All the ways in which our kids’ martial arts program can help your child

Learning
Our trained instructors teach practical self-defense techniques and traditional martial arts skills.
2
Having fun
As part of our sessions, we also incorporate interactive games and activities into our classes.
3
Working hard
Working towards goals is an important way of fostering a strong work ethic and sense of accomplishment.
Action Karate follows a holistic approach to physical and mental well-being
Action Karate’s martial arts classes provide a great physical workout for kids but the mental health aspect should not be overlooked either. We go beyond helping your child stay fit and healthy. Instead, we also help students manage their emotions and respond effectively in challenging situations.
That’s because martial arts is more than just physical exercise. It’s a training philosophy that incorporates emotional intelligence training that ultimately results in good mental balance and emotional well-being
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.

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!

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.
