“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!“

“Sensei Al, Kate and Tyler are the best. They do an awesome job with the kids and adults alike. Highly recommend“

“The main instructor and some of his assistants are a pleasure. However, it's overpriced for what is going on. If you just want your kid to do an activity and don't mind not being frugal with your money definitely sign your kid up. ? There's plenty of Karate entities in the area though. Choose wisely.“

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

“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!“

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

“Sensei Alexander has been training with Tiger Schulmann’s for the majority of his life. He is a true embodiment of Tiger Schulmann’s and the curriculum. The guy is disciplined in the both the way he teaches and the way he trains. Sensei Alexander is a tried and tested Pro MMA fighter, BJJ competitor, and kickboxing fighter! Needless to say Sensei is an incredible instructor at both kids and adults skill levels. I truly believe Tiger Schulmann’s and Sensei have the best kids program out there, and you can see it first hand in the kids that Sensei Alexander has taught for 5-15 years now, that are ridiculously good and are successfully competing (and winning) now as Adults. This school specifically is a huge family, and is for anyone from any walk of life. There are people that come in cause they want to get in shape, and there are people that come in because they want to compete at the highest levels eventually. Sensei Alexander has tons of experience teaching both! If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about you, the art in general, and getting the best out of you then Sensei is for you. If you’re looking for a welcoming school, open to all skill levels, full of amazing people, in a fun, safe learning atmosphere, give the place a try, you won’t regret it! ?“

“High recommend Broad Street Kickboxing. I was visiting for work and they welcomed me with open arms and imparted lot of knowledge the short time I was there. I travel across the country and Broad Street is a premier martial arts gym. The community is great and the instructors are top notch. Part of what sets Broad Street apart from other gyms is that many of the people you learn from are actively fighters themselves. Not only that but they care about making sure you get an engaging and instructive class while still making you feel like family. I can’t wait to go back. And good luck to everyone with fights coming up!“

“I was introduced to Action Karate Oreland when a friend invited me to a “Bring a Friend for Free” class. At first, I attended simply because I was invited and wanted to spend time with my friend. I didn’t think karate was for me as I am a 60-year-old woman and not in the best shape. But the center quickly won me over with its incredible staff, supportive students, and thoughtful approach to training.

It isn’t easy, and I’m far from perfect in my execution or strength, but with every defense I master, my self-confidence soars. Since joining in May 2025, I’ve progressed from a beginner white belt to a yellow belt and will soon be testing for my orange belt. Every day, I choose to be a black belt—and it has been one of the best choices I’ve ever made.“

“Haven’t been here long but as someone who’s trained other Martial Arts for over 2 decades I can tell there’s great fundamentals and a solid culture! Great for hobbyists as well as for those looking to take it a step further and compete.“

“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..“

“I absolutely love the lessons of how to step into your personal power! My 2 kids are very different in nature and each are going confidence and self discipline in their own way from Master Zohars teachings !!“

“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!“

“While in town for a wedding a friend told me I had to check out Ricardo’s gym. From the start you could tell it was an exceptional room full of absolute studs. Atmosphere was great, instruction was excellent and it was hands down my favorite gym I’ve visited in travel. I’d recommend this gym to anyone and I will be returning. 10/10 .“

“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 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’re having such a wonderful experience with AK Cinnaminson. Every instructor is fantastic—patient, encouraging, and truly skilled at working with children. They create a positive, structured environment where kids feel supported while also being challenged to grow.

My son absolutely loves coming to class, and it’s been amazing to see his confidence, focus, and enthusiasm continue to build. We’re so grateful to have found a place that not only teaches karate, but also understands how to connect with and motivate kids. Highly recommend!“

“I first heard of Action Karate roughly around the end of August two years ago in 2023. Action Karate was introduced to me by my neighborly cousins. With a little thinking I said “sure I’ll do it, why not?” Without knowing that answer would change me both physically and mentally. I first walked into Action Karate for my first class at the back of the mat, stayed quiet and did what I was told. After I slowly climbed to orange belt I was promoted to black belt leadership and got my first red gee. I was really proud of my achievement.

Before I was just a lower belt, nothing special, but now I had no idea how much would be expected of me moving forward and upward. Stripe after Stripe I learned more than I thought I would. Not only did I learn self-defence but also how to focus, persevere, balance(physically and mentally), respect ,and many more.

As I climbed, the belts training got intense and for the first time I didn’t receive a stripe, I had never imagined that would happen. I barely passed my test in the end, but when promotion came around and didn’t get my new belt, I realised how serious and committed I should be. So now as a red belt nearing my test for black belt, I realised how much I’ve succeeded and how much I need to work on at the same time. So I have been working extremely hard along with my fellow classmates for the past few weeks to achieve my junior black belt.“

“Great open mat! Everyone’s super nice! Lots of great insight into the BJJ and martial arts as a whole! Looking forward to the next one!“

“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 is a great place!! Instructors are ALL awesome with the kids whether they are just starting out or have been training for a while!!! It has been a great experience so far!!!“

“This is an amazing martial arts gym for people of all backgrounds and experience levels. It's worth a visit whether you are a long time fan of MMA or if you just want a good, consistent cardio/conditioning workout.

Coaches Derek, Matt, and Chris all do a fantastic job of giving in-depth instruction and critiques during classes while being encouraging and respectful. Even in a short amount of time, I feel like I learned so much from this gym and I am much more confident in my physicality. The environment is great and everyone is extremely friendly, totally a good spot for people who have never tried a combat sport before. Not once did I feel intimidated or overwhelmed; everyone is so supportive of one another. The gym really starts to feel like family the longer you commit to it.

They also just got a new facility which is in the works right now but classes are still being run. I highly recommend dropping in for a trial if you're on the fence, you are sure to have a great time!“

“The best decision I could have made was enrolling my son at Action Karate Parkwood. He absolutely loves it. The teachers are wonderful. My son was having some behavioral problems and we have seen big improvements. The class teaches him structure, listening and discipline. He became more confident. Plus he has a lot of fun.“

“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.“
