Do you believe in miracles? I don't believe it because I know that miracles really exist,…read moreespecially if the miracle happened in your own life, with your child, so it is thanks to Chang karate school in Warminster. Grandmaster Chang and his educational system miraculously transformed and improved the abilities and inner space of my daughter's personality. When my daughter was five years old, preschool teachers told me that my daughter had learning issues, behavioral stuff, a short attention span, and all of it. Information that my daughter had a massive problem with focus shocked me. So I had only one way to change the situation, so I began looking for a school of Martial Art to improve her focus. I read a lot of beautiful advertisements about different karate classes around my neighborhood but I tried to check them by visiting there. So most of them looked like clubs of karate lovers, but not as a severe sport of martial Art. I checked almost all courses of martial Art offered around, and I almost gave up on finding any way for my daughter to improve her focus. I was disappointed because the classes I mainly saw were cheat-chatting, no judo, no kata, and no solid physical activity, but only birthday parties and awards. I already despaired of finding something honorable for my daughter but once I accidentally chanced upon the sign on York Road in Warminster - "Chang Karate School." So with suspicion, I tried to look at Chang Karate School. Wow! What I saw when I arrived at that school, blew my mind, so that was the school that I was looking for, so there was real karate art! In class, among students with white, yellow, green, and red belts there were several training boys and girls of 13-18 with black belts on their kimonos; and their bodies were dangerous weapons. All of them were focused and disciplined, their bodies were flexible and robust. Their kicks, movements, and state of mind were pretty impressive. Grandmaster Chang invited my daughter to attend a free trial class. Grandmaster Chang is a teacher from God because he absolutely knew how to fix a problem with my daughter, so he developed a unique right curriculum for her. In the past, Grandmaster Chang was a professional fighter and an army trainer in Korea. He's the bearer of Tan So Do knowledge (Tan So Do - the name of the Art), Eastern wisdom, and profound ethical principles. My daughter enrolled to begin school without hesitation, and I was not mistaken about the choice. My daughter got progress and success, so as a result, she improved her focus! So now in elementary school, my daughter is in regular classes with regular children and no longer needs special courses. Teachers asked me what we were doing to improve her focus, and strongly recommend to continue to do that activity. But the tangible result is her math improvement; her school testing rate jumped from absolute zero (it wasn't even F because before, she could not begin her tests) to A! Her problem with a focus completely disappeared. It's a miracle. She is singing, playing guitar, reading thick chapter books by herself, doing a nice drawing, and even beginning to play chess (this game needs increased attention). It's a miracle. But the way to success is not easy, so we spent four long years getting the first result. I sincerely appreciate Grandmaster Chang for my daughter for his hard work to change her and my life. P.S. I monitored my daughter's progress for six months and was impressed by her development, so after that, I enrolled by myself. But it's my personal transformation and it's a different story. Vitaly K.

The discipline in our school is what sets us apart from all of the other schools. I had looked at other schools before coming to Chang Karate School, but knew that this was the right school as soon as I met Grandmaster Chang. He knows exactly how to draw-out the best from each student based on their individual physical and emotional abilities. He is wonderful with the children. Additionally, we learn skills that carry over into day-to-day life. All 3- of my kids and 1- of my granddaughters have trained at the school. I highly recommend Chang Karate School. Mark

From the moment my oldest (now 10) was 3, the instructors patiently worked with him (sometimes as he was literally running around the mat) on self control, discipline, and confidence, and to this day I am amazed at his step by step progression from listening and focusing better, to increasingly raising his hand and volunteering, to more recently becoming part of the junior leadership team as well as the junior demo team (which he loves so much, I don't need to ask him to practice). My son also received personal support from the head instructor in dealing with bullying, which now my son can confidently deal with. The instructors are truly caring and supportive, and genuinely want to see their students grow and learn; they also instill a passion for learning and continuous self improvement in their students, and the focus on grit and resilience that is woven throughout the curriculum is so crucial to learning life skills. I now have all three of my children at the school and am a student myself; it is truly our "third place" and I am so grateful for the community here at Action. I love how my kids and I have each made new friends at the school, and we look forward to seeing all the families at Action Karate's many community events. It really is amazing, all the benefits we have gotten from stepping onto the mat!

Since they started, both have become more disciplined and focused, not just in class but at home and in school too.

The instructors create a fun and challenging atmosphere where students are encouraged to push through tough moments without giving up. We've really enjoyed being part of the Action Karate, and highly recommend it for other parents considering karate for their family.

It has been a positive experience for both and the homework for character stripe and leadership stars reinforces what is taught in class. For my now 9-year-old, the anti-bullying techniques are very helpful. Her pitching coach has even commented on how her focus has improved since last summer. I was so impressed that I also started classes and the adult team is just as welcoming as the kids' team. It had been a long time since I did any regular exercise, but they work with you at your level. Being on the mat with all skill levels really drives you to push yourself. My energy and cardio levels are really improved, I've lost weight and am eating better too. The instructors are awesome and truly encourage everyone to reach their full potential. I recommend this for both kids and adults.

I liked it so much that I asked to go there for karate lessons. I liked it as a white belt, but then I had to go onto zoom karate because of the pandemic. I took karate for a few belts. But in the middle of my brown belt I started up at karate in person it was easier and much more fun. Now as a red belt I am going through the Black belt challenge and if I pass I will get to be in the adult class. I cannot wait to go into the adult class.

The school's lineage traces back directly Master Ip Man. I found it interesting that this snake crane style was originated by a Chinese woman a few hundred years ago. The system teaches principles of simultaneous defense and attack. Focusing hands and feet on the centerline of body. The style uses body physics and efficiency of energy to over come a much larger.... stronger opponent. I was impressed by the physical conditioning exercises, application drills and the over all interaction in the room. It was a much better martial arts experience than I have had in the past. This is something you can practice as a child or even in your old age. I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.
