Jamison Action Karate

I am from out of town and decided to try out a lesson with Sara. At first the moves didn’t seem to be that difficult, but as we progressed with the lesson, it started getting harder. As I am not the most flexible, the high kick was challenging for me. Though Sara took the time and patience to show me different ways of doing the move so I wouldn’t get hurt. Her expertise in karate is also apparent, as she is able to teach so many different people of different skill levels. I suggest if anyone comes down for a lesson, they should ask for Sara!!!

I started at Action Karate Jamison when I was only 9 years old, and I fell in love with it immediately. For the past 12 years, karate has been the only constant factor in my life as I explored new interests in various sports and other extracurricular activities. Even today as a full time college student, I am able to train and teach and see first hand how being a part of the Action Karate family has made waves in my life and in who I am as a person today. Sensei Michael, Mr. Hodum, Mr. M and Ms Ashlee are the best mentors I could have ever asked for, and I look to them today as I navigate career opportunities and other big life changes. Action Karate Jamison has truly made me the person I am today, and I will always thank my parents for signing me up and continuously pushing me to reach my goals.

We have been a part of the AK family since 2019, when my oldest child was a little over 3 years old. The staff at AK worked with my son at several classes before we officially joined, and at the time my son was not motivated and was reluctant to follow instructions (as many 3 year-olds are). Fast-forward to 2022, my oldest and middle (4 1/2 y.o.) sons are both at AK Jamison, and eager to participate, learn, and excel! They have both done tournaments, and it is amazing to see them reciting the kata in front of judges and an audience. AK Jamison truly is a family; not just for members, but for the whole community- they frequently have free community classes and events during holidays. Each of the staff members makes a point to assist any and every student during every class, in order to perfect their skills- whether it be a martial arts move, an exercise, or simply sitting or standing still with patience and discipline. My oldest is now frequently raising his hand to volunteer for demonstrations or to answer questions, and has led the class in the student creed. I am constantly amazed at how far he's come, and I can't wait to see my youngest (daughter, currently almost 2) perform at AK Jamison.

They are truly devoted to the children that they teach. They are focused on teaching life lessons and discipline in a very thorough manner. Every young child seems to understand and absorb the lessons that they teach which can be very difficult when dealing with kids. Kudos to the Action Karate family and thank you for making us feel at home!!!

The Instructors are extremely enthusiastic , exude positivity, and are engaging with all the students My daughter is on the Autism Spectrum and attempting to earn her Black Belt. They have welcomed her, understanding her unique challenges. She is treated as any other student but if she needs a little extra assistance, they take the time to see she fully grasps the techniques involved. Her confidence and physical abilities has grown further than we could imagine
Highly recommend taking a look at Action Karate at any one of their locations for your child's Martial Arts experience (ok Adults too) .
