1) The school is more expensive than many of the surrounding martial arts schools.

2) They will con you into signing a contract without ever mentioning that you are agreeing to a year long commitment

3) This school is what they call a “mcdojo.” You pay your monthly fee and you get the next belt. There are 10 year old kids with black belts that can’t through a decent kick to save their life.

4) The instructors can’t even do most of the stuff they “teach”.

5) If you are an adult, prepare to be treated like a child

6) The head instructor is incredibly skilled. You will never see him

7) You will probably buy $300 in sparring equipment that you will almost never use. They claim to not be a competition school but thats because their students would lose every one they entered to.

The list goes on and on. Basically, its a waste of time and money. Don’t ever sign a martial arts contract, especially at this place. The only thing you will get from this school is an undeserved pat on the back for your child.

Martial Arts International has the family values I like our son to learn. Not only is he being a better athlete, he understands that this activity comes with making me and my husband happy and keeping up his grades at school. This is what MAI is all about! Most importantly, there are always enough Instructors on the floor that seemed to truly care about his progress and his personal development. There are several occasions where they have to give him some private lessons just to keep him on track during challenging times. I can honestly say, I LOVE MARTIAL ARTS INTERNATIONAL! Awesome

I have been at another school that told me they teach some awesome self-defense program or some combat stuff. After about a year there, I decided to look around. After trying a few classes at Martial Arts International, I finally found what I was looking for! It was not just about the practical self-defense techniques and physical fitness that mattered to me. It is also a sense of belonging. I never got a call of concern from my old school; Martial Arts International Instructors talk to me and give me a sense that I matter. This is truly the school I see myself training forever. Master Melegrito is something to listen to and his sincerity and love for what he does echoes through his team members. He always speaks of our school as a family and I am so glad to be a part of it. Thank you Martial Arts International!
