My son started Action Karate back in 2020 and is on the verge of testing for his black belt. It has been a long journey and through that journey he has really has grown into a more confident, dedicated, and physically and mentally strong child.

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.

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.

Great teachers, and a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn about the rewards of hard work, patience, and perseverance.
