As a pediatric OT and mom of two who are both very into Karate now, I’m here to whole heartedly recommend Action Karate in Oreland. The instructors are lovely and so engaged with the kids. Great for confidence building and body awareness. So lucky to have this space in our community!

Rohaan's journey through the belt progression has been nothing short of amazing. He is generally a reserved person and I have seen him develop friendships with his classmates. He has the biggest heart of anyone I personally know and the fortitude to reach the goals he sets, despite their difficulty, as evidenced by him reaching the Jr. Black Belt promotion.

He is a young man who honors his word, he excels at everything he takes on and I see that reflected especially in his effort during class. I can't say how solid his kata forms are from the perspective of the truly great instructors at AKO (Action Karate Oreland), but when I hear and see the strength of his kicks, punches, and combinations, they seem strong and solid.

The common wisdom of old was, "It takes a village" and as Rohaan's father (and mother), we have tried to share all that we have learned in our lives to help him become an upstanding, compassionate, empathetic, caring, moral, ethical, and strong young man. However, it would be unjust and untrue if we take all the credit. The wisdom, discipline, patience, fortitude, and the art of karate that he has learned at AKO has been a part of our village and I tip my hat to Mr. and Mrs. Sude and staff for all the contributions they have made in helping our son reach his potential as a young man.

The journey has been amazing and I look forward to sharing my daughters journey in a few short months when she attempts her Jr. Black Belt.

My deepest and sincerest gratitude to AKO for the part you have played in our son's development!

Thank you and my best wishes for this community-centric dojo's success.

Lovely folks. Cannot say enough about how kind they’ve been to our family. Great place to get your kids started with Karate.

My son has been training at Action Karate Oreland for a few years now and Mr. and Mrs. Sude are the best!! He's so strong and confident in himself and I think Action Karate is a pillar of that strength in his life.

This is my daughter’s story (Miss Tally, age 12):
My martial arts journey started when I joined a 3-week after-school program through Action Karate Oreland. I was immediately hooked! Since February 2023, I’ve been training weekly and have progressed through several belts. I’m currently part of the Jr. Black Belt Challenge and can’t wait to earn my 1st Degree Jr. Black Belt!
Mr. Sude, Miss Genevieve and all the instructors at Action Karate Oreland are very supportive and have helped me grow stronger, more confident, and disciplined. Even when I broke my arm in summer 2024, they encouraged me through my recovery with modified training and positive motivation. Thanks to them, I stayed focused and came back even stronger.
This school is more than just a place to learn karate—it’s a community that builds character and resilience. I’m proud to be part of it and excited for what’s next in my martial arts journey!

My son studies karate at this studio and the following is from him “In November 2022, I started my karate journey. My parents signed me up because they had read that martial arts helps build confidence, which I was lacking. When I started I was really nervous and did not know what to expect. Over a few months, I started to feel more comfortable and started to enjoy it. I also really started to enjoy karate when my best friend joined. During my time at Action Karate, I have gotten stronger, and gained enough confidence to now test for my black belt.”

Karate is a workout that requires you to push beyond what you can normally do. Every time it is time to test, you give it your all to earn your next belt. It requires you to push, struggle, and keep going to earn the reward of your next belt. Here I am, almost at the point where I test for my black belt. Throughout many years of struggle and triumph, here I am going for the ultimate goal. More struggle is to come, but if you overcome it, you become a part of the less than 1% of the population with a black belt. It will take hard work to achieve, and that’s what makes it more rewarding. - Arjun Jani

Action Karate is amazing in my opinion. I am 10 years old currently and Mr. Sude and Mrs. Genevieve are always willing to help fix forms, work with you privately and are always loving. If you are looking to physically and mentally get stronger, and build discipline and confidence, Action Karate Orland is the place for you!

We've been students at this studio since it opened and truly couldn't recommend it more highly.

Ms Genevieve is exactly the role model I want for my daughter, a rare mix of kind and badass, and Mr Sude and the other instructors always do an excellent job with both the martial arts and character building.

Our 5 year old son has been taking classes at Action Karate Oreland for a little less than a year. Mr. Sude, Ms. Genevieve, and their team of coaches are fantastic with kids of all ages. They are patient, kind, thoughtful, experienced, and they are excellent teachers. Classes are only 30 minutes and varied enough to keep everyone’s attention and help them to progress in their training. The class schedule is very convenient, and the studio is comfortable and welcoming for parents (and younger siblings) to watch classes. Our son has improved not just his karate skills, but also his self-control overall. If you are thinking about a fun, enriching activity for your kids, we highly recommend classes at Action Karate Oreland!

My grandchildren attend karate classes here and I am very happy with their programs. I have seen a big difference with my grandson and his focus, especially in school. The instructors are knowledgable and are very patient with the kids. I highly recommend this school for karate for your children or grandchildren!

My kids started at Action Karate Oreland at either 3 or 4 years old. I wanted them to do an activity that teaches them the importance of discipline, respect, focus, and fitness. I have been amazed seeing their growth since joining as some can imagine keeping toddlers still for even a minute can be a challenge. I even became a member myself after months of my son asking me to join him on the mat. It's given us another thing to bond over. I've been enjoying the adult classes as it's introduced me to other wonderful people while learning moves and self defense. We work hard but also have fun and laugh. It has been a great stress relief and gives me a much needed break from work. I always feel great and more relaxed and calm after each class. I highly recommend Action Karate Oreland.

My son started karate in September at Action Karate Oreland. I’ve seen such a growth in his confidence and he absolutely loves coming to class! The instructors are all amazing, very special people. Would definitely recommend!

10/10 for my family. We first met the owner at a local block party. They donate their time quite regularly in the community. We started off with two weeks of free classes and that turned into my kids attending once a week. I cannot think the action karate family enough for welcoming us. I have a set of twins and we had tried two other activities and my kids had no real interest. Once we tried karate they seem to love it. I look forward to the future with action karate. My kids are learning very important the values as well as self-defense. I couldn't be happier. Lastly we recently had a birthday party hosted by action karate. That was very cool they were board breaking, a samurai sword cake cutting plus games. I'm so happy we decided to continue classes here

Since enrolling our son in Action Karate, we have seen such tremendous changes in his confidence and self-discipline. The instructors are so kind and patient with the kids. They support their growth and challenge them in each class. It is a wonderful opportunity for your child to exercise, have fun, and develop life long skills in a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment. :)

Adrian attended a birthday party and we signed him up to see if karate was something of interest. We haven't looked back since. It has been a great experience for him. Go Orange!

I love how confident my son has become since he started at Action Karate Oreland! Even his teacher noticed that he was participating more in class. Mr. Sude and Ms. Genevieve are such strong role models and excellent teachers. They strive to have each child do their best and it really shows. I highly recommend them!

I am so happy my grandchildren started this program. My grandson has learned so much self control and my granddaughter has really built up her confidence. Something that is needed as she goes into middle school. After watching them train for so long, I decided to enroll myself! Thanks to Mr. Sude and Ms. Genevieve for being amazing instructors and getting the best out of their martial artists!

Stacey Mardt

What can I say. This is an amazing experience we have had. So far, my son has blossomed into a gentleman and loves going here. Usually we see a drop out, or no enthusiasm when we say we are going to go to "X" when I tell him it is AK night, nothing is better than to see him light up and smile. I can't thank Mrs. Genevieve & Mr. Sude, for our journey so far. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Joseph Collins

Our son is a Ninja Shark and goes 3-4 days a week. He absolutely loves it. The Sude’s are the best. They have a lot of patience and are excellent teachers, I couldn’t ask for better karate teachers. We love being part of the Action Karate Oreland family and plan on being there in the years to come!

Mrs. Genevieve and Mr. Sude from Action Karate provided a wonderful demonstration for our second grade students. Following the presentation, they took the time to meet with each individual second grade class. The presentation was age appropriate, enjoyable and interactive. It was a pleasure to have Action Karate Oreland visit our school.

Back in the 90s my parents signed me up for Action Karate when it was still in its early stages in Warrington. Now 20 (ish) years later, my daughters are part of the shark gang 🦈🥋 They love going every week mostly because Ms. Genevieve and Mr. Sude's energy and patience is truly something to be admired! I highly recommend Action Karate (Oreland) if you want an energetic, confidence boosting, exercise for your child or yourself!

Elizabeth Giuliano

14:46 12 Sep 22

I am so happy with Action Karate Oreland. Mr. Sude and Ms. Genevieve are so positive and encouraging to all of their students. As an adult who is returning to karate after many years, I appreciate how patient and motivating both instructors are. Classes always have a clear, consistent format with lots of variety. I highly recommend Action Karate Oreland!

I am so excited for Genevive and Michael Sude. Their passion for the Martial Arts both training and teaching is going to empower the Oreland area with amazing classes filled with empowering life lessons.
