MARTIAL ARTS IS NOT ONLY ABOUT FIGHTING - IT IS ALSO ABOUT BUILDING CHARACTER

 Pete Malino has practiced Martial Arts for 40 years; he is an accomplished and gifted martial artist and teacher. 

His extraordinary background and years of training include Kickboxing , Karate , Ju jitsu , Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Krav Maga.

He was trained by the most accomplished practitioners in each art ( 3rd degree black belt under Ron Van Clief in kickboxing and karate (1987), 5th degree black belt in Karate under Hector Santiago (1988), blue belt in Brazilian Ju Jitsu under Alexandre " Soca " Frieta (2005) and Green belt in Judo and Jiu Jitsu under Blu Ida in  2009 ). 

These belts attest to his superb talent and both physical and mental aptitude.

Pete began to focus on Krav Maga in 1998. Given his knowledge of martial arts, his choice of instructor was easy- he has trained with the best and continues to do so under Grandmaster Rhon Mizrachi; He has been an Instructor of Krav Maga under Rhon since 2011.

Pete is a Martial Artist in every way; the bond between Rhon and Pete is based not only on a student/teacher relationship but also on the mutual respect that true practitioners of martial arts have for each other.

Presently Pete is focusing on his continued training in Krav Maga. He is training with other Krav Maga Federation students and instructors, preparing for his Brown Belt test this fall. 

He will be tested by Grandmaster Rhon Mizrachi and partnered with KMF Instructors and students, the test requiring defenses against multiple attackers, both attacking with weapons and open hand.
