My son absolutely loves Action Karate! He looks forward to it every week. Each instructor is very encouraging and hands on with the kids. Each kid is getting attention being as though there are multiple instructors on the mat with the children. Best decision we made was to return back to action karate manyunk

We are so happy with our experience at Action Karate Manayunk! Our 5 yo son really struggled initially to pay attention / join in each class and the instructors have rallied around him to figure out how to help him best. He absolutely loves it and asks if he can go almost daily! We love how there are several instructors each class so he gets lots of individual coaching and they also seem to understand his unique needs. The instructors (and other parents) have also been so encouraging and supportive for me through watching my son struggle initially. We have tried MANY group sports/activities and this is the first one he has really enjoyed and felt proud of himself!

I love the program! My kids enjoy going every week! My children are having fun while learning self-defense and effective ways to help them develop focus and concentration skills.I, myself, have just enrolled in the program and it’s amazing! It’s a great work out and so much more. Staffing/leaders/coaches are awesome people

My daughter loves Action Karate. She is so excited to be training for her black belt. Before karate Lei was shy and stayed to herself. I now get to watch her bloom and step out of her shell and interact with the other kids in class. She is also this new person outside of karate, I want to thank everyone at Roxborough Action karate for showing my baby how to reach within herself and pull her confidence out!

My 3 year old son has flourished socially, built confidence, and drastically improved his ability to focus since he started taking classes at Action Karate Manayunk just 3 months ago. The staff is excellent at navigating the different temperaments that each child may have and helping them learn to control their reactions. The staff is always attentive, present l, professional and kind. Bringing my son to Action Karate Manayunk is one of the best decisions I made for him!

Action Karate Manyunk is a welcoming, friendly place for our family to learn focus, self confidence and respect. The instructors are knowledgeable and make classes interesting. We joined to learn self defense and to stay fit. We are beginning our journey as a family and hope to grow and improve with Action Karate.

Action Karate has given me a place to bond with my boys over some much needed physical activity ( on my part 😂)

My 4 year old son started taking classes two weeks ago and it has been great! He has learned so much already! We’re new to karate so he has a lot to learn, but the instructor support has been AMAZING! He usually has someone specifically working with him during classes so he can build his confidence and skills and the instructors are always all very positive. My son can be shy and shut down easily in classes with multiple kids, but that never happens here. He loves it and can’t wait to go every week! We’re so happy we started taking him here!

My son is 6 years old and has been training at this location since the age of 3. Since day one both Ms. Taura and Mr. C has been extremely welcoming and made us feel like family. Their patience, kindness and encouragement towards my son and I is unmatched and I am forever thankful for these instructors. One of the best karate schools!!!

Action Karate in Manayunk is the best place I could have found for my 5yo son. The location is convenient for us, the staff is great and super patient, and they offer ways to involve the parents with their child or children like assistant coaching. They offer workout classes during the holidays for the parents as well as holiday gatherings for everyone. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to enroll your child into karate. You will not be disappointed.

I would just like to share how wonderful the staff is. We recently celebrated my youngest birthday party with them and let me just say WOW! The staff was very well organized with the whole thing and were absolutely incredible with the children and they were ranging from 3-12 years old. They had even the shy kids running around having a blast! The Manayunk staff did such an amazing job and I was able to sit back and actually enjoy the party with my daughter instead of hosting it! They also had an awesome cake cutting ceremony that my 8 year old was absolutely thrilled with! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend for not only karate class but birthday parties as well!

We love the atmosphere and energy of Action Karate Manayunk! I love how each of the instructors know each of the students. They encourage them and give then motivation. They have both in class and online options, and allow for make ups too if needed. We are so happy we found a place our son loves!

My daughter has been taking classes here for a few months now and I can say, it looks like we made a great choice! Scheduling classes are a breeze and it really helps that they have multiple options for those parents with tight schedules.Class sizes vary but it seems to always be an appropriate student to teacher ratio.The staff here have been amazing so far.She does not have a favorite teacher because they are "ALL AWESOME".The communication and encouragement during every session is impressive. The lessons she has received have been beneficial and I really enjoy it as we continue to watch her commitment to learning and reaching her next goal.

We started with Action Karate Manayunk during the pandemic as an activity to get out of the house - 3.5 years later my son (age 13) is about to test for his black belt. The instructors and other students and families there have been amazingly supportive throughout our journey. More so, I've seen my son grow not just in capabilities, but in character. He has learned leadership and coaching skills that will greatly benefit him in life. I would highly recommend AK Manayunk to anyone considering martial arts for themselves or their kids.

My daughter Penelope had an overall amazing time at Action Karate Manayunk.She started her journey so that she could spend more time with her friends, but she ended up pushing herself to become better.There were times when she wanted to quit when she hated going.The instructors were kind, understanding, and always able to answer any questions or give encouragement.They reminded her that things wouldn't always be easy, but with practice, grit, and more practice, she would break through.She did.She enjoyed her time with Action Karate Manayunk.

Fantastic teachers, great facilities and wonderful teaching where all the children can train together and teach each other. A feeling if empowerment and personal drive can be seen which is great for reinforcing the self confidence.

Disgusted. This place is fine until you want to drop the classes. Today (9/20) I received a letter from a debt collector for $2,664 from action karate. I told Action Karate in February that I was canceling my membership after a small injury to my finger. It was uncomfortable to participate with my finger constantly in pain. They didn’t care at all so I canceled the classes for me and my niece. After multiple conversations and text regarding my cancellation. I was told that they would stop the payments and they didn’t. $600 a month for classes I stopped attending so I had to change my card information to stop the charges. Now In September, I am receiving a letter for a debt collection. This is insane. Be aware!Reply to Mr. C (9/27): Hi, I did meet Face to Face with Ms. Taura about canceling the classes in February. I didn't miss any meeting that was scheduled. In that meeting, she asked if I would consider a cheaper membership option where I would only come in 2 times a week. I told her, I would think about it but I still wanted to cancel my membership. That next week, I still was charged $300 plus $60 for some blade device (I was fine with the $60 as I already took the weapon home) which I then called and spoke to her over the phone about. This is not an issue of miscommunication. I said multiple times that I needed to cancel my membership. I don't have an issue with action karate as an establishment and I understand the "commitment" aspect but I was very clear that I wanted to cancel both memberships to Miss. Taura in person, over the phone and text. I do appreciate you offering to pay to remove my debt from the agency. I will be in contact if needed. Best regards.

Jett is 8 years old and I started researching Action Karate one because his Mother who is no longer with us wanted Jett to be apart of Action Karate but I wasn’t sure which one I should join as there are so many sites in the city. I was looking for a facility that would help Jett build his confidence, respect,discipline self esteem, and active listening. Action Karate Manayunk has provided all these thinds and more from day one.Jett has only been at Action Karate Manayunk less then six months and Jett has competed in competition and has had a belt change and I’m super grateful to Action Karate Manayunk I can honestly say hands that Jett looks forward to class and all that Action karate Manayunk has to offer him.

As a single mother of two I started to feel like my oldest needed more structure then what he was getting at home, I seen the as for first free class on Facebook for Action Karate and took the offer. First class was awesome an my son really enjoyed it! Very affordable pricing when it came down to signing him up everyone was very sweet an very understanding. The challenge for awhile was getting him there on time but with the help of his instructors and myself reminding him how important the classes are an he is striving and getting so good at the techniques I totally recommend and glad I made this decision 😊🤞🏽

I cannot speak highly enough of the kids karate class. My child was very nervous about starting karate, but the instructors were so patient and supportive that they quickly put my child at ease. Over time, my child's confidence grew, and I could see a positive change in their attitude towards challenges both on and off the mat.The instructors are all highly skilled and experienced in working with kids, and they create a safe, positive, and fun environment that encourages kids to try their best and push themselves to new heights. I am so grateful for the impact that this class has had on my child's confidence and self-esteem, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a supportive and empowering activity for their child. Thank you Action Karate!

Both my children have attended Action Karate Manayunk and have loved it; especially my daughter. They were able to work with her and her drive to succeed. She's been taking karate here for 3 years and is about to get her junior black belt at the age of 8. I can't recommend this center enough for their flexibility and willingness to teach your children grit and perseverance. These are critical skills she will definitely use all her life.

Action Karate Manayunk is so supportive of a diverse range of students, age and abilities. They also include special needs teenagers and young adults in the adult class, which is wonderful, but spend extra time getting to know those students and making sure they’re getting what they need. As a caregiver, they stay in touch with me about progress, and check in to see how we’re doing. So supportive and kind! Can’t say enough good things.

My son, who is autistic, had been asking to join a karate class. We got a recommendation to Action Karate in Manayunk and couldn’t be more pleased. They understand his issues and are able to have him successfully join the class, providing him with enough personalized instruction that does not take away from others in the class. We have noticed a positive change in his stamina and discipline. We live 45 minutes away and are more than willing to do the drive. The staff and the program are that good!

My son has been a karate student at this school since September 2019 and I can say nothing but great things about Action Karate Manayunk! He has felt welcomed since day one. My son's confidence and listening skills have greatly improved over the years. He looks forward to attending classes and seeing his friends. He has been so committed to black belt excellence that he is now in training to earn his junior black belt!

We started with Action Karate after winning 2 free weeks of classes and my 7 year old has been hooked ever since! He is excited to attend all his classes and he gets a great workout while learning essential self defense skills as well as character skills to help him not only develop in class but in home and at school as well! The staff is attentive and passionate about what they do! I was even inspired to take the free January parent classes! The quick pace and mix of martial arts and calisthenics provided a wonderful workout and has increased my strength and confidence in the short month alone! I recommend Action Karate to anyone and am so grateful they are part of our community!
