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 son has autism and we wanted to find an activity for him to participate in and look forward to--we found it here. Tried a few other sports/activities but he wasn't really paid attention or helped along the way. But here it is different.All the instructors are very patient with my son and really take the time to help him learn and grow. I am so happy with this place, definitely recommend!!!!

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 taking lessons at AKT when she was 5 and is now almost 9 and about to test for her junior black belt. She has really enjoyed her time learning martial arts and making new friends. Karate has helped her gain confidence and shown her how to set goals and take realistic steps to achieve them. The instructors provide a great balance of fun and seriousness so the students enjoy learning.

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!

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!

Building confidence through karate: The journey of belts


Unlike many other sports, karate may be considered a non-competitive sport whose core focus is not about winning or losing against others. Instead, it’s about personal progress and competing with oneself for the ultimate goals of self-improvement, child development, and self-confidence. The colored belt system, which progresses from white to black, creates a pathway to growth, development, and greater self-esteem. While there is some competition in some aspects of karate, we encourage teamwork, cooperation, and mutual respect.
