Action Karate Cinnaminson

On behalf (and as an extension) of the Ramsdell Family, I have to give Mr. Brenner and Mr. McQuade the biggest high five and Bao Quan.
As a fellow educator, I’m not whistling Dixie when I say these gents are the real deal. They mastered a huge class of kiddos (seemed to be about 40 – 50 wee ones), all of whom were rapt with attention and respect. They knew each individual student, addressed them by name, and paired them well for exercises. They obviously had a clear lesson plan going into the class, and executed it seamlessly. Each student was motivated to work diligently for their own advancement, and you could tell that they all wanted to make their instructors proud.
They also nailed the more intimate adult class that followed, with the help of one super awesome playlist of tunes.
They are also both very personable gents. Mr. Brenner came up to me the moment he saw me. He was welcoming, made direct eye contact, offered a firm hand shake, and was sincere. Mr. McQuade is cool, calm, and collected. Friendly chap. And both even made the time to come to my niece’s show that afternoon.
Lastly, I was blessed to witness a Belt Ceremony, which happened to be for a rather shy student. Mr. McQuade was nurturing and encouraging as he helped the young man recite their motto, and everyone — students and parents alike — ushered the lad into his White Belt stage in supportive, celebratory cheering.
It really doesn’t get better than this welcoming, warm, encouraging school offering quality education and self-​discipline. Any age and body type are welcome, without judgment. Sign up now!

Action Karate has had such a positive impact on my entire family. Both of my children have grown so much since beginning their training as martial artists. The instructors are such a positive influence in the kids’ lives, taking time to make sure that they are achieving excellence all around, not just within the dojo. They are stronger, better focused, and far more disciplined than they were before starting. As an adult student training for my black belt, I have never had the pleasure of training in a more accepting environment. Do not mistake me: this is the most challenging thing I have ever done and the instructors push me to extend my limits with every workout. But there is no judgement there. every instructor I have encountered truly believes his or her student WILL be a black belt some day. And that kind of encouragement cannot be measured. I have recommended Action to many people and will continue to do. It is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and for my kids.

I have trained at 3 different Martial Arts Schools. None, however, have had a greater impact on my life than Action Karate. Their instructors are friendly and ALWAYS positive. They understand how to teach using positive re-​enforcement, which for me is the most helpful motivator. Not only has my confidence grown ten-​fold since I began, but I have seen many students (both kids and adults) who were once considered «timid» or «weak» blossom into strong-​minded confident individuals. As you can imagine, this has undeniable benefits in the workplace, school, or any social setting. I would like to thank Action for everything they have done for me and I strongly recommend it for anyone who thinks they could benefit from more mental or physical strength for themselves or their kids.
