From the reviews

Before our son started at Action Karate he was shy, and lacked confidence. After his initial week we saw a big change in him. He started to believe in himself and was now being challenged. Ever since he has been getting A's and B's in school. He's confident, and enjoys the challenges he gets in class.

My 14 year old daughter is autistic. A studio near our home initially said they would accept her, only to later say they did not have the capacity to give her the extra attention she would need. She was crushed. On a whim I made an appointment with Keith Keffer of ACTION KARATE in Whitehall.

★★★★★ — Robert, Feb 2024

Action Karate Whitehall continues to be a place where my daughter feels confident! She came to a few “Buddy Weeks” with a friend and wasn’t sure karate was the right fit. Then suddenly she decided she wanted to give it a try and she was hooked! Mr.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Apr 2024

I truly love this place my boys Caleb and Colby had a blast. I Love that they are involved in the community. The kids not only worked on learning about karate they were learning respect, discipline, cleanliness and kindness. The staff were always friendly yet stern and understanding when needed.

Your first Karate class at Action Karate Whitehall

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
