life lessons along with martial arts, I highly recommend giving this place a try.“

“A big thank you to Dragon Martial Arts Yong Moo Do Kwan for sponsoring the Garnet Valley High School Robotics Team. We appreciate your support in helping our team learn and grow! Now it's time to kick the competition!“

“I evaluate and work with teachers for a living. While a classroom and a martial arts studio are different places, and obviously teach different content, the act of teaching and what makes an excellent teacher is universal. Master Celona is one of the best teachers I have ever encountered, inside or outside of a classroom. My two boys 12 and 10 have been attending Revolution Martial Arts for the majority of their lives. Kids go through a lot of phases, and most of the time they don’t stick with things; the number one reason they have stuck with martial arts is because of their respect and appreciation for Master Celona. He demonstrates and conveys respect and reverence for what he does while understanding that kids need to have fun too. Attending RMAI has been and will continue to be a place where my sons can strengthen mind, body, and spirit and gain real confidence and strengthen their understanding of honor and respect. Easily one of the best decisions we have ever made was enrolling them at RMAI with Master Celona.“

“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!“

“Under the owner’s leadership. They are attentive and respectful to every student. A great place for a teenager to stay physically active.“

“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.“

“Simply the best. The staff is absolutely amazing. So patient with the kids. Try out the free class and give it a try. I know you'll fall in love just like we did.“

“Best place around, very authentic boxing gym. Great atmosphere. All coaches there have pro-cards. I train here a few days a week. Love being pushed to work hard. Live sparring is my favorite part. Definitely recommend coming here it you want to learn the sport of boxing.“

“A judo dojo where a 63-year old is welcomed and feels healthier than ever after 6 months of training must be something special. MLJ has a friendly atmosphere where you can learn judo at your own pace. The instructors don't teach only techniques but also safety so you can come back for more. Join us.“

“The instructor is very knowledgeable and highly skilled in the traditional and self defense aspect of karate. Students are very fortunate to have the instructor like this.“

“We haven't been attending for some time, but Cheng's Martial Arts is the Best! Master Cheng cares and is solid in his instructional formats. I would easily encourage all to attend Cheng's Martial Arts. They value quality over anything else. We plan to return as time and circumstances permit.
Sandeep & Aylisha A.“

“Mr. A, Gia and Matthew are phenomenal! We had a fantastic experience while with the team. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state, otherwise this would have been a long term commitment. The focus on respect, discipline, and teamwork is beyond compare. Amazed at the patience the team has and how beautifully everything is executed. We will miss them dearly and thank them for the confidence we see in our son since joining!“

“My son has been a part of Tiny Tigers for the past two years. We love the instructors. The studio is clean and the people are warm and friendly. I highly recommend this school.“
