An extraordinary school with a welcoming environment. The coaches not only demonstrate great dedication and patience but also show a true passion for teaching. The best part is that I don’t feel the excessive profit-driven approach that is common in many other schools. Even though it’s 12 miles from my home, I don’t hesitate to bring my child to every class due to the quality of service and care we receive.

My daughter has been attending Action Karate for a year and a half now, and her self-esteem and confidence have improved tremendously. I was worried that the transition from elementary to middle school might be too much for her, but I couldn’t have been more wrong! Thanks to Action Karate, her confidence has soared, and she has also gained significant physical strength.If you're looking for a place where your child can develop these qualities, look no further—this is the place. Action Karate also emphasizes a strong mindset, which I believe is incredibly important for kids these days. I highly recommend Action Karate!"

Action Karate River Hills has been awesome! They have multiple age groups for all kids, young & older adults. My son has advanced to the senior class & has been welcomed by all. Being 11 he was hesitant but after trying & seeing the benefits of working hard with other like minded students, he absolutely loves it! We are currently working with a bow staff & will shortly move into other weapon defense training. Couldn’t be happier! Boys, girls, men & women all are equal on the mat & are treated with the same respect & welcoming. Highly recommend!

Absolutely, hands down, the best instruction and atmosphere. I would recommend checking it out. My son has been working at this for over a year and he's improved focus, as well as, flexibility and power. His confidence has increased as well. Mr. K and Mrs. G are amazing as is their assistant Mr. McGinnis. They teach to use these defense moves, but that you are better off walking away. They take their time working with each person in the class to ensure they understand and are safely practicing their craft. There is no age limit, come learn with your family!

My daughter is a member of Action Karate . Mr. K and Mrs. G are AMAZING! They are incredibly kind and patient , they know how to connect with the children. They keep them engaged and excited about learning the next lesson/maneuver! It's incredible to watch the kids gain confidence every lesson! The instructors exemplify the values they teach. What drew us to Action Karate was the family-oriented vibe, as they truly care about both the students and families. Hanna has improved her focus, character, and confidence significantly since joining the Action Karate family, and I sincerely appreciate that. They really invest in the kids, helping them along the way to success while imparting useful life skills. As a proud parent of an Action Karate kid, I highly recommend!

My 5 year old struggles alot with his adhd and impulse control. We thought we would give this a try and see how he did. Right on the first day I knew it was the best choice. Mr. K and Mrs. G know exactly how to connect with these kids and how to let them have fun while working hard and staying focused. My older son is now a member as well. Just got their yellow belts and looking forward to working to the next one.

Joining Action Karate with Mr. & Mrs. K was like joining a family! I love that I have found something healthy my son and I can do together, in a positive atmosphere.

My family had a great experience at Action Karate. Mr. Paul, Ms. Gina and Mr. Jack are positive and encouraging. In addition to teaching karate, they discuss things such as respect and discipline and how they can apply it to their daily lives. They host fun activities such as Glow in the Dark karate and encourage involvement in community projects such as food drives. I would highly recommend this studio. It's a great atmosphere for children and families!

Our journey with Action Karate has been nothing short of exceptional. Two years ago, my daughter embarked on her martial arts adventure, a decision driven solely by her curiosity and desire. Walking into that small room on her first day, I had no expectations, having never delved into the world of martial arts myself.From the moment we stepped in, Mr. K, our coach, made an unforgettable impression. Despite the humble beginnings of the classes, his passion and dedication shone through. It didn't take long for my daughter to develop a deep love for karate under his guidance. With each lesson, her skills flourished, progressing month by month.What truly sets Action Karate apart is their personalized approach to teaching. Mr. K has an innate ability to tailor his instruction to each student, ensuring that every individual reaches their full potential. Beyond the regular classes, the they offer a plethora of engaging activities, from Halloween trunk and treat events to glow parties and painting classes. This creative flair, spearheaded by Mr. K and Mrs. G, fosters a sense of community and belonging.Our time at Action Karate transcended the boundaries of a typical extracurricular activity. Spending five days a week immersed in this environment, we felt like an integral part of the family. For anyone seeking karate classes that prioritize deep learning and understanding of the martial arts process, I wholeheartedly recommend Action Karate. It's not just a place to learn karate; it's a place to grow, thrive, and belong.

My daughter was a very shy 6 year old when she began her journey at Action Karate. Over the past four months I have watched her confidence grow with each session. In addition to karate techniques my daughter has learned life lessons and leadership skills. Paul and Gina are so patient and kind. I highly recommend Action Karate River Hills.
