During sessions, students deploy hooks, jabs, and kicks against targets, challenging muscles throughout the entire body.
Karate instructors impart techniques from tae kwon do, krav maga, and MMA during classes for students aged 5 and up. As they teach a repertoire of strikes and blocks, they emphasize building values, such as self-confidence and discipline, alongside sound form. See the schedule.<p>

The roots of these teachings span from Korea to China, boasting both ancient efficacy and enough adaptability for modern martial arts.

The gym also features yoga classes for all levels and fitness backgrounds. The instructors guides groups through fluid movements that promote flexibility, core strength, balance, and mental control. They use their years of experience and knowledge to work with students to achieve their fitness goals, whether it be weight loss, muscle gain, definition, or technique. They are located throughout the Philadelphia and Delaware Valley area, with locations in Aston, Southampton, Paoli, Swarthmore and Glen Mills.
