So happy we signed our kids up!!!! Skilled instructors know how to get the best results out of kids. Gentle discipline where needed, and thoughtful encouragement all the time. Always raising the bar to make them the best they can be, challenging them while supporting them until they get there. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Action Karate Telford. Between the charities, food drives, and social gatherings, they make it a family. I have recommended this dojo before to anyone I meet who ask about it and will continue to do so. Thank you, Action Karate Telford- the students might choose to be a Black Belt, but YOU are the reason they WANT to be a Black Belt!

Our family has been part of this karate school for 18 months, and it has been a fantastic experience for my 9-year-old son. The instructors are not only skilled and professional but also incredibly patient and encouraging with the students. They foster a positive environment that emphasizes discipline, respect, and self-confidence, all while making classes engaging and fun.We've seen tremendous growth in our son—not just in his karate skills but also in his focus and self-esteem. The school is well-organized, and the sense of community among the students and families is truly special. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a quality martial arts program that goes beyond physical training to build character and resilience in young students!

We started our son at Action Karate Telford in March of this year, and have been so impressed with the progress he has made! The instructors truly care about the students and do a great job encouraging them, guiding them, and supporting them in learning all the different skills. They make the learning/exercises fun for the younger kids and increase the challenge as they grow and improve. We would definitely recommend Action Karate Telford to anyone looking to start their son or daughter!

Gen X parent of an 8 yo daughter who has enjoyed the training at Action Karate Telford for over a year now. In life she’s a “participator” and wants to do everything, which exposes us to the other programs and clubs where kids are handed participation ribbons and empty praise. I want her to build confidence, but authentically by ‘earning’ it. I want her to have to work for things. I want her to have the discipline and focus necessary to prepare for life. And yeah I want her to be able to defend herself and be independent.The formula at AKT aligns really well to this. They require real effort and consistency and perseverance, and she has never been promoted without having earned the stripe or belt. I can see how the positive messages and values taught do carry over into other areas of her life. She’s young but at some point I know it will be good to have more voices other than parents advocating for positive approaches to life.I also appreciate that among the staff/teachers and the best students there are multiple women. I would strongly recommend the program overall.

R's Action FamilyOur son started at Action Karate Souderton (now Telford) in 2012 as a 7 year old with support from his communities, both Down Syndrome and school, all welcoming him but not quite sure who he was being shy and more often sat to the side and watched others act. In the Action group, we found a welcoming, engaging and thoroughly non-judgemental group, embracing him for all his strengths.Now a 19 year old, through each step of his Action learning and promotion he has continued to feel included, not just as a member of a karate group but as someone who is known, liked and appreciated for who he really is. It doesn't matter how well he kicks or punches or recites his Katas, he is cheered on for every accomplishment as well as his personal style of responding to the Action curriculum.Our family is proud to be a part of this warm and embracing family.

My son started at Action Karate Telford when he was 6 years old. Not only does he love attending class, we also see him taking the lessons he learns in class and applying them at home and in school. The staff are knowledgeable, energetic, and understanding. He and his guests also had a great time at his Board Breaking birthday party. Nothing but positive experiences for us!

My 5 year old daughter has been going to Action Karate in Telford since March. It is the first activity that she has fully enjoyed and not gotten bored with. She is always excited to attend class. They do a great job of switching it up every class to keep the children interested and engaged. All of the teachers and the students that assist in class bring a great energy to the class. I highly recommend!

I love AK Telford! I won a birthday party and used it for my 3yr old son.... I signed him up for twice weekly lesson and am SO impressed at how much attention my toddler gets as he has minimal focus (he is a toddler). He is now 3yrs 2 months old and can recite 1/2 of his kada which is so cool to hear and see. I love the dedication this specific location (TELFORD) has for special needs individuals! They understand my son has a medical diagnosis and cater to his needs!

Action Karate in Telford has had such an impact in my daughter’s life. In less than a year, she’s grown in strength, endurance, and karate skills, but her character has grown too. I’ve seen her persevere and go to class after a long day and do her best despite being tired. She has a drive and determination to get that black belt one day! The instructors are fantastic, positive, and motivating. I love how there are female leaders for her to look up to too. They are really great with kids with special needs too. If you’re looking for a flexible, fun, and impactful sport for your child or yourself, check them out! You won’t regret it!

My 4-year-old kids have been training at Action Karate Telford for the past year and we could not recommend it enough! In addition to learning the classic karate moves, they learn critical life lessons including perseverance, hard work, and resilience. We have seen our children gain confidence and focus over the past year as we have incorporated karate into our routine. What truly makes AK Telford special is the dedicated instructors who take a personal interest in each student. Their enthusiasm alongside their approach to young learners makes for a fun and meaningful experience. We look forward to having AK Telford a part of our lives for years to come!

My son Cayden joined in April to help him with his ADHD and build confidence. From day one the staff have been nothing but supportive and understanding of his needs and have gone above and beyond to make him feel special and confident in every class. I never thought we would find an activity that Cayden would enjoy so much but he looks forward to going every week and works hard to achieve the next stripe and belt. My son is slow to warm up and does not adapt well to change but Mrs. Cheri and Mr. Angelo made sure to work with him one on one until he felt comfortable. You can see the passion they both have for their jobs and how much they love helping kids achieve their goals. Everyone that works there is incredible and the program is perfect for all ages! We are so thankful we found Action Karate in Telford!

Parking lot is too small causing patrons to take up residential street parking. This takes away parking for people who live on the block. This happens most nights of the week. The neighbors end up being displaced.

My son wasn’t a fan of football, baseball, etc so we signed him up for karate. The instructors/karate family at AKT are amazing! They’ve helped my son build his self confidence, while teaching him self discipline, and of course the karate skills to kick a little butt. Can’t believe we’re coming up on three years and he’s beginning testing for his first black belt review. What an amazing journey! Thank you AKT - DC

We love Action Karate! My son has been attending since the fall of 2022 and it’s been the best thing that’s happened to him. He’s grown so much since attending both emotionally and as a martial artist. He’s learned discipline, gained confidence and self esteem. They truly care about every single student and make you feel like you’re part of their family. I’m very fortunate to have my son attend Action Karate.

My daughter has been a part of Action Karate Telford since August 2023. Her father and I were very nervous and hesitant because she is only 3, Autistic and has limited vocabulary . The instructors were very welcoming, pleasant and patient with our daughter. Our daughter looks forward to going to karate and really benefits from the routine and discipline Action Karate provides. My daughter does not speak much but when she is greeted by the instructors with a fist pound and a “ How are you feeling today?!” Her smile says it all. Thank you Action Karate Telford for making our daughter part of the family.

Action Karate Telford is everything you would hope it would be. Helpful, motivating and knowledgeable instructors lead the way. My son started out in the Ninja program and will be testing for his junior black belt in June of ‘24. As an adult I joined the adult program in January 2021 less then 2 months out of spinal fusion surgery and I earned my black belt in June ‘23. It was a great alternative to physical therapy which I was in for 2 years leading up to surgery. Overall a great family, friendly atmosphere with great people!!! Highly recommended!!!

If you are looking for a family centered, warm and inviting martial arts experience, look no further! Action Karate Telford has been a part of my life for many years. I trained for my first degree black belt and achieved it several years ago. After taking a couple of years off, I decided to come back and train for my second degree black belt. I was welcomed with open arms by both old and new friends. The Jr. members that I watched in classes years ago when they were in elementary and middle school are now first, second and third degree black belts and are integral leaders and educators on the mat. Come out to Action Karate Telford and you will find that you will not only strengthen your body but also your mind and spirit and build friendships that will last years to come.

AKT is absolutely amazing! As a sports coach of many years, I know with any sport or discipline you get out what you put in. The instructors at AKT are fully committed and it makes a difference in the impact on the kids. I can say the impact on our son since joining has been increased confidence, increased grit and work ethic, increased fitness and he's just happier overall. If you are debating signing up at all... don't hesitate - just try it out and see for yourself.

I can not say enough good things about Action Karate Telford!We have been attending for almost a year, and it has made such a difference in our lives. It started with my middle son, who has Autism and ADHD. The instructors are patient and willing to work with anyone. They genuinely care about every student who walks thru the door. They are willing to work with home and school to help tackle any issue as a team.I take adult classes, and they have been life changing! It's a great workout paired with a tremendous sense of camaraderie. Everyone is met with respect and encouragement regardless of where they are on their martial arts journey. Take the class! You won't regret it!Across all the classes is a tremendous sense of community. I never expected that from a dojo. It's a respectful, humble, loving, caring, and accepting community.My family and I are thrilled to call it our second home.

My name is Carter, I’m going for my JR black belt soon. I joined AKT when Covid happened, right away I knew I wanted to do karate. I knew I wanted to go for my black belt when I joined black belt leadership! AKT has helped me with my self discipline & perseverance, like doing my chores without being told. Another example would be with my trumpet. If I would have given up I wouldn’t have made spring band. My favorite thing about going to karate is the atmosphere! Everyone is friendly and nice, the instructors are very helpful.

My daughter started Karate almost 3 years ago. She has always been very shy and quiet. Karate has been excellent at helping to encourage her to be more outgoing and vocal by highlighting her strengths and giving her a positive outlook on where she can grow and how to do that in steps that are more comfortable for her. I am grateful for all of the support of all the instructors that give their time every day! AKT is a great place!

Action Karate Telford is a great place to have your children participate and learn Karate. Not only do they learn Karate but they learn how to work well with others, they gain confidence, structure, responsibility, discipline and so much more! They, also, get a good workout. These are all important aspects to help your child become a kind, respectable and healthy part of society. Karate is an excellent program to teach your children how to be strong, independent, brave and successful. My son has grown so much, in many ways, since joining the Action Karate Telford team. Do your children, and yourself, a favor and sign up today! You will love it! Winners never quit, quitters never win! ASAH!

My son started at Action Karate Telford when he was 7 and worked his way all the way to through the jr program earning his jr black belt. That was quite the accomplishment for him, and he gained more confidence then he previously had. After that he asked me to join karate and work towards getting our first degree black belt together. Now I am taking classes and am a certified part time instructor and work events and birthday parties. Action is a big part of our lives and we are so happy to have made the friends we have and to call the karate school a second home.

My son and I joined Action Karate Telford in April of 2021. I have seen my son's confidence and perseverance grow through his time at Action Karate. He is excited to go to karate each week and has made several friendships with classmates. When I first joined Action Karate it was to share an experience and time with my son, now I am gaining so much more. I have experienced not only improved physical fitness but have formed friendships that we fondly refer to as our Action Karate family. The instructors are always willing to take the time to review material you may have questions on or spend extra time outside of class to help you. You can truly see that they care about how you are doing with the material and want to best for each one of the students. I truly recommend Action Karate Telford for anyone looking to join for their kids or as an adult!
