Martial arts build muscles you never even knew you had. It’s a full-body workout combining cardio and resistance to build lean muscle, fast.

You’ll also boost your energy as your cardio increases, boost your coordination & balance, and get more flexible, too.

These Philadelphia adult martial arts classes are calorie-crushing, action-packed sessions.

It’s More Than Self-Defense. It’s a Way of Life.

In our Philadelphia adult martial arts classes, we don’t just help you get fitter, safer, and stronger. We help you build life-changing skills to excel at life – in your relationships, career, and family.

Focus. Confidence. Discipline. Goal setting and more. Every adult martial arts class in Philadelphia enriches you and makes you stronger – inside and out.

We also help you stay safe with real-world self-defense. These are tactics that work even against attackers larger than you.

Melt Stress. Relieve Pain.

An amazing side-effect of our Philadelphia adult martial arts classes is stress & pain relief. The full-body workouts erase stress from your body.

The core-building martial arts techniques help your body function as it was meant to – meaning less strain on your back, neck, shoulders, and knees. Stretching and muscle-building improves range of motion. Improving oxygen flow is known to reduce Cortisol levels, or stress hormone, in the body.

Plus, after such awesome workouts, you’ll sleep better too.

“Excellent dojo & phenomenal Sensei. Inviting to all ages wanting to learn the art of self defense both mentally and physically. It has been very empowering to personally learn from this dojo about situational awareness and focusing on avoiding and de-escalating dangerous situations before they happen.”

“Great School, Training, and Staff. Highly recommended will help build your self confidence.“

“I feel more aware of my stand, punch, kick, and footwork. My classmates are very friendly as well! They are buff haha but very friendly. Most of them were former military. I definitely will study here again!”

“I have been a student at this dojo for over 10 years. I started class thinking I would take it for a while, while I enjoyed it and got something out of it. 10 years later I am still growing and learning and enjoying Sensei John McGonigle and his excellent classes.”

“I have been a student of Sensei John McGonigle’s for almost 5 years. I’ve seen a lot of people start at the dojo, and it doesn’t matter if it’s your first day or your 5th year, everyone is treated with respect and encouraged to do their best.“

“Great place to learn! John’s a wonderful teacher, very professional and knowledgeable. I’d recommend MAHF to anyone!”

It's the will. Not the skill.

Your starting fitness and skill levels don’t matter – as long as you put in the effort in every class, you’ll see results.

Gain Confidence

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our adult martial arts program in Philadelphia

Are these adult martial arts classes beginner friendly?

Yes! Almost all of our students had no experience at first. Yet with dedication and martial arts training, they’ve become amazing athletes and martial artists. We’ll help you get there too.

What do I need to bring to my first lesson?

When you first arrive at Martial Arts Hero Factory of Philadelphia – all you need are some comfy athletic clothes and a water bottle. We’ve got the rest covered.

You might be nervous about your first class. That’s perfectly normal! As soon as you see how kind and welcome the instructors and other students are – that nervousness turns into excitement.

I’m not very athletic, will I feel left out?

No matter your fitness level, you can train here. In martial arts – adults are in a group environment, but every one of us is on our own unique journey. You can go at your own pace. Some advance faster, others slower. That’s okay.

What’s important is that you’re having fun, challenging yourself, making friends, and growing stronger inside and out.

The coordination, strength, and speed comes with time – even in those who are not ‘natural athletes’!

Will martial arts help with ADD/ADHD?

Absolutely. While there is no ‘cure’ for ADD or ADHD, it can be managed. Our Philadelphia adults martial arts classes help you develop the tools you need to maintain focus & concentration. It is especially helpful when you’re trying to do multiple tasks that divide your attention. Through following instructors, Philadelphia martial arts techniques, and mastering moves, adults develop tools to stay focused and on track.

What’s different about different martial arts styles?

If you’re looking at adult martial arts classes in Philadelphia you’ve likely come across Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and more. Karate, Taekwondo, and Muay Thai focus on striking (punches, kicks, knees, and elbows). Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on grappling (wrestling with locks and grabs). It’s important to know how to both strike and grapple for the best self-defense.

I have a lot of pain, limited range of motion and mobility – is martial arts right for me?

Our martial arts instructors are caring and attentive to every student’s concerns. Suffering from lower back pain, neck & shoulder pain, joint stiffness, or muscle weakness will likely not prevent you from having a fun, fulfilling class.

We’re not medical professionals, so any serious concerns should be discussed with your doctor first– but we are typically able to give you alternate exercises that don’t affect pre-existing injuries and honor your limits so you still have a great experience.
