It's fantastic exercise but Mr. DiPietro, Mr…read more White and the other staff command and receive respect, attention and focus; even with the young group. This respect, attention and focus is never achieved with yelling, or any type of negative energy but rather, through presence, confidence, and knowledge. Contrary to many people's ideas of Karate; it's about focus, discipline, agility, and building confidence. It's not about hitting or hurting others. The dojo is clean and they've just invested in new carpeting as well as paint. We recently held my son's birthday party at East Coast Karate Institute and two of my son's school classmates are now enrolled with the parents quite pleased with the classes. There's a very affordable trial period of roughly a month and if you're at all curious about Karate for your kid(s) or yourself, the trial period is an easy way to try it out without making an immediate financial and time commitment. I absolutely recommend East Coast Karate Institute in Newtown Square.

It really is impressive to watch the seamless switch between handling different age groups. Each class feels really appropriate for the student's level. The studio is comfortable, the environment is friendly, and our kids really do learn a lot of valuable life skills beyond hitting an opponent. There has been a huge confidence and positive attitude boost from all 3 of our kids attending classes as compared to when they first started (some needed it more). I have seen progressive improvements in other students as well. I do wish I would have had the chance to meet Master Marvil. His legacy feels like it lives on here, even though I have only seen pictures and heard stories. We will never force our kids to continue studying martial arts. They do have the choice of other activities in it's place, but all 3 continue to stay and advance through the belt levels here and hope to do so for the years to come. One day, I may have to start attending classes myself. Although, I did always want to attend a rival school so I can face my children in a competition cobra kai style, but I'll hold for now.

They've clearly earned what they have, and continue to improve.

From the owner: Building Character For A Lifetime™…read more PRO Martial Arts is about far more than kicking, punching and karate workouts. From kids to adults, from beginners to experts, from karate, to kickboxing and much more - every class at PRO Martial Arts includes a core focus on building confidence, staying safe, and developing character. PRO Martial Arts offers a cohesive blend of the best elements of traditional Korean martial arts. Incorporating elements of Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido, the system provides the opportunity to develop a potent blend of strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance, while learning effective and proven self-defense techniques in a fun and energizing environment. But what truly sets PRO Martial Arts apart from the average martial arts school are our inspiring and motivational life skills training programs for students ages 3 to 17. These innovative, exciting, and proprietary programs are the difference between PRO Martial Arts and other schools.

The cost is very reasonable and the pricing structure is designed to get you to attend more classes, rather than get you to pay for more. But most of all, great martial arts learning is about great teachers. I know because I trained for years when I was in high school, in college, and in Asia afterward.

And each training session is itself a true masterclass in confidence, empowerment and self-discipline for kids of all ages. The reason for that is the atmosphere created by Master Kremin: empowering for the individual, and well-supported by the group. Yes, my daughters have learned how to perform a punch, or how to break a board with their foot. But they've learned so much more about how to break down the barriers in other areas of life.
