Magnus Karate is an extremely well run dojo. Its rare to find a combination of traditional, high quality training combined with smart business operations and reliable instruction. Youll get the best of both worlds here.
Mike Pannulla makes everyone feel welcome and valued in this school, which is more a community, a family atmosphere. Beyond just real life-protection skills, Mikes students - of which I am honored to be among - come away with so much more. Discipline, mental, physical, and emotional strength, confidence; a sense of belonging. At a true school, you never stop learning, never stop growing, and Magnus Karate allows for your growth not just martially but personally as well. I wouldnt be who I am today without Mikes friendship and guidance in my life. Allow him an opportunity to positively impact your life too; you will not regret it.
My daughter loves going here and Sensei Panulla is great with the kids!
As a student I can say Sensei Pannulla is one of the most engaging and effective instructors I have had the pleasure of learning from.his energy is contagious and his passion inspiring. My son is also a student. As a parent I am grateful for the positive impact Magnus Karate has had on his growth becoming an excellent individual. We have been a part of the Magnus Karate Community for Over 5 years and will be for a very long time.
Mike Pannulla is amazing with young children and his instructors are also great. Kids love it and the new studio in West Chester is awesome!
My grandsons worked with him for several years and Joey became a black belt at 13, I joined the adult group and became a brown belt. Working with Master Pannulla, I learned to not only add years to my life but to add life to my years at 78. He is a great communicator and excellent teacher.
Magnus Karate and Mike Pannulla have done so much for our family over these 5 years. It started with my daughter when she was 4/12 years old. She quickly took to Sensei Pannulla and his instructors. His teaching methods and interaction with the children, by instilling them with a strong foundation and confidence is excellent. I have watched my daughter grow more and more confident with every class she took. To this day she is still doing her karate, and loves it. Seeing her have fun and excel in her karate, got me to join his adult class, and I have been at it for these 4 years now. The knowledge, leadership, the comradely is what makes Magnus Karate a family. I cannot thank Sensei Mike Pannulla for what he has given myself and my daughter over these years, and I look forward to the years to come. If you are looking to put your child in karate to build their self confidence, or you are looking as an adult for self protection look no further. I highly recommend contacting Mike Pannulla and Magnus karate for your needs.
It was a great place for learning Karate. Never an injury for the years I were there. With the addition of perfect discipline giving from the instructors.
We have been at Magnus for over 6 years now with 2 kids in the program. First we started out with Junior Magnus and moved up to Magnus. Both are great programs and my kids love the classes. Mike and his staff are great with all of the kids and even spends time to update parents on their kids progress.
I absolutely love Magnus Karate for my daughter, who has been with the program for three years. Master Panulla stresses effort and responsibility in a way that is receptive to kids. Master Panulla is also very organized about sending out reminders and updates to parents about tournaments and tests. I cant imagine there is a better program out there than Magnus Karate.
We started at ATA, and quickly found that it was a soul-less corporate machine. Magnus has proved to be about the kids, the learning, and the discipline. Not only is our son happier and more motivated to go, we also get more bang for our buck. Less kids in the class, and 45 minutes for less money than it was for 30 minutes at ATA. Magnus is also in a great, family-friendly facility (ACAC West Chester).
