Best Martial Arts Classes in Kandivali East

By Shaolin Martial Arts Academy · 12 Jan 2026 · 6 min read · Kandivali East, Mumbai

If you're searching for the best martial arts classes in Kandivali East, you'll find plenty of options — but "best" isn't about who advertises the loudest. It's about who will genuinely keep your child safe, motivated and progressing. Here's how to judge any academy before you commit.

1. Check the instructor's credentials

A good instructor should hold a recognised black belt rank and have real years of teaching experience — not just training experience. At Shaolin Martial Arts in Kandivali East, classes are led by Ashish Rajak (2nd Dan Black Belt) and Kashish Rajak (1st Dan Black Belt), with 4–8 years of coaching students of all ages. Ask any academy directly about their instructors' ranks and how long they've been teaching.

2. Look at batch sizes

Overcrowded batches mean less individual attention and slower progress. Smaller, structured batches let the instructor correct technique properly and keep beginners safe. Ask how many students train in each batch and whether beginners are grouped separately.

3. Ask about the belt curriculum

A serious academy follows a clear, progressive belt system from white belt to black belt, with regular gradings so students always know their next goal. Avoid places that hand out belts without proper testing — it feels good short-term but teaches nothing.

4. Safety and discipline

The environment should be respectful and disciplined, with proper warm-ups and controlled sparring. Martial arts is one of the safest structured activities for children when taught correctly — injuries come from poor supervision, not the art itself.

5. Transparent, fair fees

You should know exactly what you're paying and what it includes. Our plans are simple: 2 days/week at ₹1,500/mo, 3 days/week at ₹2,100/mo, and 5 days/week at ₹2,500/mo, with a one-time admission of ₹2,500 that covers your uniform and registration. No hidden charges.

6. Always take a free trial first

Any confident academy will let you try a class free before joining. It's the single best way to see the instructor's style, the batch energy and whether your child enjoys it. We offer a free trial to every new student, no commitment.
