We have had a great experience with Master Alex and the staff at AK Jamison. They work well with the kids and promote self control and discipline while making it fun. My daughter has only been training for a couple months, tho I see so many positive changes in attitude and respect in daily life. We practice at home almost every day (not for long maybe 20-30mins), but that has made a huge difference in her progress and performance (strongly recommended). We would absolutely encourage anyone to give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

I've been going to Acion Karate for about 8 years now. I started going to Action Karate all because my friend started doing it and I wanted to "copy" him. I soon got placed in a class with kids all around the same age group as me. My brother and my mom also both started doing Action Karate. I soon became a assistant instructor with my brother, and my mom became the instructor that lead the thursday class. After 4 years of being an assistant instructor, I had to quit because I didnt have the time to help teach classes. As the years passed, I slowly moved up to where I am now. I igned up for the Junior Demo Team, which is an advanced team for people to do tricks and preform infront of judges as a team and hopefully get first place. I even soon got into the adult class, and im about to get my blackbelt.

My son started at Action Karate at the age of 11. He is now 14 and I’ve seen him grow stronger since he began his journey towards Jr. Black Belt. He is physically stronger as well as mentally through their teachings learning discipline, perseverance, confidence, and so much more! In addition, becoming apart of the Jr. Leadership program has also been a rewarding experience working with the younger kids in the Ninja Shark group. He’s learned some valuable teaching skills as well as mastering Karate moves in his classes. We are very excited to see him achieve his Jr. Black Belt in December! All the hard work is sooooo worth it. As his parents we are so proud of him!!! A final shout out to all the Amazing Instructors— they are so encouraging, enthusiastic and skilled Martial Art instructors!

My entire family trains at Action Karate Jamison, and we all love it. Getting a family of four to agree on anything can be a challenge, but karate has been that magic thing for us! My daughter experienced anxiety at first, but the instructors all showed such patience and understanding. Their ongoing support and encouragement have led her to her blackbelt test this winter! I,too, will be testing for my blackbelt. At 42 with chronic health issues, this isn't what I thought I'd be doing. But again, the support and encouragement of the instructors and our entire AK family have been key to my success as well. Next up, my son and husband will have their chance!

My 5 year old granddaughter absolutely loves Action Karate in Jamison. We tried the free class back in the summer and it was a hit with her. She now attends 2-3 classes a week. They always have life lessons during each class that are easy for the kids to follow. Her focus and following directions has improved immensely. All the instructors are wonderful and very attentive to the children. Don’t hesitate to try them out if you’ve been thinking about it. It’s definitely worth it!!

I have started my son at Action Karate Jamison since he was 3 years old and he will be 5 in December. I love this school along with Master Alex and the other instructors. I have noticed a great change in my son’s performance as well as his confidence! Everyone works with the children in a professional but fun way so they can all achieve their goal and work their way up to that black belt. Overall great experience!!

Action Karate in Jamison is a breath of fresh air, everyone is kind, welcoming and most of all accepting of all student’s individual needs. My kids both came to a class with friends and were hooked. We signed my son up while my daughter finished dance and then signed her up as well. Master Alex always has a kind word for parents and students alike and the rest of the staff is amazing as well. They give life lessons between sets and my kids really look up to everyone there. They even personally drop off a yard sign on your child’s birthday. They are just the best! We are so blessed to have found Action Karate and I can’t wait to see my kid’s confidence grow as they learn important and valuable life lessons!

This Karate School has been one of the best choices for my daughter to help her gain self confidence and show he what’s she is worth for, she has achieved many of her fears and she has become very independent. The instructors are the main stars in this school they are the ones that have help many students including my daughter to believe in their self’s. I really appreciate every single Instructor for being a part of my daughter’s success. Thank You Action Karate Jamison

My sons (3 and 6 y/o) joined the Action Karate family last Fall, and we have had such a positive experience I have also joined as a student and volunteer instructor for the 'Ninja' classes (young kids class). Master Alex and the rest of the team are supportive, but firm instructors that have truly made us feel like part of a great little community.The boys are learning patience and discipline through a medium that allows them to expend some of their abundant energy! I get a great workout twice a week (7:45PM classes), while making friends and learning new martial arts skills.I highly recommend checking out Action Karate for an excellent family-oriented experience, and I have nothing but great things to say about the location in Jamison in particular.

We've had a fantastic experience at Action Karate! The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. My 10-year-old son has grown not just in his karate skills but also in confidence and discipline. The classes are well-structured and they always ensure each child is engaged and learning at their pace. Highly recommend to any parent looking to introduce their child to martial arts in a supportive and fun environment!

My son started karate about 3 years ago. Our daughter had already been there and had received her junior Black Belt. He thought it looked interesting and wanted to be like her. It is probably one of the few times he has ever asked to join anything. He is a bit of a shy guy and his confidence isn't always the best. At karate, however, his confidence has grown and he has really stepped out of his comfort zone. He enjoys going and is really looking forward to testing for his junior Black Belt in a few weeks. We are so proud of his growth these past few years! The teachers have always been kind and reassuring to him. They must be doing something right to have 2 junior Black Belts in the family! We look forward to seeing all he can do in the future!

My daughter Caitlyn has been a student at Action Karate Jamison since April 2020. The training there has helped Caitlyn grow in confidence and now she is a black belt candidate. Master Alex (Woojin Kang) is extremely dedicated. He and the other instructors are great at motivating students of all ages. They not only teach sudents self defense, they also teach the importance of self-confidence, focus, and respect.

My son has been a student at Action Karate Jamison for a few months now and I have already seen such a change in his confidence and assertiveness. When we signed up, we were able to talk with the director about the skills and behaviors we wanted to focus on improving or strengthening, and the experience truly feels personal, even with large class sizes. Very grateful we found Action Karate!

Action Karate has been our second home for over two years! We began our journey at Action as it had already came extremely highly recommended. After our first class we knew it was the perfect place for our daughter. Fast forward to today and she is currently the strongest, most confident, healthy, disciplined and dedicated version of herself we could ever hope for. Action fully understands the wholesome components necessary to support children as they explore the world around them. We are forever indebted to AK Jamison for welcoming us into this lifestyle! Thanks Sensei Michael, Master Alex and Miss Ashlee!

My family and I absolutely love coming here. At first, only our child was signed up for classes, but due to the community and the people that work there, my boyfriend and I decided to join. It’s been amazing and a real bonding experience for both my boyfriend and I, but also with our child. Now, we can help our child improve on their karate moves, but also help us work towards different goals and behaviors talked through at their class. 10/10 would recommend!!If you’re looking for a place to build confidence, work on your child’s behaviors, lessons that help build stronger routines for your child, and a good place for you or your child to burn out some energy, this is the place to go!

Our son started at Action Karate back in 2019 when they conducted some classes at his school. He was in Kindergarten back then and he absolutely loved those classes and we eventually became a part of the Action family.We can see the immense change in him. He has become more focused, determined, learnt to speak up for himself which was our biggest concern.All the teachers are absolutely amazing. They're so much invested in all the kids. They give individual attention as well to kids who need that extra help and push.4+ years and our son will be testing for his black belt soon! Thank you to all the teachers who always go that extra mile for their students.

Terrible place, strictly and clearly a pyramid scheme. They don't allow you to cancel, proceed to bill you. Child gets nothing from the range of frequently changing instructors who are only there doing community service required by action karate's black belt programTo respond to their generic and, again, disappointing response - with lack of accountability -Don't waste your money here. They do not listen to your wishes. I can upload some proof of my conversations stating "I'd like to cancel and not bring my daughter in" where they respond "bring her in we'll talk here" completely disregarding and disrespecting my parenting. They are not even paying attention clearly and didn't read my 5 text messages and several emails. At this point, I'd happily settle this with litigators.You guys have people pay more for the black belt program and have them ( a range of ages and people in the black belt program ) teaching our children as it's "mandatory for them to do "community service" to obtain their belt, but it's poorly run and it would be a nice concept, if they actually learned ANYTHING. It's messy, our children became numbers, not even, and we'd be Better off letting them go to a free playground to get their yayas out. The instructors- constantly changing, there's nothing being learned, we're paying 70 dollars a class for them to sub out their work to their own clients. Clearly all a Pyramid scheme and I could tell the first day when they pitched me the full deal. I did it bc my daughter wanted to learn and we as parents wanted her to learn a sense of discipline. Can't learn discipline if they're not disciplined or morally intact themselves!

I am from out of town and decided to try out a lesson with Sara. At first the moves didn’t seem to be that difficult, but as we progressed with the lesson, it started getting harder. As I am not the most flexible, the high kick was challenging for me. Though Sara took the time and patience to show me different ways of doing the move so I wouldn’t get hurt. Her expertise in karate is also apparent, as she is able to teach so many different people of different skill levels. I suggest if anyone comes down for a lesson, they should ask for Sara!!!

My daughter Abigail just recently started at Action Karate Jamison about two months ago. She absolutely loves it. At first she was very shy but all of the instructors worked with her and eventually brought her out of her shell. Every week she is so excited to go in and learn with all of her friends and I especially love seeing how passionate and dedicated the instructors are to teaching. I am so incredibly proud of her and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone.

I started at Action Karate Jamison when I was only 9 years old, and I fell in love with it immediately. For the past 12 years, karate has been the only constant factor in my life as I explored new interests in various sports and other extracurricular activities. Even today as a full time college student, I am able to train and teach and see first hand how being a part of the Action Karate family has made waves in my life and in who I am as a person today. Sensei Michael, Mr. Hodum, Mr. M and Ms Ashlee are the best mentors I could have ever asked for, and I look to them today as I navigate career opportunities and other big life changes. Action Karate Jamison has truly made me the person I am today, and I will always thank my parents for signing me up and continuously pushing me to reach my goals.

We have been a part of the AK family since 2019, when my oldest child was a little over 3 years old. The staff at AK worked with my son at several classes before we officially joined, and at the time my son was not motivated and was reluctant to follow instructions (as many 3 year-olds are). Fast-forward to 2022, my oldest and middle (4 1/2 y.o.) sons are both at AK Jamison, and eager to participate, learn, and excel! They have both done tournaments, and it is amazing to see them reciting the kata in front of judges and an audience. AK Jamison truly is a family; not just for members, but for the whole community- they frequently have free community classes and events during holidays. Each of the staff members makes a point to assist any and every student during every class, in order to perfect their skills- whether it be a martial arts move, an exercise, or simply sitting or standing still with patience and discipline. My oldest is now frequently raising his hand to volunteer for demonstrations or to answer questions, and has led the class in the student creed. I am constantly amazed at how far he's come, and I can't wait to see my youngest (daughter, currently almost 2) perform at AK Jamison.

They are truly devoted to the children that they teach. They are focused on teaching life lessons and discipline in a very thorough manner. Every young child seems to understand and absorb the lessons that they teach which can be very difficult when dealing with kids. Kudos to the Action Karate family and thank you for making us feel at home!!!

The Instructors are extremely enthusiastic , exude positivity, and are engaging with all the students My daughter is on the Autism Spectrum and attempting to earn her Black Belt. They have welcomed her, understanding her unique challenges. She is treated as any other student but if she needs a little extra assistance, they take the time to see she fully grasps the techniques involved. Her confidence and physical abilities has grown further than we could imagineHighly recommend taking a look at Action Karate at any one of their locations for your child's Martial Arts experience (ok Adults too) .
