just now NEW Great experience women's self defense class with sensei Rob and his staff. Thank you for doing this for The community read more

I just started my 2nd daughters classes and within just 4-5 classes she is showing signs of discipline we haven't seen in her yet. We know it's early but we couldn't be happier so far. This is a really big deal for us. Sensei and team skillfully have been able to nudge her into the right direction. We look forward to her continued growth. read more

My daughter and I attended their Women's Self Defense class and had an awesome time. Sensei Rob and his team did an excellent job showing us practical and effective movements that could be used to protect us in unwanted situations. Highly recommend them if you are looking for a martial arts class. read more

They will be nice and sweet at the beginning and will tell you it's a month to month subscription without commitments and or a long term contract...This is false!!! If you want to discontinue the membership they won't leave you alone.... First they will charge your credit card without your permission... Second, they will bombard you with tons of calls, emails and texts!! When I decided to discontinue my son's membership, Rob Sensei was trying to intimidate me and scare me, even threatening me to come to his office, give him my credit card info and pay for the month that my son did not attend, and ... I hated his language and I refused to meet him. If I want to end my son's subscription, I can! He cannot intimidate me or tell me what to do. I'm not one of his students or employees!!....he said that cancellation must be 30 days in advance which he did not mention in the beginning ... if you wanna end the membership of your kid they will bug you every second and storm you with emails texts and calls and won't leave you alone and won't let you go...i paid a full month subscription for the month that my son never attend to help the place because after i showed him that i'm not doing what he wants me to do he acted as a street beggar saying that they are a small businesses and relaying on tuition money to keep moving! Bob sensi you should find another way to keep your place up and running other than intimidating or begging!! Even after I paid them a one month subscription that my son did not attend, the following month they sent me a new invoice for the new month and when I was about to f them up they stopped this ps. By the way, when my son started there we gave Bob sensi a unique sport's figure that cost $$. He should have returned it to us though!! read more

We did a women's self defense class for my sorority and it was amazing! Sensei Rob and his family and volunteers were so fun and well versed in the topic. We learned so much and all left feeling very empowered. Highly recommend this studio!! read more

He looks forward to his twice weekly class and is eager to practice at home. I would highly recommend LEMA to any family :) read more

My daughter left another dojo to come here. Martial Arts classes are offered every day, the staff is friendly, no testing fees, no contracts, involved with the community...my list can go on. Highly recommend. read more

I've had a good experience with our daughter here. The instructors have been professional and extremely helpful when we had questions. The facility is clean and I've observed on numerous occasions that they clean/vacuum throughout the week. My daughter has shown more confidence and enjoys her weekly instruction. I am amazed about how far she has come in 2.5 months. Martial Arts requires commitment. If your not able to attend class at least two nights a week this may not be for you. read more

Very friendly staff, great environment, and family friendly!!! My kids love going there to learn karate. They have been going there for over a year! Schedule works well. LEMA is also dedicated to giving back to the community. I highly recommend Leading Edge Martial Arts!!!!!! read more

Sensei Rob and his team are wonderful with the students. They teach many life lessons while instructing the students in martial arts. They insist on students learning how to focus and be respectful and "coachable" while also allowing them to have fun. read more

Amazing staff!! My son has been taking classes for more than 2 years and continues to be motivated. He has gained confidence and self discipline, as well as made some great friends! The adult cage fitness classes are also wonderful...amazing instructors!!

From the first time I came to watch my grandson until I decided to renew my own study of martial arts after 30 plus years, I found no better place to train and learn. Sensei Rob and his staff are wonderful with children making martial arts fun for them as well as a learning experience. Likewise, they are fantastic teachers for the adults. COME KICK WITH US!!! read more

I'm really impressed with the LEMA experience! The instructors are fabulous and really care about each student. My kids have learned so much about self-defense and have grown in confidence. I can't say enough good things about this school!! read more

Sensei Rob and the team are excellent with the students. Rob is fair but firm with the kids and he is well respected by them.

Good for kids, they are very understanding with them, and the month to month contract is a fair way of doing this.

We love Leading Edge Martial Arts-Allentown!It is the best thing that has happened to our kids and one of the best decisions we could have made for them. We researched/visited several different martial arts schools and from the first time we went to LEMA our kids loved the staff and the classes. Our son was very shy and kept to himself and our daughter was the complete opposite! LEMA not only teaches them self defense and discipline, but also core values that we all would want our kids to have. They have both benefitted and improved by going to LEMA. Our son is now more outgoing and both kids are much more disciplined. Sensei Rob and the entire staff not only care about their students, they care about their families as well. Great facility, awesome staff and flexible schedule. They have something for every age group and every individual. We look forward to our kids growing up with the LEMA family! read more
