From the reviews
Our family loves this karate studio! After trying several others, it was clear that Action Karate was the right vibe for us. Super friendly and fun, not intimidating. The instructors are so kind, knowledgeable, engaging, and patient — especially with the littlest ninjas.
As a parent of children with special needs it’s always difficult to find a place where there is not just understanding, but acceptance and patience. A lot of places may state they work with children with special needs but there is so many varying factors when it comes to needs/support.
My son has been with Action Karate Collingswood since January of 2023 and he is loving it!! He has moved up two belts and been able to participate in a tournament already in these 5 months since. The instructors at Action Karate are top notch and you can really see they have a genuine passion for what they do!
We love this place...our son started from a Halloween giveaway. He has now been enrolled for 3 months and is a yellow belt. His sensei is well educated and hands on with the kids. We're enjoying our journey to the black belt. We joined to learn how to deal with bullies and ended up learning so much more.
New to Karate? Start at Action Karate Collingswood
Action Karate Collingswood comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Action Karate Collingswood
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
