Martial Arts Schools near Norristown

“Training with Grand Master Giamo is a life-changing experience.

Exactly ten years ago, I transferred to Eagleville Taekwondo Academy as a thirteen-year-old 3rd Poom. Despite my genetic hypermobility, I lacked the musculature and training to kick above my waist. Master Giamo recognized my untapped potential and took me under his wing.

I am now a 5th Dan. I assist in instructing classes at Eagleville Taekwondo while continuing my mentorship under Master Giamo. His deep knowledge of Taekwondo and exceptional attention to detail have shaped me into not only a better practitioner and athlete but also a better teacher and judge. I will continue practicing Taekwondo for as long as I am physically able.“

“Awesome, knowledgeable and patient instructor. Sensei D can train you very well. Highly recommended!“

“I really enjoy learning about B.J.J. and Muay Thai at onyx gym. I have been going there for a couple of years practicing Muay Thai and I just started with B.J.J. Zach is not only a great instructor but a really great person as well. He is very patience and professional when it comes to teaching new students. It is a very welcoming atmosphere. All of his other instructors are also just as good as well. I am so glad that I incorporated these new workouts into my daily routine. Shout out to Rick (instructor) and the more experienced (black, brown and purple) students there as well, they are all very knowledgeable and are great teachers as well.
I highly recommend trying this gym out if you want to take your workouts to another level.“

“Love the process Action karate is bringing to my young shark (my son ) his learning goes beyond the physical disciplines but mentally and socially he is learning a ton.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“ATA changed my life ! It’s helped me grow in every possible positive way I can imagine. (2nd year student). I plan to continue with it til the day I die, and push my self to endless limits. Master Smith has saved my life in a way and has been a second father to my daughter (6 year student). I owe a great deal of growth and direction to him and the ATA program!“

“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.“

“I recently started coming here for Muay thai lessons. I visited a lot of other schools in the area, and have trained for a couple years before taking a break due to pregnancy. I really like this school, because everyone is very down to earth, the instructors John and Sherry are great and make you feel comfortable regardless of your fitness/skill level. Coach John also explains the technical aspects of the sport really well in a way that makes sense. Its clear they truly love the sport! I highly recommend them!“

“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!“

“Great environment for training body, mind and soul. Beyond the physical, the Nackord school is holistic and trains the mind and inner energy and resources.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super satisfied. Master Allen is a phenomenal educator. Class teaches boundaries, respect, confidence, discipline and of course he knows how to have fun while teaching them these skills. Love being apart of the Amkor Karate family.“

“We're incredibly happy with Zhang Sah. The combination of strong academics and martial arts training has been amazing for my kids. The teachers are caring, the staff is supportive, and communication with parents is great. Highly recommend!“

“A wonderful community passionate about the art. Challenging and enriching training. You should definitely experience Aikido“

If you pay for your kid it is free for mom and dad . The instructors are really great and strict . On a whole this is the best place .“
