I have had such a positive and enriching experience at LVMA-Palmer. Sendai and Deshis are hands on, encouraging, and amazing at positive reinforcement. Thank you for making it such a safe and supportive environment for my kids to learn and thrive!

Our daughter has been going to LVMA for almost a year and loving it. She has learned so many great skills and has greatly improved her confidence. All of the instructors are fantastic, understanding, easy going, funny and our daughter loves participating and assisting with the lessons. Highly recommend LVMA for any age or skill level.

My child has been coming to this school for almost 4 years. It has been an amazing experience and we are excited to see what his future holds at this school. He has gone from a wild and crazy 3yr old to a semi-less wild almost 7yr old. They have taught him so much, not just self defense but manners, respect and self discipline. I thank this school for helping him grow into an amazing kid!!

My son has been attending Lehigh Valley Martial Arts for a couple of months now and is having a fantastic time. Instructors are patient, encouraging and really know how to connect with kids when teaching important skills. I highly recommend this place to any parent looking to help their child build character and learn skills in a positive setting.

Love the Lehigh Valley Martial Arts Family! My son has been a member since he was a little Ninja at 3 1/2 and now he is almost 9. Bringing my son to LVMA has been the single best thing we have done as parents. His listening skills, his respect for himself and others, and his willingness to try challenging tasks increase every week

My 2 children (age 8 and 5) enrolled in the beginner class. They both really enjoy it and look forward to it. Taking karate classes has definitely boosted my son's confidence in such a short amount of time. The LVMA staff are so friendly and helpful.

Both my daughter and I attend and can honestly tell you it is something I honestly look forward to going to on our scheduled days. Watching my daughter grow but also to destress after a long day In the adult classes for myself. Iβve recommended a friend and their child and to whom ever reads this comment I recommend 10/10 for you to do it as well.

My 7 year really enjoyed the class. The class was made fun at the same time teaching the important values, discipline, following simple instructions while giving them basic training and workout. The staff are so friendly and very professional. They treat all their students kindly. I can see kids respect them as well. Their class starts and ends on time consistently. They also have a convenient location (in Easton)and with good parking area. So far I have nothing negative to comment other than itβs a bit pricey- thatβs the only downside for me. As much as my son love the class, and Iβm happy so far with them, but Iβm not sure how far we can stretch this. Unfortunately, thatβs a big factor for me.

Absolutely love this Studio ! I took my son too at least 3 different Karate studios before we found LVMA, my son was struggling some things at school (conference , self control and fallowing direction) putting him in this school has been the best thing for him ever. They hold everyone accountable for them selfs, everyone is treated equally. I think what I love the most is that the karate doesn't just stop when you leave the dojo, thereβs homework that is expected to be completed. It really helps keep a positive mindset and attitude. All the staff is really personal and work hard to have a relationship with you and your children.

My daughter started back in May in the Little Ninjas program. It was a rough start at first but Sensei, Deshi, Miss Jess, the team, and families really helped with the transition. The atmosphere is very family-like, which put me at ease. My daughter has her moments for sure, but everyone is so patient and helpful. She loves the instructors and she loves showing off what she learns at home.
They're very structured. They make it fun for the students. We love that the older students help out too.
We are sad to be leaving due to a move, but would absolutely recommend LVMA to anyone interested in starting. Words do not express how wonderful they are here!

My son has been in Karate for 1 year now. He started in little ninjas class. Now he's in the intermediate class. I like to thank Sensei Jake Lynch and Deshi Weeks for bringing my son to where he is today. My son is working toward his high orange belt. He wants to achieve his black belt and eventually wants to become a Sensei himself one day.

My daughter has attended LVMA for over 6 years and they have the friendliest, most helpful staff of any business I've ever encountered. When the pandemic hit, they were quick to adjust to the changes around them and adapted extremely well. Their cleanliness was of a high standard before the pandemic, and is even higher now! They are very family oriented and I couldn't be happier with our decision to attend their school.

My daughter started in the Little Ninja program when she was 4 and we loved it. She has since progressed through the basic and intermediate classes, and with the guidance of Sensei Jake and his staff, has earned a high brown belt. Sensei Jake does an outstanding job with all age groups. The expectations for technique, attitude, and work ethic is appropriate for all levels we have experienced.
Harper loves coming to class each week because they make the learning fun, and challenging enough to keep students engaged. They do a great job of knowing each studentβs needs and they offer private tutoring in addition to weekly classes to focus on areas of weakness.
I love this place because it reinforces character traits that I value. I highly recommend checking them out.

My daughter started karate at LVMartial Arts in Feb 2019 with her friend when they were 5 years old. She was VERY shy initially. She got her white belt at the end of that month. Now, about a year and a half later, she has advanced to a red belt. It has been absolutely amazing to see her transform from that timid little girl into a confident Peaceful Warrior with great form, high kicks and awesome nunchuck skills. She has become a go-getter and works hard to get to the next level. The discipline and life skills taught through karate will benefit her for life. The staff is amazing! The senseis and higher belts are very patient and easily keep track of all the students and their progress right at the top of their heads. They genuinely care about all of their students and never forget a name. They also have lots of fun events like Trunk or Treat at Halloween. The graduation ceremonies are moving and awesome to watch with each belt level putting on a show. It has been a wonderful experience and we look forward to watching our daughter grow and mature into a black belt. I am so glad we signed her up at Palmer LVMA and we are happy to call them our karate family.

I have been attending Tai Chi classes at LVMA for almost a year now, and it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I find I am calmer, and more energetic as I continue to learn this centuries-old martial art.
I've also been learning proper body movements that I can regularly apply to everyday life, which has helped greatly stave off my knee and lower back pain that I have until only recently had to deal with regularly.
The entire staff is very knowledgeable in what they teach, and come across less as a group of instructors and more as a close-knit family. More importantly, they make you feel like you are also a part of the family as you continue to learn by them.
It also must be a hiring requirement there that every staff member must have a great sense of humor. In every class I have attended, or in the others I've watched, everyone has fun as they learn.
I'm very glad that I found LVMA, and I plan to attend for many years.

I've been taking Tai Chi for over 2 years and have enjoyed every minute. The instructors are dedicated, knowledgeable and patient. They answer all my questions taking time to explain and demonstrate to insure understanding of a topic or concept. I've found the school to provide a complete learning experience.

My grandchildren attend LVMA Daycare. The pride my 5 year old grandson exhibits while showing us his karate moves is priceless. His Kindergarten teacher is helping him to enjoy learning. He is an energetic child and all his teachers have helped him to channel that energy in a positive way.

Great place for children and adults. Very friendly people. Make new friends treated as a close family. Teaches morals and self desipline as well as compassion for others. Great exercise while learning to defend yourself. Everyone are treated as equals no matter your level. Children and adults are all welcomed much is offered.
