  My daughter has been attending Action Karate Whitehall since she has been 3. She is now 6 and has moved up to the Jr black belt classes. The staff and students are all great! Ever since starting her in karate she has learned more self control and respect. I couldn’t thank the staff enough. I cannot wait to see where the next 3 years takes us.

  My daughter has been going action karate for a year and as soon my son turned 3 I enrolled him in the ninja shark. Love miss Daniele, she is superb with the kiddos and the whole team is super supportive. They have a topic every week and children learn new every week. My kids love their karate class and they come to the class happy.

  I discovered my son had significant speech delay at a very young age. At around age three he was also diagnosed with Hypotonia which is muscle weakness, mainly in his wrist and ankles. He went through early intervention, speech, Pt and OT therapy etc..as a toddler but what now as a school age student? As any parent I had many questions like "will my child be able to learn to play sports, join a team or be friends with other kids. What's the best activity for him to help develop social skills?" One day in February 2019 I saw a post on Facebook about a new Action Karate School in my area. I reached out online but was a little hesitant about following through. I didn't want to set my son for failure knowing he wouldn't be able to follow the instructor moves or communicate with anyone due to his speech delay and shyness. I had no choice one day when Mr. Keffer gave me a call to follow up and that's where it all began. I signed my son up for karate after our private meet and greet. My son felt very comfortable and had a smile on his face, that's all it took to help me decide if this was the right choice for him. My son is now a total new and transformed child, he no longer covers his ears because it's noisy or loud. He has built strength and coordination. It took him about a year but now he is able to speak in front of others and even say the karate creed out loud along with the other students. My son struggled for many years in different areas and thanks to all the wonderful instructors, staff and peers my son has found his safe environment where he can continue to develop and show off every new skill he learns. This fall my son was able to paly soccer and he continued to impress me even more. He has also showed tremendous improvement in school. There are many benefits in martial arts, at Action Karate kids learn to coordinate their limbs, do specific stances and positions, develop strength while doing the blocks and punches with force and power. Instructors teach students how to have self discipline, respect, self control and to have fun. I can now describe my son as a confident young man who dedicates himself to keep pushing beyond his limits and not give up even when it's hard. My son will be testing for his Jr. Black Belt in mid December. This karate school provides a welcoming environment and are family oriented. Big shout out to Mr. Keffer, Miss. Daniele and the rest of the staff.

  Both of my sons have been doing karate there for over two years and me and my wife have been taking the classes for over a year. Mr. Keffer and his staff are the best instructors I have ever known. They excellent in what they do. They are very good with the kids and they are very family oriented. Action in Karate Whitehall is the best karate school in the Lehigh Valley.

  Before our son started at Action Karate he was shy, and lacked confidence. After his initial week we saw a big change in him. He started to believe in himself and was now being challenged. Ever since he has been getting A's and B's in school. He's confident, and enjoys the challenges he gets in class. He is now part of Demo Team, Black Belt Leadership, Certified SWAT (Special Winning Attitude Team), and will be testing for his Jr Black Belt in June 2021 (All this in 2 years). The Instructors are EXCELLENT with all the students (kids and adults alike).
