Action Karate South Philly is an extravagant experience for sure. When I first started, I knew it would be a well worth journey going at my own pace with a deep hidden passion for martial arts and the challenge I will faced on the way. Didn't crossed my mind until I was asked to be an assitance instructor is the amazing challenge and privileged honor to fulfill.I met so many great group of decent excellent people who are awesome in their own right! From our two head instructors Mr. Ryan and Mr. Fernandez, my fellow instructors like Ms. Keili, Ms. Kelly, Ms Desiree, Ms. Allison etc, along with the many students that entered the mat showing vast self improvement and the joy on their faces during class.Meeting and knowing over 100 names from AK South Philly can be a challenge, but in a fun way. You tend to care and learn many interesting fun things about them when engaging. Definitely a privilege to be part of Action Karate South Philly as it helped me in many ways I will be always grateful for and stick to a line of "If asked, I will serve!"Definitely find the choice and interest when it comes to Martial Arts. It CAN change lives for everyone who need that positive change! I've seen it many times and I'm one of them. Action Karate rocks!

Our eight-year old daughter has been attending Action Karate South Philadelphia for more than two years and she LOVES it. The curriculum is high quality and the instructors are fantastic. In addition to learning the art of karate, the students develop valuable life skills, including focus and discipline.

This has been such a great experience for our son, who started at age 9 and is now 11. He describes it as "great, intense, and fun." He's made new friends and has really worked hard, gotten stronger and more confident. We love seeing his pride when his commitment pays off in a new belt or a competition trophy.

We enrolled our son in Action Karate almost a year ago. Their approach and team are fantastic. It's been great for our son in terms of exercise, fitness, focus and more. Also, their team has an amazing ability to connect with each student and motivate them as needed. Most impressively - they seem to remember every kid's name during class - and I have no clue how they do that :) 5/5 stars.

I signed my son up almost 3 years ago and this place has felt like home ever since. Everyone is friendly and inviting and have been since day one. My son and I both train at Action and while the techniques are great there are so many other things that are being taught, such as, focus, confidence and goal setting. I highly recommend it for kids but also for adults as well.

I started when I was 12 as a white belt, and now I'm 14 and a red belt. And I'm making my way to earn my black belt in June! Going to karate made me change my ways, and now I'm strong and more confident after a lot of hard times in life. I highly recommend Action Karate South Philly!!!
