Welcome

Martial Arts for Education
For over 25 years, Martial Arts for Education (MAFED) has been teaching children, teenagers and adults the Japanese martial art of Budo Taijitsu, along with the self-defense skills of the Ninja and Samurai. Led by Sensei Robert, we are a non-profit organization which focuses on teaching children self-esteem, focus and concentration, self-discipline, cooperation, physical fitness and leadership skills. We currently offer classes at the Dojo, Sandia Vista Elementary and Enchanted Hills Elementary. While we are based in Rio Rancho, we welcome students of all ages from across the greater Albuquerque Area. Stop by and try a class for free!  
We have been delighted at the interest in MAFED this school year and are deeply saddened by having to shut our doors temporarily. As the Covid-19 quarantine continues, we will be adding more video training materials for students to study at home. Keep practicing!
