This place has been such a blessing to my children. Having children with special needs we had tried multiple places that claimed to be able to handle it, however never had any success. I was left with frustration and disappointment. I was reluctant at first to try another karate gym, however I'm so thankful I did. The whole experience has been so wonderful, the classes are well structured and taught appropriately. The staff has been beyond amazing in all they do to help my children gain success from the program and build confidence in themselves. I could not be happier to see my children feel so

My son started attending class there at age 4. He he now been there for the past 5 years and will be testing for his junior black belt. The instructors there are very professional and gear all of the lessons for the appropriate age group. And they always make it fun!! When they are little, they teach basic motor skills as well as listening and following directions. They also build confidence because they encourage students to lead the class. If you are considering karate, highly recommend giving them a try.

The staff at Action Karate Newtown are tremendous to work with. They helped our daughter grow in so many areas, not the least of which has been her confidence. Most importantly they have worked in partnership with us, to assist her in areas she faced challenges, and provided great feedback for us as parents on her progress. I can't speak highly enough about each instructor we have had the pleasure to work with.

Our son has taken karate since he was 5 years old at Action Karate. He has earned his Ninja Black Belt, Jr. Black Belt, and now our entire family has earned a first degree Black Belt. We are so thankful for the patience and encouragement of all the instructors. Karate is only a piece of the puzzle. Many life lessons are a taught each and every class. We have made many great friends through the years.
