Martial Posture is a fantastic place to send your kids to learn self defense, tricking, and life skills. The owner Ish is an amazing person and great teacher. I worked there for a brief time and while I was there I saw Ish and the other instructors teach the kids complex and fun physical skills while also imparting life lessons and mental skills. I saw the kids grow into stronger more confident young men and women and I would strongly recommend any parent interested in having their kids learn a self defense art or are just looking for an after school or weekend activity to send their kids to Martial

My son attends after school care and karate classes at Martial Posture. We both absolutely love it. The instructors are amazing -- they instill discipline and technique in a thoughtful and respectful manner. The kids learn by example the importance of care for each other and confidence in themselves. While my son has progressed in his training most importantly I've watched his confidence grow and spill into how he tackles school, sports and challenges in general.

Great martial arts instruction and practice in a safe, supportive atmosphere. Adult classes are vigorous exercise combined with careful, intense, expert training. Ish, the owner and chief instructor, believes in practical self-defense techniques. His training and classes are based on a wide range of martial arts theory. No stifling dogma and ceremony here!
The students are decent, bright, high quality people from various walks of life and age groups.

Martial Posture is a great place for karate instruction. There is a wide range of students here, from little teeny white belts as young as 4 all the way up to big tall black belts, and everything in between. Located at 21st and Chestnut, this is a convenient location for Center City residents -- close to parking, mass transit and many restaurants.
Classes are held for each level on Saturdays and two days during the week (some M&W, others T&Th). For $99 you get eight lessons a month, which you can take whichever days you want. This flexibility has been very helpful.
