Martial Arts Schools near Swarthmore

“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.“

“Delco MMA is a very friendly, welcoming gym that has phenomenal coaches and students. It is a great environment for people of all skill levels, ages, beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Whatever your goal may be, whether that’s getting in shape, learning to defend yourself, or just get active and meet new people, this is the place to be. It makes it a fun, enjoyable process, compared to dreading going to your average workout gym. Before I started, I was a little nervous and uncertain as to what I was getting myself into. But after I took that first class, I was immediately hooked. Everyone in the gym is friendly and supportive of each other, and we all work together as a team to collectively reach individual goals. It not only opened the door for fitness goals, and self confidence, but I met some great friends along the way. Great gym, clean, well organized, and there is always the right people to help you get where you want to be. Whether that is any of the coaches, or the occasional pros coming out for class seminars, if you are looking to level not only your fitness up, but yourself, this is the place to do so!“

“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.“

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.

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!“

“Wonderful place to build your kid's focus and confidence! My teenager has been there for 3 years and he's a quiet kid but he loves sharing his new moves with me and his grandparents and it helps us engage with him at this age. It has built his confidence at school and walking around the city. Sensei is a great role model, professional and family focused. I highly recommend Karate Kickers with no question.“

“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.“

“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.“

We will miss them dearly and thank them for the confidence we see in our son since joining!“

“My son started attending Karate at Martial Arts of South Jersey the first of this year and we absolutely love it! 4 1/2 months in and I have already seen a wonderful change and growth in him. He does a better job listening and following instructions as well as showing respect. I feel like he has learned about setting goals, working hard, and also improved his confidence. It has also sparked a new interest in him of getting stronger and making healthy choices which I love to see. Instructor Amy is wonderful and I would recommend this program to any parent!“
