Action Karate has been a great experience for my daughter! She was very shy at first and struggled to participate in class. Thankfully, the instructors are very accommodating and gave her plenty of one on one sessions until she was ready to join the group! Now she participates with a lot of energy and she has learned a ton!
My son Benjamin (age 4) is currently enrolled in the Ninja Shark program at Action Karate Manayunk and he LOVES it. As a parent of a very energetic child who does not necessarily always listen I have found that the weekly classes he attends and the lessons taught therein have made my son more focused and respectful. The very friendly and knowledgeable instructors design weekly curriculums that center on self-discipline, focusing, active listening and many more important life skills that young children really need to learn. We are very pleased with the class size to teacher ratio within in half hour class too as the instruction Ben is receiving seems more personalized and focused on learning each new move/skill accurately. I would highly recommend Action Karate to anyone (young and old) who wants to live a healthy, active and mindful life.
Action Karate Manayunk is a wonderful place! My son is new at karate and the instructors have been very welcoming and helpful. The organization really engages the kids and encourages teamwork and group interaction. They teach a different skill every week that the kids can use throughout their daily lives. My son is developing a strong work ethic as well as learning self defense techniques. He looks forward to attending class every week. He loves the instructors and looks forward to seeing all the new friends that he has made. I’m really glad that I made the decision to sign him up with Action Karate Manayunk. They are really an awesome group!
Action Karate Nazareth has been the best thing for my son. The staff is always amazing and so kind, and make my whole family feel like we’re all family. The extra activities are so great and I love that they even involve parents to come out to the mat with the kids, it just makes for such a great bonding experience. My sons confidence has sky rocketed, he’s lost some weight and his attitude has improved tremendously. It’s truly been an investment for our whole family.
Excellent experience for my child!! Family friendly atmosphere ❤️
