When I learned that Penn Academies had a Yelp entry, I had to write a review to help guide others…read morelooking for a good self-defense school. There are so many self-defense schools out there and finding a good one is largely a matter of luck. We first met Grand Master Kirby four years ago when we stumbled into the Tae Kwon Do class that he teaches at the JCC. My son felt that my seven year old granddaughter needed to learn to defend herself and she needed to learn self-discipline. Sophia took to TKD like a duck takes to water! Master Kirby has a gift for teaching: he demands that his students respect him and work hard, but he cares about them and the kids know it. Almost five years later, Sophia is a second degree black belt and she has completed Master Kirby's air-gun, basic pistol, and use of force classes. Sophia can defend herself. She knows how to treat people with respect and she knows when she should switch from respect to defense mode. Because we chose to add gun training, she also knows how to handle a gun safely. Our whole family has attended Grand Master Kirby's NRA classes, we all know how to handle guns safely and now we all belong to a gun range. We live in the country where police response might be a bit slower than we'd like, but thanks to Grand Master Kirby, I'm pretty sure that we can take care of ourselves. Every month or so, Grand Master Kirby turns to the parents (and grandparents) and asks them why they are sitting there instead of learning beside their children. During Sophia's third year I finally realized that I was always complaining about not having time to go to the health club - but I was faithfully driving Sophia to Tae Kwon Do three times a week. Once again,Grand Master Kirby was right - I am now a blue belt AND I AM NO LONGER TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE. For a chubby granny who had a stroke ten years ago, this is amazing. My grandchildren are not growing up in the world that I grew up in. I believe that in today's world, children need to understand self-defense. If you want your children to learn to be safe, or if you want to learn to become safe - Penn Academies is the best choice because of the wide range of training that they offer and the depth of the instructors' expertise.

Stan is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what he does. I have grown so much in my skills and confidence since starting these classes. The techniques are practical and effective, and the workouts are challenging but also fun. I always leave feeling like I have accomplished something and have improved each time. If you are looking for a self defense class that will not only teach you valuable skills but also boost your overall fitness and confidence , then this is the place for you. I give it five stars and cannot imagine training anywhere else.

This place and their instructors are truly EXTRAORDINARY! I searched around for quite a while…read moreuntil I found a place I felt comfortable with for my AUTISTIC son to take classes. I chose them because they made me feel comfortable about them being willing to work with my son's special issues. Well they really have made this possible for him but I am so THANKFUL that I found them because not only have they made it possible for him to take the classes with his special needs but they have let him just be one of the students in the class, he is never given a second look or treated differently because it may take him a little longer to learn something or may be a bit awkward while learning, he is just a part of the class for probably the first time in his life! Even the other students during class or while pairing up to practice whatever the case may be treat him no different, IT IS WONDERFUL! It brings TEARS TO MY EYES as any parent of a special needs child I'm sure would be able to understand, seeing him getting to be just another child in the class. Also besides teaching martial arts they teach HUMAN DECENCY which is so overlooked in this day and age, the students are taught to respect one another and themselves, not just how to kick or punch which I found to be such a great and surprising addition to the martial arts he's learning there. I guess you could say we went for the martial arts but have gotten SO MUCH MORE! And included with his membership they include a FREE BIRTHDAY PARTY for each student so my son got to CELEBRATE his 15th birthday recently with family and friends, with some fun Taekwondo moves for everyone plus lazer tag, dodgeball and some other activities! We had a great time and lots of laughs together! To top it off, my son cut his cake with a Samurai sword! Haha! THIS IS THE PLACE!!!
