Ms.Nicole & Mr.Rylie are absolutely incredible! My 3 year old daughter is so excited every day that she has class and looks forward to seeing them as well as her peers! She’s learned so many incredible things in such a short time I can’t wait to see how much more she learns as she gets better!! 🩷
My son has been attending Action Karate for about a month now and absolutely loves it! Miss Nicole and Mr Riley are excellent Sensei’s because they are always so encouraging and motivating. They have amazing patience teaching the kids the different movements and holding them accountable to remember the black belt creed and using manners. Thank you both for your dedication to my son and to all of Action Karate!
My daughter joined Action Karate Doylestown a few weeks ago and I we love it! She's enjoying every bit of it, smiling throughout her classes, and is having fun while learning about self discipline and defense!
Mr. Riley and Ms. Nicole are wonderful instructors. They’re very nice and make the classes fun while also getting a good workout. I do the adult class and enjoy everyone I workout with. I really enjoy learning self defense skills.
ABSOLUTELY ACTION KARATE in Doylestown! (313 & Ferry Rd.) What an AWESOME Experience, the staff is incredible... Ms. NIcole, Mr. Rylie & Mr. Grey are fantastic! Watching the growth of confidence, and control in a fun, safe and inclusive environment is incredible. Personally, it's nice to see my son interact with kids (real kids...not on a screen) I LOVE IT ❤️. COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE!
Absolutely love it here! My son has been doing so good since he started and loves the instructors. Definitely recommend coming here!
Our experience with Action Karate Doylestown has far exceeded our expectations. Miss Nicole and Mr Riley are amazing. My son loves class and has learned so much in such a short time. I have already seen the training physically, but also in the confidence and the way my son behaves in school and at home. The lessons go far beyond the mat. ASAH!
Action Karate is fantastic! Miss Nicole and Mr. Riley are great with kids. Both of my children (and I) have been taking classes since March (and July) and I can see improvements in their confidence and physical abilities. The motivating energy and encouraging atmosphere make it a wonderful place for young martial artists. The instructors are not only great with kids, but also incredibly flexible always adapting to fit each child’s needs. Highly recommended!
Miss Nicole and Mr. Riley are amazing at what they do! They really engage the children and give one on one feedback which is extremely helpful! Also they will stop and make sure your child understands the form before they move on. It is not just martial arts they are really encouraging a state of mind for life and planting seeds that will continue to grow into adulthood! I love that they gave real life scenarios on getting out of grabs it’s not just punching and kicking (which has its place).
Highly recommend! Mr. Riley and Miss. Nicole make all the kiddos work together and take responsibility. My child is special needs and I really appreciate that not only did they help with repetition and guidence but they make the classes fun too. The outside activities is very nice. I really like that they have season words for kids to remember and actually implement into their daily life. They have a brief circle time that relates to life. High Five!
My son just started here the end of may he can not wait to go to karate and has gained so much. They make you feel like family here and really take the time to get to know everyone.
Our daughter is having a great experience at Action Karate. The staff is attentive, engaging, professional, and most importantly they are teaching her important life skills.
5-Stars! Action Karate is fantastic & for everyone, young & old. I esp. like how Miss Nicole & Mr. Riley are excellent instructors & make class fun & understandable. They explain the reasons behind each self-defense movement so it makes sense & you can remember better. They teach it so well that Anyone can do it! You don't need prior experience nor to be in any athletic condition to do this class. And you will learn how to be in better condition & more aware of your environment, for your own safety & well-being. Well worth it. I highly recommend this Karate group!
Highly recommend! Mr. Riley and Ms. Nicole have been amazing to our daughter who can be shy and struggle a bit with confidence. They help her navigate any tough moments, and working through those moments in such an intentional way has already had a huge impact on her. Though the class is structured and routine, they are able to give each child personal attention, which is extremely beneficial. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and can't wait to see how Action Karate continues to challenge and positively impact our daughter!
I cannot say enough about the caring staff at Action Karate, Doylestown. Mr. Riley and Miss Nicole handle all behaviors with great concern and a “never quit” attitude. They are always approachable and upbeat, and always keep in contact. Highly recommend!!
There are not enough words I can about Ms. Nicole and the Action Karate team in Doylestown. I have seen such growth in my two children since they have started the program. They learn teamwork, self-control, and confidence! The excitement they have when told they are going to karate and the pride when they learn something new is awesome. My deepest gratitude to her and the whole team! I cannot wait to see what growth my children experience as they continue their journey.
We have been coming to Action Karate Doylestown since December 2023. I have to say that I have seen tremendous improvement in him. This location is a great, we love our instructors of Ms. Nicole, Mr. Riley and the entire leadership team. They truly care about your child and always make the class engaging and supportive for my son. I truly appreciate the skills that are taught and how helpful everyone is to ensure all the kids are paying attention and following along. The instructors are very helpful if a child is struggling. There is a lot more class availability that they offer. They teach kids about discipline, teamwork, grit, and so much more. It’s amazing to see how far my son has come and truly appreciate the dedication that the team offers for each child. I can say so much more positive things about Action Karate but I don’t want to ruin the fun and excitement for you. ;) We really love Action Karate and recommend it to everyone.
We have a good experience going to this place . I wanted my son to improve his focusing skills which was our goal when enrolling him in the class. Initially he did not have much interest but the way classes are designed they are exciting for smallKids and help them focus in the class ! Mr Riley and Miss Nicole do a great job coaching kids ! I see a lot of change in my son and there is more to go ! He looks forward to going to classes which is a very important achievement for us
Our 5 year old son has been enrolled in the NINJA SHARKS for about 4 months and he goes to class about 5 days a week for 30 minutes. He has ADHD and ASD and struggles with self-control, emotional regulation, impulse control, hyperactivity and social boundaries to name just a few. We previously had him in organized sports classes, like basketball but it was not a good fit for him. We were told Karate could be therapeutic so he participated in a trial class with Action Karate through his preschool. He was very excited to tell us about what he learned in his first week's exposure and he was motivated to participate. That is one thing that stood out for us and what made Action Karate a perfect fit for our son. Mr Riley and Ms Nicole not only keep all the kids engaged and in motion, they make the martial arts' philosophies of mental readiness, discipline and personal development a priority in every single class all while creating a fun energizing environment for the little ones. They have patience to deal with kids when they are having a hard time following directions or listening and have a lot of extra helpers in each class that keep everyone on point and in line. It is structured and routine and it works for those kids that need it! There are also multiple opportunities to socialize with the Action Karate community through mom's nights, dad's nights, races and more.
Our 10 year old son has had an amazing experience at Action Karate with Ms. Nicole and her team. The teachers pay attention to the students strengths and are so encouraging while also holding high expectations. The physical aspect of her program is strong and fun with character building mixed in to create the complete package. This is the perfect program if you are looking for an alternative team environment for your child to learn to set goals, build confidence and challenge himself. We are so grateful we found Ms. Nicole and her studio.
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This particular action karate establishment goes above and beyond with extras and they focus on core foundational skills such as how to be adaptable and to move with confidence. My children are 3 and 6 and have grown tremendously since joining. They have shown improved discipline on self control and being able to sit still when needed. They are also showing great confidence in how they interact with others since taking karate. The extras I mentioned earlier include: random friendly positive enforcement post cards we have received, optional classes for mom and dads to join in with their kids. This particular location is amazing and the atmosphere is great!
I have attended self defense classes at Action Karate Doylestown for one year. I took advantage of Moms free in May after my grandson won a free class. My daughter and I watched our grandson and we both decided to take a class. I was hooked after the first class.I never did much sports in school but I thoroughly love the experience and exercise.The staff is wonderful and Ms Nicole and Mr Riley offer great encouragement and feedback. I have learned so much in this past year!I look forward to each class and in addition to learning the defenses, I feel stronger and have lost the weight that I needed and with Ms Nicole’s formidable enthusiasm for success, I have more confidence. As a grandmother too, I can keep up with my grandchildren which is wonderful. The classes are fun and the mantra “ Knowledge in the mind, Honesty in the heart and Strength in the body” are truly words to live by.ASAH!!
Action karate is a wonderful place for students to learn self-confidence, focus, attention and determination. The staff has a strong understanding of child development and age appropriate skills as well as effective ways to encourage focus. My son adores his teachers and is always excited to go to karate.
My son has been attending the dojo for over a year and has progressed to an orange belt. Both Ms. Nicole and Mr. Riley are exceptional instructors. They are firm but fair, creating a wonderful and supportive environment for learning karate. They emphasize the values of hard work, active listening, and respect, which have been instrumental in my son's development.My child has ADD, and the discipline and structure of karate have helped him tremendously in managing it. Ms Nicole and Mr Riley have a genuine passion for teaching.I highly recommend this dojo to anyone, regardless of age, who wants to learn karate. The community here is welcoming and inclusive, and the instruction is top-notch. Joining this dojo has been a fantastic experience for my son, and I am confident it will be for others as well.
My son have been in the Action karate Doylestown for few months now. And he really loved going to class. He's born just before Covid, he's bilingual and also learning arabic and french. And super shy. Ms Nicole and Mr Railey have been very helpful and encouraging for him to talk. And special thanks to Ms Pauline and Ms Allison for their patience with him ❤
I decided to take a class at Action Karate in Doylestown on a whim as I missed group fitness classes post-COVID and I had a background in Tae Kwon Do. I always wanted to get back into martial arts so decided to try out this dojo. Ms. Nicole and Mr. Riley were so welcoming from our initial email correspondence to when I walked in the door. I immediately realized I found a supportive community in the instructors, as well as the other students in the adult class. Although the classes are mixed belt levels and ages, the workout challenges meet you where you are as they always offer various difficulty levels. And I love the focus on self-defense so you can walk out the door feeling stronger and more confident and capable than when you walked in. It’s hard to find community as an adult, so I’m really glad I found AK. A lot of families join AK together, but I still feel welcome attending by myself as a 30-something woman. I even participated in a tournament and just passed my first belt test! I’m in it for the long haul now!
Action Karate has truly been a game-changer for my family and me. The environment and location are fantastic, making every session a joy to attend. The instructors are not only dedicated but also embody discipline and grace in their teaching. Since my daughter started here, her progress has been remarkable. Personally, it's reignited my passion for martial arts, and the added bonus of the Black Belt parenting book has been invaluable. Highly recommend this school for anyone seeking not just martial arts skills but also a holistic approach to personal development.
So impressed with Miss Nicole and Mr. Riley! They are dedicated to the growth of their students and encourage positive reinforcement of focus and self-control. The work they do with their students to foster an inclusive, fun, and welcoming environment is perfect for anyone looking to start karate. We didn't know what to expect, as this was a new venture for us, but I am so incredibly happy to be a part of Action Karate Doylestown. Miss Nicole and Mr. Riley offer an incredible team, and Action Karate Doylestown is a supportive environment for anyone looking to join!
Action Karate Doylestown is an outstanding martial arts academy! My son has been attending classes here, and I couldn't be more impressed. The instructors not only teach discipline but also make the classes incredibly fun. I appreciate the personalized attention each child receives, ensuring they progress at their own pace. Highly recommend for anyone looking to instill confidence and discipline in their child while having a blast!
Five stars is the max, but I would give double if I could.We’ve allowed our two kids to enroll in programs and classes that they are drawn to, rather than trying to shoehorn them into our interests, or force them into a commitment for an activity they didn’t ask for in the first place.A bit over a year ago, our (then) 8 year old son expressed interest in karate, and through a circuitous series of events, we landed in AK Doylestown. At first, we loved it because he loved it. Very quickly we noticed changes in his behavior; where before he started he tended to be distracted by all the world has to offer, but was now able to lock in and focus.Miss Nicole made him feel so welcome, seen, and valued. It may be trite to say about a business that they make you feel like family, but it’s absolutely true here. And not just because Miss Nicole’s original teaching assistant was her own son!Soon my wife and I started taking classes (trust me when I tell you, it was very.out of character for the two of us…) It has been transformative for our whole family. We communicate better, we laugh more, and personally, I am in the best physical condition of the last twenty years.As word has spread, more and more families have been coming to AK Doylestown, and just like with my family, you’ll see mom or dad watching their kid train, and a few days later you’ll be learning self defense with that same parent out on the mat. The dojo’s growth hasn’t diluted the product one bit, if anything, it’s better when shared with more people. Mr. Riley is the newest addition to the training staff. He stands approximately 9 feet 7 inches, but never intimidates his students.Again, at the risk of sounding corny, Action Karate Doylestown has been an incredible blessing to our family and our community. Come check it out, you’ll be glad you did!
Ms. Nicole & Mr. Riley are amazing instructors and our daughter loves going here. Asah!
We started our 3-year-old in classes at Action Karate Doylestown back in December, and it was the best decision! We weren't sure he was old enough yet, but the confidence and focus he has developed in the past few months has been amazing! It has been awesome to watch him grow, and to see how much passion he has developed for Karate! Ms. Nicole & Mr. Riley, along with their leadership team have been nothing but encouraging and supportive with our kiddo! Highly recommend starting them early!
My daughter loves Action Karate of Doylestown. The lead instructors, Nicole and Riley, do an excellent job of instilling discipline and confidence in the kids. The classes are fun and also provide the kids positive habits and valuable information for every day life. I would recommend this Karate studio to everyone.
If you are an adult or have kids, it doesn't matter - this is for you. You sit all day at work and need motivation to work out, it's for you. You don't like gym environments, it's for you. You like having a community, it's for you. You like solitude, it's for you. You have kids and don't have time for yourself, it's for you. You have kids, it's for you.Our son started karate here 9 months ago and the difference in his attitude, confidence, habits, behaviors is enormous. Let's be real, kids don't come with a manual. They say it takes a village, but our village is non existent on a day to day basis, particularly if you are working parents. We found our village and our manual at AK. Miss Nicole and Mr. Riley are phenomenal in getting everyone inspired. They teach kids every single day about what really matters in life. Every month focuses on something different. Our son asks us to do "10 minute tidy" because Miss. Nicole and Mr. Riley ingrained it in them in such a fun and thoughtful manner that it resonates every day with him. Whenever he can't focus, we need to say "natural stance" and that becomes his reset. If he gets angry, he just sits and takes deep breaths. Now seriously, how many 5 year olds can do all this?! Even adults struggle with it!Our son inspired us to try it out too. I don't exercise because I have no motivation - too tired, too much to do, want to sleep, too cold outside - I have all the excuses. But after trying it, we absolutely love it! Me and my husband look forward to going to karate for ourselves. It doesn't matter that I have spondyloarthritis. There are teenagers and 70 year olds in the class giving their best and having fun. Miss Nicole and Mr Riley encourage us and cheer us on. I never thought I'd look forward to exercising but here I am!Honestly, just give it a try. You'll love it! If you want something meaningful, just come to one class, you'll see what I mean.
AK is one of the best things that has happened to my son, thanks to Miss Nicole and Mister Ryley he has managed to be more disciplined, focused and much more respectful than he already was, but above all he now has confidence in itself. It is not just the martial arts but the connection and interaction that the teachers have with the children. I'm very grateful.
My husband and I are super grateful for Action Karate, Mr. Riley and Ms. Nicole.Our son has been taking part in private lessons to work on focus, discipline, with a long term goal of coexisting positively in a group setting.C took part in his first group class this past week which he thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Similes for days.We are very happy continuing to make karate part of our sons life. Mr. Riley works so well with him. He has learned to engage with C in fun ninja ways to capture his attention and crush goals. There has been a wonderful shift in our son’s overall disposition since he started karate 3-4 months ago and I couldn’t be happier with the direction we are going.We can’t thank you enough for all you do.
More than a karate program. The way Miss Nicole and Mr Riley teach the children not only karate but life skills is amazing. Improving their confidence by leading the class with positivity, consistency, and care. Truly a life changing program.
Miss Nicole is a wonderful influence on her students! She makes sure that each and every student is seen, heard, and understood. She rocks!
Miss. Nicole and Mr. Riley are incredible instructors and will help you get your kiddo back in place in this crazy world!
Ms. Nicole and the Action Karate team provide AMAZING classes! Highly recommend for anyone struggling with focus, self-discipline or confidence! Also great for Adults! Thank you Action Karate!!
Action Karate Doylestown is a great place to train in martial arts. The instructors are attentive and work hard to instill not just physical training, but also life lessons like confidence, focus and self control.
Action Karate Doylestown instructors are incredibly. They are kind and patient. My son enjoys going to class daily.
My family loves Action Karate Doylestown! The instructors are wonderful. You can tell they really care about their students & they love what they do. Their karate classes are high energy & they keep my active kid moving. Highly recommend!
The instructors here are amazing! They really care about each individual student. They also run excellent classes with lots of energy. 😊
Asah!A year ago I posted the review you see below this one. As a mom, I wanted to spread the good news about Action Karate Doylestown. Well, this January will mark two years my son has been with AKD and two years they have been with us! At that first lesson, he was a 5 year old with a few rather complex things going on. It's easy now to forget that at the time I was asking myself, "Will this work? Can he do this?" It was an overwhelming time for my family. Yet, here we are and he is now in the big kids class, which was a rite of passage I am proud to say he had to earn. But, you see, there is more good news about Action Karate Doylestown and I have been waiting all year to tell you! Last November, I started my own training journey. I was so excited to promote AKD as a new year's resolution; however, I realized that it would be a hollow review if I failed to stick with it. Today, Nov. 27th (ironically Bruce Lee's birthday) is my one year anniversary! 🎂💐🎊 Now I get to revisit my original goal to inspire you to come join us on the mat. Be prepared, because you will laugh, you may cry, you will absolutely sweat (don't worry they sanitize everything!) AKD is a great time you didn't even know you needed.And now, a few words about why I think you'll be as satisfied as I am...Martial arts training is as much about the self defense skills we learn in each and every class should we ever need to protect ourselves from real life bad guys as it is about the warrrior stance we take with our own minds and habits. Has it been physically or financially easy to have succeeded in a whole year of training.No, of course not. But it's been infinitely worth the transformation. Do I now feel younger and fit in my clothes better because Ms. Nicole or Mr. Riley waved their magic shark fin wands, of course not. Are they helping my son grow up to be the best version of himself without my willingness to look at myself and do the work, certainly not. Did I know a year ago how much simply punching and kicking targets and sweating would do to relieve my stress? No. But, boy am I glad I took a chance to find out! Whatever reasons you have for giving AKD a try be assured they will meet you every step of the way! Remember, you don't have to train in the martial arts. You GET to and that's a lot to be thankful for!🦈🦋🦈🦋🦈🦋🦈🦋🦈🦋🦈🦋🦈🦋🦈🦋🦈Hi! 😊If you are considering trying karate lessons, I could not possibly recommend Action Karate Fountainville more highly!!!! Our 6 year old has been attending since the beginning of 2023. The value and positive outcomes to his development shaped by his participation in their program is something I am so grateful for. I watch every class feeling so thankful for Ms. Nicole and Mr. Riley. A parent couldn't hope for better karate instructors! They have a student for life, or at least until he's 18. AK Fountainville gets the highest marks for professionalism, expertise, and genuine caring for each individual child as a person. There could be 4 kids or 13 in a class and I see that each one still receives personal attention. This school is a very valuable part of our community and I know you will love them too!!
Action Karate Fountainville is the BEST!!! My son has been attending classes since May and I’ve already seen such an improvement in his focus, attention and, most recently, resilience. Miss Nicole, Mr Riley and Mr Gray are most definitely a dream team - their patience alongside their training techniques speak volumes. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get involved with karate. Assa!
Action Karate Fountainville is a very nice place and has a very warm atmosphere to it. Ms. Nicole focuses on every student, and helps them all with anything they need to work on.
Miss Nicole is an amazing instructor. She cares for each student in her class. She’s very dedicated to her work in making the sessions fun for the ninja sharks! My son always looks forward to come to his classes. :) Mr. Riley and Mr. Grey are both great instructors as well. All of them are very professional in all they do!
Ms Nichole is priceless! You won’t find a martial arts instructor more dedicated to every single student.
Absolutely love the atmosphere of this Karate dojo my brother has learned so much and his attitude at home and at school has changed! And I cannot express how amazing Ms Nicole has been! She is so patient and so caring for all her students
The instructor has amazing energy and truly loves helping others become better!
