My bonus son started coming here for about maybe 2months give or take and all four of us parents have notice such a AMAZING difference in him. His confidence level is at an all time high! He used be very sheltered and quiet and now he even raises his hand to show the rest of the class a combo or move and then they all practice for a bit after! He was just promoted to Yellow belt and he has been so ecstatic he is practicing his exercises every day and getting so much better! the place is decent size with parking. Clean and NEVER smells! very nice look forward to taking him every week I know he does too. Mr. Williams is extremely funny and relates to the kids. There are some black belts in that help the adult instructors with the class, which is great. Ms. Felicia who I think maybe the owner she is also great she seriously knows every child by name and always greats you with a smile!

Excellent facility and instruction. As an adult practicing for the first time, I found all…read moreinstructors to be patient and kind. The students are also welcoming and kind. No negativity in the dogo and respect is evident! IF you have doubts about starting Martial Arts as an adult, just do it. At Action Karate in Parkwood, you will get the encouragement, support and proper training needed to gain confidence and strength. It is a nice community of people from the administrative to the instructors to the students! This is the third Martial Arts dogo that I tried. After one lesson, I knew that this was a fun, safe place to learn and practice!

Around 9 months currently, with my son advancing to yellow, then orange and now purple. The format of the white-red kids class: Bow in Mention of life skill they are focusing on (confidence, leadership, etc) Quick warmup Learn or review a specific skill or self defense skill Story that relates to the life skill of the week ( Kata practice (everyone is learning a nunchuck kata which is really cool to see). Sometimes this is only for the advanced/black belt leadership students but they nunchucks for everyone recently. Announcements Bow out The class moves quickly which is great for my son, it keeps him really engaged. Some other classes we tried had a really long warm up which was hard for him to engage in. Also, Action has at least two instructors on the Zoom if not more. If the class is hybrid (online and in person) there are instructors in studio who demonstrate for both the zoom and in class students. There are also a set of instructors that are remote and focus on the Zoom students. For the zoom students they will spotlight different kids so that the instructors can give comments and also give the kids some confidence (my son tries his best when he's spotlighted!). Action seems to also be tweaking this recipe based on feedback, I think separating the remote students from the in person so each group has more focus from the instructors. The focus on life skills like motivation, confidence, helping your family, etc is really great for kids, it's a nice well rounded approach and also breaks up the time into different chunks. We are in California, so the timing is a bit difficult since the classes range from 1pm pacific to 335 pacific pacific depending on the weekday. Our current remote school schedule ends synchronous instruction around 2pm so we are currently able to attend 3 classes a week. My son really enjoys Action Karate and I've seen good changes in him over the past 9 months

On behalf (and as an extension) of the Ramsdell Family, I have to give Mr. Brenner and Mr. McQuade…read morethe biggest high five and Bao Quan. As a fellow educator, I'm not whistling Dixie when I say these gents are the real deal. They mastered a huge class of kiddos (seemed to be about 40-50 wee ones), all of whom were rapt with attention and respect. They knew each individual student, addressed them by name, and paired them well for exercises. They obviously had a clear lesson plan going into the class, and executed it seamlessly. Each student was motivated to work diligently for their own advancement, and you could tell that they all wanted to make their instructors proud. They also nailed the more intimate adult class that followed, with the help of one super awesome playlist of tunes. They are also both very personable gents. Mr. Brenner came up to me the moment he saw me. He was welcoming, made direct eye contact, offered a firm hand shake, and was sincere. Mr. McQuade is cool, calm, and collected. Friendly chap. And both even made the time to come to my niece's show that afternoon. Lastly, I was blessed to witness a Belt Ceremony, which happened to be for a rather shy student. Mr. McQuade was nurturing and encouraging as he helped the young man recite their motto, and everyone - students and parents alike - ushered the lad into his White Belt stage in supportive, celebratory cheering. It really doesn't get better than this welcoming, warm, encouraging school offering quality education and self-discipline. Any age and body type are welcome, without judgment. Sign up now!

Our son has been attending Stages Furlong Campus for about 2 years. We are beyond satisfied and…read morethrilled with this place! It is not your typical "daycare"-children learn from a young age while having fun and enjoying it!

Our son attends school with a smile everyday looking forward to the fun curriculum teachers instruct in his classes.

The owner is fantastic with the kids as are his teachers. First and foremost they teach respect. I have tried my son in other recreational activities and this is the first one he has stuck with. If you live in the old bridge area i highly recomend this gym. Even if you are older if they are this good with the kids it must be really great for older kids or adults. My son says yes sir. Or no maam, helps his younger brother and is nonwhere as near as hyperactive as he once was since we train when at home when there are no classes. Go there and speak with Master Yoon or Mr. Curly they are the teachers. They are doing a special where you can try it out. Its 3 private classes for 20 dollars. And they give you a uniform and belt.

They worked with my son to stand up for himself if anyone tries to overpower him with not so friendly intentions. I have seen Sensei Justin kneel down to talk to younger kids and make them comfortable. If any kid is not in mood to go inside for the class they usually come out, talk to the kid, make them comfortable to step in and give importance to that kid to make them feel included. We are excited to be in Youth program. My son was nervous and almost did not want to transition to the Youth classes and in his first class there were no known faces but without even informing the sensei and their helper kids made it very smooth for these younger ninja's to enjoy the experience.
