The staff sits down with you and asks questions about what you would like see your child get out of the class besides just karate (ie increased self confidence) which I think is great. The entire staff is amazing and are great with all of the students. I would recommend this establishment for anyone who wants their child to get some exercise, have fun while doing!!

It has been a positive experience for both and the homework for character stripe and leadership stars reinforces what is taught in class. For my now 9-year-old, the anti-bullying techniques are very helpful. Her pitching coach has even commented on how her focus has improved since last summer. I was so impressed that I also started classes and the adult team is just as welcoming as the kids' team. It had been a long time since I did any regular exercise, but they work with you at your level. Being on the mat with all skill levels really drives you to push yourself. My energy and cardio levels are really improved, I've lost weight and am eating better too. The instructors are awesome and truly encourage everyone to reach their full potential. I recommend this for both kids and adults.

I am grateful to share this experience with my teenage daughter - she enjoys it as much as I do and we both feel more capable of defending ourselves effectively should the need arise. Highly recommend!

Our daughter, Evelyn, would come to karate classes with us to watch her brother take his Karate…read moreclass. Action Karate had a "Siblings Week" where siblings of students already enrolled in karate, could take a class with them for a week. Evelyn was hesitant, but wanted to give it a try. At first Evelyn was shy and reserved but grew to love going to class as well as making new friends. Evelyn became fast friends with Nadia and Natalie, who were currently taking classes and wanted to join them. After "siblings week" we enrolled Evelyn in karate class and each day, Evelyn would come up to me saying she wanted to quit, that it was too hard. We would sit her down and explain that everything is not easy, there will always be times where something is hard and you cannot quit because it is hard. As time has gone by, Evelyn was gaining more and more confidence in herself and would raise her hand each class to lead the class in the beginning creed. Evelyn's voice became louder and louder and her strength and determination grew each day forward. Evelyn would progress form white belt, to yellow belt to orange belt, etc. and would develop more and more confidence. Evelyn worked hard during a summer HITT class where she would take the class for a few weeks learning more and more skills in order to earn two belts at the next promotion night. By doing this, Evelyn was on pace to earn her Black Belt at the same time as her mom, because now they were the same belt color and would promote together. Evelyn has developed a nurturing and caring demeanor that she shares with her classmates as well as working with the younger Ninja Shark classes. Evelyn is normally tasked with working with the newer students to help them learn the ropes of class. When you take a class for the first time, you are very nervous and do not want to leave your parent's side. Evelyn learned, by taking karate, a nice approach to help these students have fun and learn during their first class. Additionally, Evelyn has enrolled in Action Karate's sparring class and is learning self defense, which is always good for female students. Evelyn worked so hard that during her first Action Karate tournament, where she enrolled in the sparring competition, she earned a 3rd place trophy. Evelyn even earned a 2nd place trophy and a 3rd place trophy in her kata and combination moves during the same tournament. I cannot tell you the level of joy that you could see on Evelyn's face after that tournament and it is all owed to the fantastic instructors at Action Karate, that gave her the tools she needed to compete at the highest level. Now that Evelyn is working towards her Jr. Black Belt which is this December 2019, she is motivated to excel. At the beginning, Evelyn was very upset at the training she needed to endure in order to prepare her for the Black Belt Test. Since Evelyn has been training, she has lost a few needed pounds and has mastered her push-ups that would make an adult jealous. Evelyn has made many new friends and works hard with her brother and her mother at home to master each move. We, as parents, could not be more proud of Evelyn for where she has come over these past 3 years. If you or your child(ren) are looking for an activity to join either for fun or for exercising purposes, please look no further than Action Karate. The workouts you get during a 45-50 minute class are better than you would get by going to the gym. The wealth of knowledge each instructor has as well as the family atmosphere at Action Karate cannot be beat. I would recommend everyone to give it a try.

The instructors at AK Feasterville really push the students to do their best, but they also care very deeply about the kids. It's been so nice for my son to feel both challenged and supported. About 2.5 years ago, he achieved his junior black belt. This was a huge achievement that he worked very hard for. Now, he is about to test for his black belt, and plans to keep training after that. We have already recommended AK to friends, and I would continue to do so!
