Malone's Kenpo Karate and Clinch Jiu Jitsu MMA & Fitness

Malone’s Kenpo Karate and Clinch Jiu Jitsu MMA & Fitness traces its roots to Grandmaster Ronald B. Malone, who holds the highest rank under Professor Tiwanak on the East Coast. Promoted to Chief Instructor 9th Dan 4th level in 1990, Malone has dedicated decades to teaching martial arts, emphasizing effective, street-oriented self-defense. His leadership shaped the school’s mission to develop practitioners who are strong physically, emotionally, and spiritually while honoring traditional martial arts values and advancing their style. The academy combines Kenpo Karate with clinch-based Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques and MMA fitness training, reflecting a commitment to both striking and grappling disciplines. Students progress through structured belt criteria that reflect technical proficiency and practical application. While the school maintains a traditional martial arts framework, its curriculum also integrates modern self-defense tactics suited for real-world encounters. Instruction spans all ages and skill levels, fostering steady advancement through consistent practice and testing. Located at 8 Hagaman Street in Port Reading, New Jersey, Malone’s offers accessible facilities including parking and wheelchair access. The gym emphasizes hands-on learning supplemented by educational videos covering fundamental strikes, defenses, and kata forms. This approach supports students’ development beyond class hours. Malone’s continues to build on Grandmaster Malone’s legacy by producing martial artists who represent the style with discipline and effectiveness.
