Who We Are at
Peter Malota Martial Arts
Our School
Few martial arts schools can provide the level of expertise we have. Owner Peter Malota uses his expansive knowledge to help students. He focuses on teaching repetition that helps early development and discipline for kids. We’ll see parents bring in students who are afraid to get on the mat, and quickly watch those students rise to the top. Their self-esteem is built through our supportive group of instructors – previously Peter’s students – who keep them disciplined and use positive reinforcement. So, if you want a strong culture, and the highest expertise around – look no further than Peter Malota Martial Arts!
Our History
We opened our Rochester martial arts studio in 2024 after 25 years in Birmingham, Michigan. Through that time and now in Rochester, we have always kept our focus on helping children through kids martial arts. We – want to make the community better. Peter’s journey also led him to the film industry which commenced in the mid 1990s, where his talent as a Fight/Stunt Coordinator on Hollywood action films shone through in three consecutive number one worldwide opening films starring renowned action star Jean Claude Van Damme. He’s worked with the best and brightest, learning along the way. Peter now strives to elevate students’ growth through the practices of martial arts and make them better on and off the mat.

Power Rangers Taekwondo (4 & 5 years old)
Our Power Rangers course is an introduction to kids Taekwondo classes. It is a structured program which focuses on coordination, confidence, and self-esteem. The young students are pushed to exercise their mind and body through fun physical activities.
Kids Taekwondo (Ages 6+)
Our kids Taekwondo class is very similar to our Power Rangers class. Students learn to build their motor skills as they learn discipline and respect. They become healthier physically and mentally through repetition and hard work.
Teens and Adult Taekwondo (High school and up)
Our teens and adult Taekwondo program is a combination of practices, forming a strong martial arts class. We combine Taekwondo and Hapkido to provide the best self-defense martial arts training to prepare you for the outside world.
