The foundation of the kids martial arts curriculum is the education and development of life-skills such as positive mental attitude, high goal-setting, perseverance, self-control and confidence. You want your child to have the tools to succeed in life! Whether you're interested in physical fitness, self-defense, or even an athletic social outlet, our school maintains a safe and positive environment for you to achieve your goals.
For children with special needs, the benefits of martial arts are invaluable because of the solid structure and discipline brought to a child's daily life. We start as early as age 2! Kinder Karate is a great way to introduce your child to the basics of balance, focus and self-control while socializing in a fun setting.

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.

I first started Karate in the beginning of 3rd grade, when I was 8 years old. I found out about action because while my mom was at the Newtown welcome day, she noticed that there was a new stand there for a new karate place opening up in Newtown (closest to me). She knew I was looking for a place to start karate at, so she asked me about it when she got home and I was ecstatic to finally be starting my long journey.
I remember my first class like it was yesterday, it was one of the best moments of my life. Action let me in with welcoming arms, and they helped me catch up with the rest of the class

I started with Action Karate Newtown at the age of 53. I have wanted to achieve a Black Belt rank in a Martial Arts discipline since I was 11. I wanted to inspire my son, also in karate, lose weight and improve my flexibility. The instructors at Action Karate Newtown assured me that they would do anything to help me achieve my Black Belt and have been as good as their word. I have lost 30 pounds,and am in much better shape at 57 then I was at 53. My son and I test for Black Belt on June 1.

I am 10 years old and have been doing karate since I was 5. Out of the 3 karate schools I went to, Action Karate is my favorite! I struggled with ADHD and sometimes lacked self-control. But since I went to Action Karate, I began to focus better and have more self-control. Over the years, I learned that "Wnners NEVER quit and quitters NEVER win." So now, I CHOOSE TO BE A BLACK BELT!

My husband and I started karate about 18 months after our first kid started. We are due to take our black belt test in about a month. Our journey to reach our goal could not have been possible were it not for the awesome instructors and other adults taking class at AK Newtown. This really is a studio that focuses on helping families, children and adults, be the best they can. If you are thinking about taking karate as an adult of for your child, this is the place to to.
Thanks to all at Action Karate(and my husband) for helping me to believe in myself and lifting me up when I needed encouragement
