Maldonado ATA Martial Arts

Building confidence, focus, and skills—one round at a time. 🥋💪

Building tomorrow's leaders, one class at a time.🔥

🥋 A Black Belt is more than a rank—it's a symbol of perseverance.

Today, we celebrate one of our newest Black Belts! Through years of commitment, determination, and countless hours of training, she has reached an incredible milestone.

Having her name placed on our Black Belt Wall alongside her brother's is a proud moment for their entire family and for ours.

Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement. We can't wait to see what you accomplish next! ❤️

🥧📚 School Supplies = Pie an Instructor! 📚🥧

We're kicking off our Back-to-School Supply Drive, and we need YOUR help!

Here's how it works:
🎒 Bring in new, packaged school supplies.
🎟️ Receive 1 raffle ticket for every item donated.
🥧 One lucky winner will get the chance to pie an instructor in the face at our Back-to-School Party!

The more you donate, the more chances you have to win!

Let's work together to support students in our community and have a blast doing it. 💙

Who's going to be the lucky pie thrower? 😆

🥋 Thinking about competing? This is your sign!

The Allen ATA Tournament is happening on August 15, and it's the perfect opportunity to experience the excitement of competition.

Never competed before? No problem! Our tournaments are open to students of every age and every belt rank, and our instructors will help you feel prepared every step of the way.

Join your teammates, challenge yourself, and make memories on and off the mat!

Stop by the front desk to sign up or ask an instructor for more information.

We hope to see Team Maldonado out in full force! 💪🔥
