Classes for Every Age, Every Goal, Every Child in Fairmount
Whether your child is 3 years old and barely staying still, or you’re an adult who’s been meaning to start for years, Action Karate Fairmount has a program built around where you are right now, and where you want to go.
Adult Martial Arts Classes
This isn’t a gym membership that collects dust. Adult classes at Action Karate Fairmount teach real self-defense skills, build genuine fitness, and put you in a room with people who actually show up. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, get stronger, or finally do that thing you’ve been putting off, the mat is waiting.
Kids Martial Arts Classes
Kicks and blocks are the vehicle. Confidence, focus, and respect are the destination. Our kids’ programs are built to develop the whole child: the one who listens the first time, raises their hand in class, and holds the door for strangers. Real skills, real growth, real results.
Ninja Sharks Ages 3 to 6 Classes
Your little one isn’t too young. They’re exactly the right age. Ninja Sharks uses high-energy games and age-appropriate challenges to build listening skills, body coordination, and the kind of early confidence that sets kids up for everything that comes next. Structured fun that parents can see paying off at home.
Special Needs Martial Arts Classes
Every child deserves to feel capable on the mat. Our instructors are trained to adapt their approach to different learning needs, sensory sensitivities, and developmental goals. We create an environment where every student is met with patience, encouragement, and genuine belief in what they can do.
Birthday Parties
Skip the bounce house chaos. Action Karate birthday parties are high-energy, instructor-led, and genuinely memorable, for the birthday child and every guest. Your child gets a celebration as special as they are, and you get to actually enjoy the party.

Meet the Team
Choosing a martial arts school is about more than the curriculum. Here’s why Bethlehem families train with us.
Rooted in Fairmount. Built on Results.
Action Karate Fairmount opened its doors in 2019 with one goal: give the kids and families of this neighborhood access to martial arts training that’s about more than kicks and punches. In the years since, we’ve become a consistent presence in the community, partnering with local schools, serving students from across the Philadelphia neighborhoods, and watching hundreds of kids grow into more focused, more respectful, more confident versions of themselves. This school belongs to Fairmount. The families here are the reason we show up every day.
Whether it’s a test at school or a new challenge on the mat, students learn that struggling is part of growing, not a sign they can’t do it.
Parents notice this one fast. The discipline built on the mat has a habit of following kids home.
You’ll see it in their posture, in the way they greet adults, in the moment they stop waiting for permission to try.
The friendships built at Action Karate are real ones, forged through shared effort, shared goals, and a lot of well-earned high-fives.

GESU
Our local character makes Action Karate Fairmount a go-to for many children’s after-school character development. If your child is growing up in Fairmount, Spring Garden, or the surrounding Philadelphia neighborhoods, we’re likely already serving families you know and we’d love for yours to be next.
Our Role in the Community
Action Karate Fairmount doesn’t just serve the neighborhood. We show up for it. We’ve built active partnerships with local elementary schools to bring free, high-energy martial arts classes directly to students who might not otherwise have access to this kind of programming.

From school workshops to summer camp programs — we’re out in the community every week.
