We love Malandra Martial Arts. They care deeply about their students and help them to work at their level while always striving for their individual potential. We have seen wonderful growth in our children since attending.
Such a great place. This school is like a team, everyone supports each other. That all starts with Sensei Malandra. He is an amazing person and an extremely talented martial artist and teacher. He teaches realistic, self-defense tactics that work, proper techniques and skills, gives the foundation and knowledge needed, then encourages you to grow and utilize that knowledge, reacting without thinking and adapting to your situation. We meditate, do visualization exercises, self-reflect, and discuss. Lessons are related to all aspects of life, with an overall focus on improving the whole person. I look forward to each class and always leave feeling better than when I got there. Nothing is given away at this school; you earn whatever rank is around your waist. But what’s most important here is how you carry yourself, how you treat and help others, and that we all do our best to push forward together on the journey of overall self-improvement. Sensei Malandra is a wonderful role model and example for all his students, young and old, beginner or advanced. The team of instructors are all awesome as well. They each bring different backgrounds, experience, and expertise that only enhances the growth experience for the students. Classes are fun and varied and in addition to the core classes, you can also attend cardio kickboxing and grappling classes. There are truly no egos at this place, and it’s easy to see why, starting at the top.
Great place
Can't say enough great things about this school. They don't just focus on the physical training...they work on character development (confidence, certainty, respect, discipline,etc.) You child can't test without setting 3 goals and performing 30 random acts of kindness. I highly recommend Malandra's Martial Arts Center, a must if you or your kids want to experience a true martial arts journey! Was so impressed I started the adult class and it's better than any training I've had in the past. More than 5 stars, check them out!
