Martial Arts Schools in Philadelphia

“This gyms coaches approach to jiu jitsu is a warm and welcoming one. From the moment I stepped on the mat all reservations went away. They are patient and kind and all the other members are great with newcomers as well which makes it that much more enjoyable!“

“My eight year old daughter loves Action Karate. We as parents love it too as they instill focus, determination, and discipline.“

“My son started to take karate lessons after Action came and did a demonstration at his summer camp. In just a couple of months, I can see changes in his demeanor and he's coming out of his shell. The instructors are the perfect amount of firm with him while still being caring and I appreciate all of their positive influence in my son's life.“

“Our daughter’s progress at Action Karate Manayunk has been amazing—their fitness, coordination, and stamina have all soared. Beyond that, they are gaining so much discipline and focus. The instructors are kind, dedicated, and create a truly positive environment.“

“Action karate, has tough my son a lot. He was was very nervous at first and didn't want to do it. After about 4 classes he was all in and wanted continue. He started to gain confidence in himself.“

“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.“

“The membership is $180.00 a month, it's definitely not bad if you're gonna go every day or 4 times a week. The easiest way to contact them is to text them.“

“I had the opportunity to visit Old City Aikido for a training session while on a trip to Philly from NY. It has been several years since my last visit. I found the dojo refurbished with more mat space, nicely organized, and super clean. It created a wonderful setting to train. The instruction led by Jason Perna Sensei was wonderful and inspirational with lots of personalized coaching throughout the session. The setting, instruction, and students there created a serious and fun experience. I can’t wait to visit again sometime soon! Thank you!“

“really nice and super knowledgeable coaches. they really care for your progress as a student. I especially appreciate how much effort Charlie and Kate put into creating a strong sense of community there.“

“Don’t get me started on how great this gym is. I had the privilege to do the 14 day trial here in the summer and coach Jake is so nice that he let me stay an extra 2-3 weeks after I injured my shoulder which he didn’t have to do. I never had the money to come back after but coach Jake just gave me the opportunity to be a photographer/videographer in exchange to train. I really enjoy taking photos and editing for them. All around nice facility. Amazing people training there. All the coaches are dope. I would suggest stopping by to check it out anytime. Very amazing if you’re trying to learn any Martial art. There the reason I’m gonna be wrestling this year for my senior year. Love broadstreet kickboxing ❤️???“

“Martial Arts Hero Factory is fantastic! My son absolutely loves his classes, and Sensei John is wonderful with the kids—positive, patient, and great at keeping them engaged while building confidence and discipline.

We also hosted a birthday party there for both of our sons, and it was such a great experience. Sensei John and Ms. Johanna handled everything from start to finish, making it completely stress-free for us. The kids had an amazing time, and the party was fun, organized, and seamless.

Highly recommend Martial Arts Hero Factory for both classes and birthday parties!“

“Great team, very friendly, welcomed me in for a free session when I was visiting on holiday. Thanks to all the boys for letting me join in and get a great workout!“

“All Sensei here really care about the students. Top notch karate training facility. My daughter goes here now, going for her first Degree black belt.“

“My son has been with the Little Dragons for over a year. I can clearly see his progress through challenges and learning through fun.“

“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.“

“I've been coming here for women's kickboxing since 2017 and refuse to join anywhere else. Julio and Ian are wonderful instructors, and the classes are nothing short of challenging but also fun. Love it here.“

“I started training with Philadelphia JiuJitsu this past summer and it has been a great experience so far. Damon is extremely knowledgeable with over 30 years experience and has a great passion for teaching. What is unique about Philadelphia JiuJitsu is that it is more than a jiujitsu school as it incorporates many different martial arts. There is judo, wrestling, aikido, knife and stick fighting, and practical self-defense techniques. So you can come to a class that focuses on what you are interested in. The price is fair, the instructors are knowledgeable and whole gym is welcoming so if you are looking into learning martial arts and self defense Philadelphia jiujitsu is worth a visit“

“We love the programming at the school. The martial arts component teaches discipline and focus, which is so important for our early developer.“

“I had a fantastic experience at my son's taekwondo school. The instructors are professional, friendly, and dedicated. My child has developed discipline and confidence under their guidance. I highly recommend this school!“

“Master Son is best Martial Arts we ever had! He really cares about all his students. Every class is so fun and my daughter and I both see a difference in our body and mental strength since taking Hapkido class!!!“

“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!“

“My son began learning martial arts from Mr. Bob 3 years ago. We signed up for a few trial classes at first, and in no time it was obvious that Bob Poole is the perfect blend of expert martial artist, master-teacher and kind-hearted human who isn't afraid to show his quirks. Students in Mr. Bob's dojo can't help but enjoy class, because HE is so determined to enjoy his classes. The energy is always fun, focused, and electrified by the enthusiasm and wisdom he constantly shares. He's a true "unicorn" martial arts master: Sensitive to the needs of children, Truly hilarious-while professional, and an awesome role-model with multiple black belts across a significant range of fighting arts.“

“The master, his dad, the formal student amazing n respectful, they are so welcoming, place is always clean n neat. My son luv luv luv it there.“
