AKNL is a great place for kids of all ages to learn discipline and self confidence. My son started in their Ninja Shark class (he's now a Junior) and has enjoyed every minute of his time there since. They encourage family involvement and provide a variety of opportunities for everyone to do so (Dad's and Pads, Mom's in May, Share the Martial Arts week, AK 5K, Self Defense, etc.) They even give mom and dad a chance for a date night with Parents Night Out (which we all love). They also have a variety of sessions so there's something to fit most schedules. Mr. Radice and Ms. Dani are absolutely amazing instructors who are patient and caring while still expecting black belt excellence from the kids. If you're on the fence about enrolling your child don't be. You won't regret it.
Action Karate has been so welcoming to our son . Our son was shy and had little confidence now he is so brave and does well in school and at home. We are grateful for Action Karate..

This is a great karate school – the instructors make it so much fun for little ones, and everyone is really friendly. My son has been a student at Action Karate Northern Liberties for over 6 months. He has found his passion for Karate here. He is a different child than he was before he learned karate. He loves karate but he also loves the people at Action Karate because they treat him with respect and kindness. Words cannot express how pleased we are with the program and staff — you guys are all so amazing and enthusiastic!!!!

So happy with Action Karate. When our daughter started in August, she was wild- running around and not able to focus. Ms. Dani and Mr. Radice are amazing- Ms. Dani is unbelievably patient and Mr. Radice is just so kind. Genuinely good people and great teachers. 6 months later, my daughter has done a complete 180. She focuses, follows instructions and has so much fun in class. And what she has learned in karate translates to her focus at home and at school. She's also very proud of herself.And, as a plus, last month they had a special allowing parents to train for free in the adult classes all month. My husband went and loved it. He got an amazing workout and had a blast, so much that he's likely joining.Ms. Dani and Mr. Radice's passion is so clear- they love what they do and it shows.

My great grandson and I attend Action Karate in Northern Liberty. I am approaching 81years and Ian is 7 years old. We will finish our first year and start our 2nd year in January, 2024. Mr.Radice and Miss Danni are fantastic. They create a welcoming environment where everyone receives the attention and help necessary to succeed and learn the art. It is a nurturing environment but still well disciplined. We are certainly looking forward to our 2nd year..... Onward ...Bill Sheridan and Ian Acevedo

Action Karate in Northern Liberties has been an incredible martial arts academy for our four-year-old daughter. From the moment she joined, their dedicated instructors showed exceptional patience and skill in helping her excel in karate. The classes are well-structured, with a perfect blend of discipline and fun, which kept her engaged and motivated throughout her training journey. Our daughter's confidence, coordination, and discipline have improved significantly since she started at Action Karate. We are truly grateful for the positive impact they've had on her development. If you're looking for a place to nurture your child's growth, this is definitely the right choice.

Action Karate No Libs has far exceeded my expectations. My 11 year old son has learned respect, discipline, confidence, and most importantly, he looks forward to going to every class. He has met great friends and enjoys the time he spends with them. I highly recommend!

We love this karate class! I enrolled my shy 3 year old and it’s been so amazing to see him develop more confidence and become more adjusted to following a class in a group. Miss Dani has been so helpful and patient and helps him feel secure. And Mr. Radice is really great at breaking down the technique for my little guy (and for me, an absolute newbie to the art). I’m so glad we tried this place out!

My 4 year old started Action Karate 3 months ago and he loves it! He is a shy kid so Ms Dani offered a trial class before we committed. The classes are fun and action-filled! My son has become more confident, outgoing and great at advocating for himself. I highly recommend Action Karate.

Before starting at Action Karate my daughter was struggling with behavioral issues at home and in school. Miss Dani and Mr. Radice welcomed her with open arms and it is now her favorite part of the week! Her behavior improves with every single class and we couldn’t be more grateful. I recommend it to all parents!
