We have been sending our kids to Ryan Wagner for over the past 11 years. We have one first degree black belt and one about to receive his black belt and our final one just starting this past year. His morals and guidance is much more then karate skill set, he teaches confidence, respect and accountability. We love it there!
Best karate studio in the area, I have recommended to several of my nieces and nephews and they all love it! Master Ryan is highly skilled and extremely good with children, a combo I have only found at Achievement Unlocked
This place is amazing! My 6 1/2 year old son has extreme anxiety and this place has completely shown me how awesome a team can be. It’s been a struggle for him to start something new since day one and now he loves it and walks right into class! They are all very kind and the devotion they have to the kids is amazing. Highly recommend.
I have been taking my son to Ryan Wagners Achievement Unlocked since 2019. Master Ryan pushes his students to do their best while being positive, kind, caring and attentive. I have noticed a great change in my son. He has become more open minded, confident, and learned to socialize better in person which has become harder these days with technology. My son always leaves class with a more positive attitude. Miss Debbie at the front desk is a doll! She always greets every single student and parent with a smile on her face. I highly recommend.
I can not say enough wonderful things about achievement unlocked. My sons confidence and focus has grown tremendously! We are so grateful to be apart of such an outstanding martial arts school. Thank you Master Ryan & team!!!!
My son has grown so much and made some great friends. His confidence has grown and he has learned great moves. Master Ryan and Deb are absolutely awesome
What started out as a 6 week trial has turned into almost 4 years at AUMA. Thank you everyone at AUMA for an amazing experience. Master Ryan thank you for your dedication and commitment to each and everyone of your students.
Master Ryan, Miss Deb and the awesome staff run an amazing martial arts program. They always take good care of my son. He has learned so much and loves going to each and every class. Thank you guys! A++
Amazing school! Amazing instructors that care, respect and have patience for every student.They're not only taught self defense, confidence, but most importantly how to be good citizens. You can tell/see that Master Ryan loves what he does and loves all of his students. Ms. Deb is so loving and friendly, she greets every student by name upon entry. I'm glad we chose AUMA!
This a great start for 6-7y old to learn skills that will set them up for fun and must needed activity. Master Ryan does a great job at what he does and most importantly has fun with it.
I highly recommend this martial arts studio. The staff are very experienced and knowledgeable. They go out of their way for their students. Such a positive environment.
A phenomenal school where discipline and consistency and leadership are taught utilizing life principles combined with martial arts. I highly recommend this school.
My son has been attending Ryan Wagners Achievement Unlocked since 2019. Previously another studio all together, and it was not a good experience. However, with Master Ryan himself, the help, including Miss Debbie at the desk, everyone is kind, caring and attentive. While Master Ryan is charismatic and kind,
he is a great representation of ‘integrity’ and ‘discipline’. He teaches forms, culmination and combinations of Tang Soo do, he also instills amazing core values every child and adult should know and have. Everyone leaves each class with confidence and knowledge of self defense. I highly recommend.
Absolutely the best Martial Arts place. I’m always so grateful to have them in our lives. My son has been going for over 5 years, since he was 4yo, and we have no plans on stopping. Has always been his #1 sport. Extremely friendly instructors. Beautiful new location. So very clean. And.. Priced better than all other places in the area.
My granddaughter and I took lessons with Master Ryan and I would recommend it highly to anyone who would love to learn martial arts you cannot pick a better place
This place is by far one of the best martial arts schools in the area. Ryan Wagner and his instructors genuinely care for each and every student that enter their school. I wish there were 100 Ryan Wagners in this world, it would make it a better place to live.
My daughter began attending RWMA about a year and half ago. During this time time, I have definitely seen significant change in her from learning martial arts skills to displaying leadership abilities outside of the martial arts classes. Instructors are always highly energetic and keeps positive attitude. They further understand not all kids learn at the same pace.
My daughter started the dojang in 2013, she had so much fun and grew so much, I joined too. Even though I am approaching 50, I feel so accomplished with all that I have achieved here. I know I am more than just my membership dues, we are family. If you want to step out from the mundane and challenge yourself, join us!
Definitely a good return on investment. Over the past couple years I've seen major growth in my daughter's confidence, control, discipline, physical and inner strength, and critical thinking. Best of all she loves attending classes and I never feel like I'm pushing her to go.
I love coming here with my kids ever week. The staff is great, very friendly. I cant believe how much we have learned and accomplished in a little more then a year. This school is great for everyone. Never to old to try something new.
My son has been a part of this school for 6 years now and it truly has been an incredible experience for him during his formative years. Master Ryan and all the instructors are incredible with the children and have a real gift in their leadership skills. They say it takes a village to raise our children so this is the village where you want to be.
Looks like Google erased the over 150 5-star reviews from over the last 8+ yrs when Google changed platforms! I'd like to share my 5-star story....An RN friend suggested Ryan Wagner's Martial Arts & Fitness for my 10 y.o. based on her son's 7 yrs with Ryan and his phenomenal team of instructors. The core values instilled in the studio -- Integrity, Concentration, Perseverance, Respect and Obedience, Self Control, Humility, & Indomitable Spirit-- follow my son out the door into life, school, family and community. In less than 6 months his self-confidence and strength has soared with advances in skills, teamwork, self-defense and fitness. Ryan and all the instructors know each student as an individual, as family, what motivates them, and how to encourage them to reach their goals. They celebrate each student's achievements both in and outside the studio while challenging and helping each one see and reach their potential for ongoing growth and improvement. Truly life lessons here, not just a punch and a kick. You can tell by the enthusiasm of all the parents who stay for class to cheer on the students how great a difference it has made for the kids. Watching the students cheer for, encourage, challenge and help each other be the best they can be today makes me grateful that my son is studying martial arts at THIS studio. Watching all the older students and adults, beginners to advanced and black belts, come in enthusiastic for their classes too, I know my son is in THE right place to learn and grow for years to come!
Our daughter started taking classes here during summer camp, and she loved it so much that we signed her up permanently. I can't say enough about how much I love her classes. She's getting noticeably stronger and more fit, and she is increasing her perseverance and willingness to try new things. We're still working on focus, but I really like that they enforce their (fair and reasonable) expectations. The instructors do a fabulous job demonstrating, explaining, and working with the children. To be honest, I've never seen my daughter this excited about something. I can't wait to see what comes next as she continues to improve!
I started taking my son to Achievement Unlocked Martial Arts just over 2 years ago. At the time my 5 year old son could hardly do a push-up or a jumping jack. In the 2 years my son has been a part of this excellent program he has grown leaps and bounds both physically and in character. Master Ryan and his instructors deliver top notch instruction in both martial arts (Tang Soo Do & Hapkido) and life skills. The name Achievement Unlocked is no misnomer because they really do unlock your potential. There are more than enough superlatives and praise to heap on this Dojang, but I suggest you put them to the test and watch you or your child grow.
My son absolutely loves all of the instructors. Especially the owner, Master Ryan! He's a shy kid but since attending there he's come out of his shell. Not only are the kids learning martial arts, more importantly they are learning discipline to apply to everyday life.
I really enjoy going to classes here. The instructors are all excellent. They are encouraging and knowledgeable and always available for questions and help. Their enthusiasm is infectious and they really, truly want you to succeed and do your best.
My 5 year old son has been taking classes here since November and we have only positive things to say. He has learned so much. We had several reasons for signing him up.. One is for the practice in focus, and discipline, but the other is confidence. He is definitely getting all of that and more. He's small for his age, has been since he was born, and I like knowing he will have the confidence and ability to stand up for himself should the need ever arise (hopefully not). I also see how this place could benefit my oldest daughter who can have issues focusing on tasks, especially at home, and who seems to be a magnet for kids who aren't so nice. She doesn't have the self confidence to use her voice to tell others to pound sand - so we are definitely considering enrolling her.
Two years ago we went for an afternoon movie and strolled by the AUMA school and took a brochure... welp, best decision we ever made! My, at the time, newly 7 year old with extremely low confidence and no voice of his own... is now my newly 9 year old who lets everyone know he’s there, ready to tackle anything and is more sociable than I ever was as a kid. He started the trend with my kids and now all three of them attend! 9, 5 and 4- and its perfect for all of them. The instructors go above and beyond to ensure the kids are getting not only the physical aspect but the mental aspect and abilities of this art. I am proud to show off my kids anywhere we go ( brag much?) and always recommend this school to friends, and friends of friends! AUMA will always hold a place with our family and we hope our journey continues much longer!
The family of instructors at Achievement Unlocked Martial Arts was exactly what my daughter needed. We rarely have to encourage her to get ready for class or to practice and she always comes home in a better mood than in which she started. As an academic-focused child, we were looking for a physical activity that would catch and keep her interest. We found it over three years ago at AUMA! Since then my husband has also joined the adult class! What's our goal? Black Belt!
I love this place it's awesome they really take there time with my son he started as a white belt and moved up to orange belt with all the help of the workers he really love it to Ryan Wenger show my son how to stay positive they teach them manners yes sir and yes, ma'am. My son is so confident now in what he does because of this team ❤❤❤
The energy, enthusiasm, and the dedication to the students are incredible at this school. It is so well organized, clean ,and shiny. They always great you with a big smile and know all students by their name. It is a great place.
My daughter recently left this school after 3-1/2 years and I have to say this school is the best in the Philly/Bensalem area best instructors and Master Ryan is one awesome individual ...
They are great with helping the kids with self defense and all. My kids love it and made friends there as well. Ryan's martial arts classes gave all three of my kids the con finance they needed.
My son has been going here for the past 3 years. I have seen such growth in his character and his determination to meet his goals. He has learned discipline, focus and perseverance even when it’s hard. I love what Achievement Unlocked has done for my son and I would recommended it to anyone who wants to strive to be a better you.
I joined Ryan Marital arts and fitness back in 2013 as a way to get in shape and learn to defend myself. John Ford almost 7 years I am now a second-degree black belt. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else to stay in shape. Ryan Wagners Martial Arts & Fitness like a family they are always looking out for your best interest. In there when you need them. So if your looking for a place to get in shape and learn to defend you are looking at the right one. It is worth it.
I have so many positive things to say about Achievement Unlocked Martial Arts. I literally can go on and on.
We decided to bring our son about 7 months ago just to give Karate a try. We were looking for an activity for him to enjoy outside of school and we really liked the idea of him working on his focus and discipline. From our first visit we knew we had found way more than we could have imagined.
The instructors are so welcoming and friendly, we felt at home right away. Each one of them has a special way with the students and you can see the kids just light up and respond so well to them. (Adults as well... My husband and I took a few classes and we loved it. The energy in the class is amazing.)
Our son looks forward to every class and we are in awe of the change we see in him. He is learning so much more than karate and we are so thankful for all the work the team puts in with him.
I don’t think we would find anyplace like this, I can’t recommend it enough ❤️
I can't thank AUMA enough for all that it's done for me. Being a part of this school has not only helped me become physically stronger and more coordinated, it's also given me the opportunity to pursue things I never thought possible years ago.
If you're a parent, I can't recommend the programs at AUMA enough. Your child will become much more confident and disciplined while also acquiring self defense skills that can potentially help save their lives.
What an amazing program. I have watched my child grow in so many ways. He is now an advanced red belt and not once has he asked to quit karate. He has learned so much focus, determination, and skills. Best decision ever!
This is home to us, my son has been there for many years now and he has gained so much confidence, focus, perseverance, technique, and love for martial arts and every instructor there. Honestly, best decision we have ever made was to do the trial offer. I can’t recommend Master Ryan and his team enough, we love it there!!
I had signed my grandson up because he would be bouncing off the walls, I watched how well the Instructors worked with not only him but, with the other kids as well. Very professional I could tell they really enjoyed their job, I noticed a change in my grandson soon after. He was alot more focused more confident and alot calmer. flash forward 6 months and not only did I sign up but my daughter did as well It has been almost 2 yrs now, I am so blessed to be a part of this school Master Ryan, Mr. Kyle, Mr Tyler( and our new instructor) Ms Alison, They all strive to bring the best out of you, They really want you to succeed. The camaraderie in each class is great, Its a great work out A great learning experience,I highly recommend this school.Oh and when you call you will get the sweetest person of all Mrs.Debb.
This martial Arts school is amazing! We have both our sons in the program and it has not o my helped with fitness but also with their self confidence and believing in themselves. My oldest was always quiet but now he has found his voice and he has used his training in school as well to be able to have the confidence to answer questions and ask for help. My youngest has learn the power of waiting and how to remain still with focus. The instructers are so caring and really take the time to know each child and become their mentors in any area the children need help in or encouragement.
Absolutely Amazing! My son looks forward to each and every class! The instructors are so great with the children and make the classes fun BUT also teach respect and discipline! I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!
My son has been going here for a few months now and I have seen such a wonderful positive change in him he’s more confident and humble, boy do ever I love that word! Ever since master Ryan told they kids what it meant and why they should be humble I’m able to use it at home if needed and it works well. Also I could write a book on how awesome the instructors are I thank God for this place & if you ever thought about marshal arts this is your place.
Achievement unlocked is not just a dojang it's a family. My child has grown so much since joining almost 2 years ago. All the instructors are amazing and always make time to talk to the kids or help them with something they are having trouble with karate related or not. There are many different workshops and special Events available to both students and parents. This place is amazing! Karate with heart!
So very grateful for this martial arts school as I have seen an amazing change in my daughter since she’s been a student from September 2019. I have seen wonderful progress in other students here as well. The instructors do a great job in teaching so it really shows how strong-willed and dedicated the students are here. We drive from North Philly to Bensalem several times a week to attend class and it’s so worth it! Can’t wait to see the continued progress in everyone. So, if you’re looking for a place like this with so many amazing qualities for your child or for yourself, then sign up!
This school and their instructors have played an essential part in my sons growth and confidence. They know every child by name and truly make them feel important and as if they matter. The structure and leadership they offer their students is beyond appreciated. My child will grow up to protect himself and remain humble at the same time because of these leaders. They are part of my village and play a role in raising my son.
Achievement Unlocked is the best martial arts program in the Philly/Bensalem area. All the instructors are top notch and take pride in their instruction with all students. I cannot say enough great things about this school!
