“My child absolutely loves this place! The instructors do a wonderful job keeping the kids engaged and having fun throughout the entire 40-minute class while helping them learn and improve. The facility is also very spacious, giving the kids plenty of room to move around. We highly recommend it!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing experience! My kids have learned so much—respect, focus, and self-defense. The instructors are fantastic and really care about each child.“

“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!!!!!“

“Whether you are looking to compete, learn self defense, or just get in shape, this gym will help you reach your goals. Not only do the instructors have immense martial arts experience, but they are also exceptional teachers with the intent to help you reach your individual goals.

If you are looking for a great community of people to train with, while improving yourself mentally and physically, do yourself a favor and give this gym a try.“

“My son has been coming here for 2 years now, and we all love it! The instructors are phenomenal, and in addition to karate, the kids are learning important lessons about goal-setting, standing up to bullying, and self-esteem. We’ve also hosted a birthday party here, which was a blast!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have participated at River of life for 2 years - I am a 74 year old woman and have improved my strength, balance and flexibility. My training was personalized to my abilities and my needs. I attend training 2-3 times per week and feel better after each session. Would recommend this for anyone who would like to improve muscle tone and strength and for techniques to improve safety“

“Elite TOMA is Fantastic! The instructors are skilled, supportive, and truly care about building confidence, discipline, and respect. A positive and welcoming environment, we highly recommend TOMA.“

“Instructors are great. They show great patience and are very encouraging. Definitely recommended.“

“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.“
