Kids Martial Arts Classes

Our kids’ programs aren’t just about kicks and forms, they’re about teaching children how to carry themselves. Students in our Kids’ Classes learn discipline, focus, and respect in a structured, fun environment. Parents regularly tell us: the mat is where it happens, and the dinner table is where they see it.

Ninja Sharks Ages 3 to 6 Classes

Three-year-olds have big feelings and even bigger energy. Our Ninja Sharks program channels that energy into something incredible: age-appropriate movement, listening skills, and early confidence-building in a safe, encouraging space. Classes are short, structured, and designed for the way small children actually learn: through play, repetition, and joy.

Why Action Karate

Why Action Karate Collingswood?

We’re not just another after-school activity. We’re the place where Collingswood kids show up shy and leave standing taller.

A Community School

Action Karate Collingswood has been part of this neighborhood since 2022. We know our students by name, we know their struggles, and we celebrate every breakthrough from the first cartwheel to the black belt ceremony. Our space was literally built inside a former church, and we carry that spirit of community into every class we teach.

Instructors Who Actually Care

Sensei Tariq Boston is a 2nd-degree black belt with 8 years in martial arts and 7 years teaching at Action Karate. He came from a background of football, baseball, and track and chose martial arts because he saw how it changes people. Every class he teaches is an extension of that mission: spreading the joy of martial arts and giving students the confidence they carry for life.

Proven Results for Kids of All Abilities

We serve students from across Collingswood, Haddonfield, Camden, and surrounding communities, including students with special needs, students who've never tried anything like this before, and students who started as quiet kids in the back row and are now leading the class. Our track record speaks for itself.

Our Space

The Ideal Space to Learn and Grow

A high-energy training environment with room to move, grow, and belong, tucked inside one of Collingswood’s most character-filled buildings.

I 10000% recommend Action Karate in Collingswood. They are amazing instructors. I love the way they teach their students. Very patient, friendly and funny. They make you feel welcome and like family. My daughter has somewhat trouble in making friends, but since she started Action Karate she has been motivated to meet new people and also to defend herself.

My 4-year-old loves the Ninja class. The instructors are phenomenal. They meet each child at their level and build their confidence and instill discipline. Each class is structured in way that keeps the kids engaged, yet challenged. I would recommend Action Karate to any parent.

Hey Hey!! I would love to give my Action Karate Family a huge shoutout for welcoming my daughter and I to the family! It has truly been a blessing signing my child up for self defense classes, she is now thriving in every part of her life. You all are great leaders who encourage and installs the fundamentals of learning, in a healthy and rich way of form. Thank you

Everyone at Action Karate has made my daughter (and my family) feel like part of their team. It’s been that way since her first day. The instructors are clearly committed to teaching children and do a really great job at giving attention to each child in the class. My daughter has learned physical skills but also grit, respect and discipline. We love Action Karate!

My family LOVES Action Karate! It’s a wonderful and welcoming community that embraces all skill levels, but still encourages focus, hard work, and a growth mindset. A bonus: super duper fun birthday parties!

We love this place...our son started from a Halloween giveaway. He has now been enrolled for 3 months and is a yellow belt. His sensei is well educated and hands on with the kids. We're enjoying our journey to the black belt. We joined to learn how to deal with bullies and ended up learning so much more. This maybe the best thing for your child too! Check it out!

We measure success differently here. Yes, belts matter. But what really counts is the kid who listens the first time, the teenager who helps a younger student without being asked, and the adult who shows up at 6 AM because they made a commitment to themselves. That’s what we’re building.

We work hard to make Action Karate accessible to every child, including students with special needs. Our partnerships with Lucy Outreach, Rutgers Future Scholars, and the Camden CMO are not afterthoughts. They’re part of who we

There’s something special about training in a former church. The high ceilings, the sense of purpose in the walls, it gives our dojo a character you can feel the moment you walk in. We didn’t just open a location. We built a home for Collingswood families.

We’ve been part of this community since 2022, and we’ve already built relationships with seven local organizations, three schools, and a growing roster of families who’ve watched their children transform in ways they didn’t expect.

I love being able to spread the knowledge and joy of martial arts and to give students confidence.

FAQ

FAQs Got Questions? We've Got Answers. Here are the things Collingswood families ask us most.

What is the style of martial arts that you teach?

At Action Karate Collingswood, we teach Tang Soo Do — a Korean martial art that builds coordination, respect, discipline, and genuine self-defence skills alongside the character traits that stay with students long after class. This location has an unusual and distinctive home: a converted historic church building that gives the school a warmth and presence unlike most martial arts facilities. We've been part of the Collingswood community since 2022 and are building strong roots here.

When can I attend classes at Action Karate Collingswood?

We offer classes across the week for students of different ages and schedules. Use the form on this page to get our current timetable.

What should I wear to my first class?

Nothing special for your first visit to Action Karate Collingswood. Comfortable clothing you can move in is all you need. Your uniform (gi) is included in the $49 intro offer. Bare feet on the mat, no shoes required.

Who are the classes suitable for?

Collingswood runs programs from age 3 through to adults. We serve families from Haddonfield Friends School, J Fithian Tatem Elementary, Mark Newbie School, Sharp Elementary, and Collingswood Middle and High School. Our community partnerships include Haddonfield Friends, J Fithian Tatem, Collingswood PreK Program, Lucy Outreach, Rutgers Future Scholars, Camden CMO, and Cramer Hill Community Center — a genuinely diverse set of community connections for a school still in its early years.

Where is Action Karate Collingswood located, and is there parking?
