Martial Arts Schools near Malta

“I've been a member for a bit over a year. I appreciate all the other members, to a person, have been welcoming and supportive. They are always willing to offer suggestions and help me learn. There are no egos, just great people. A special shout out for Nicholas Gerace who is the instructor/coach for the masters (40+) group. Nick's a great instructor overall, but especially for those of us with enthusiasm, but not as much flexibility as we used to have. It's a great place to be on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. This is a great community of people who demonstrate that Jiu Jitsu is a life skill.“

“The whole staff is amazing my 5 year old son has been going for about 4 months now . They are always patient and willing to go the extra mile . Great group of staff and kids to be around for my son. Thank you to all the amazing members and staff for everything.“

“Thank you so much for the awesome self defense workshop for our Girl Scout troop! They learned a lot & had fun. ??“

“I can not recommend this place enough. Master Gray and his team of instructors know how to engage with the kids, keep them learning while also maintaining their attention. My two kids have joined this school and they love every moment of it. One child is 12 and the other 6. My daughter is always shy but within these 4 walls, I see her ability to make friends, push herself to her limits and learn new skills everyday. The instructors know how to push her to do her best while also making her feel more confident in her developing skills. All the families are welcoming and have created our own community, almost like a big family. Us adults help out the kids (even if they are not ours) with putting on gear, cheering them on, and just being a smiling face. The only downside side is that we can’t take this school with us when we move out of state.“

“Master Park is exceptional. He is a brilliant teacher and connects with each of his students on individual levels.“

“Great place to learn and be a part of a team with people that want to lift you up and see you succeed. My time there has been enlightening to say the least.“

“Our family started taking taekwondo with another studio as it was offered through an after school program. The contract and costs were very expensive and something we were reluctant to agree to. There was pressure from the studio staff along with incentive dates to commit and sign a contract. We signed up and locked into expensive pricing. After only a few weeks of attending, I began researching alternatives to the class as it felt like an overpriced dance party. It didn't feel like a martial arts class. It felt like a way to run kids out of energy. We wanted the class to teach our kids skills in a more traditional setting. I found the pentjak karate club online and through word of mouth discovered they offered free trial classes. We took advantage of the karate clubs free classes and gave our child the opportunity to choose for themselves between the two. The choice was easy for them and a relief to me as the overstimulating environment at taekwondo was a lot to take in. The pentjak studio in Stillwater is nothing like the cookie cutter taekwondo and karate classes offered throughout the capital region. The club is excellent and it feels like a family run business with an owner who cares. Jim loves his students, treats everyone like family and it shows. The Instructors, once students themselves, grew to love the program and pushed themselves to become more. They've created a kind, compassionate and very real group of respected teachers. Most instuctors have other family members also in the program which is really awesome to see and it's contagious! Together this group under Jim's direction have crafted a school that fits all ages and types of children. We went from having one child enrolled to now all four. They're different ages with different personaliites who have different needs. The team at pentjak studio give their best to make sure each child is getting the most out of each class. They don't guilt you when you can't make it to a class because life happens, there are no contracts, there isn't a sales pitch or a ton of expensive gear to buy and the pricing is extremely fair, reasonable and affordable. I'm happy we found the studio so we could offer this learning experience to all of our children. The school has that sort of hometown feeling which compliments the appeal of the surrounding areas. If you're looking for a class that makes you feel like family and also teaches you endurance, discipline and confidence this will be a good fit for you. The free classes are an amazing way to try it out and see if your child or even yourself likes the program. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to take the adult classes after watching how much fun it is for the kids. I think all the parents would agree you won't be disappointed.“

“Amazing place with inspiring people. You’ll always be motivated to work harder and be better. The instructors are humble, good men with a lot of knowledge from real-world experience (and plenty of fun stories). This gym is perfect for anyone serious about self-improvement. It’s a great community that will support you on your personal journey. Lots of laughs to be had along the way!“

“My son loves the classes always excited to go and Master Allen and Master Dudla are amazing with the kids.Master Allen and Master Dudla are focus on the kids and helps teach them to focus and to have a “I can do it mind set”. I’m specially happy that they will slow down for kids who need it and help them and don’t just over look it. Thank you Master Allen, Master Dudla“

“Would recommend Pai's to anyone. We have been taking our son for over a year now and he loves it. I'm grateful for the morals they instill at a young age. The staff is attentive, kind, and fair.“
