United Martial Arts Centers Martial Arts, After-School & Summer Camp in Putnam, Westchester, Dutchess & Orange Counties

UMAC Shrub Oak is exceptional! Every instructor is committed to helping your child be their best self! They truly give 100%! My son is in the after-school program - AMAZING! We have been in a few and nothing beats UMAC. Mrs. Scully, Master Berlow, Sr Instructor Carr provide such a nurturing environment where children grow physically & emotionally. Oh, and the summer camp - you can’t beat it! My son never wants to miss anything at UMAC and that in itself speaks volumes. This family thanks you all

I brought my 4 year old son in for a trial lesson after seeing the ad on Facebook, and man I’m so glad I did! Master Berlow was absolutely fantastic! His enthusiasm and passion for teaching martial arts to others just radiates. The staff was all so friendly and welcoming. My kiddo was laughing so hard he could barely stand up, he had so much fun just from the initial trial lesson! He left feeling excited, confident, and strong- what more could any parent want for their kid? We signed up right away and I can’t wait to see how much this does for my son’s development. They have so many amazing programs too- I was so impressed at how much support they have been offering to families and students throughout the pandemic. So glad we found this place!

My five-year-old son started UMAC Newburgh almost a year ago and absolutely LOVES it! It has helped him build his confidence in his physical abilities, be more assertive, and stay focused not just in taekwondo but in school and in all his activities. My husband and I have so much respect for Master Leifer and Instructors Soler. They are amazing at what they do. All the other parents and students are also supportive and encouraging. My younger daughter can’t wait until she can start.

We had a terrific class on Saturday with Master Leifer. She is a true black belt leader, who lives out all of the qualities including power, respect, and an indomitable spirit. Thank you for helping UMAC to be such a special place!

I took the self-defense class given by Jacqueline McMorrow. It was great! Jacqueline’s technique was easy to follow, very educational, and fun. I definitely recommend this class for women of any age. I learned a lot about how to defend myself if I was ever in a dangerous situation.

I cannot say enough great things about UMAC Lagrange! My daughter has been attending for about 5 months and absolutely loves it. Just as importantly, she is gaining confidence, self-control, and focus. I cannot speak highly enough about Master C and his approach with the children!

We have been going to UMAC LaGrange for about a year and my 5yo loves it. Master C is amazing with children and has so much patience. My son is listening better, more focused, and disciplined.

UMAC Lagrange has been an amazing experience for my boys! Master Castrovinci (Master C) has been an amazing role model for my boys. They love coming and have shown much more self-control and discipline. Highly recommend.

I absolutely recommend UMAC, the staff are so friendly and sweet! They take pride in their work with the children. I appreciate the quick responses to emails and the staff have great communication skills. Thank you!!

Great place for kids and adults. Teachers are awesome, patient, and knowledgeable. I love seeing my son build more confidence and character. I absolutely recommend UMAC!

My grandson had his 6th birthday party at UMAC. They did an excellent job with 30 kids. Four amazing staffers ran party. Excellent orchestration of party.

UMAC Briarcliff is an amazing taekwondo school! My boys and I have been training for 5 years now and our training has changed our lives for the better! The Masters and all of the Instructors are caring, kind, and work hard to meet all of our needs. I highly recommend this school and look forward to continuing our training for years to come!!!

I have nothing but glowing things to say about UMAC and its programs and staff. My children have all had wonderful experiences with them. We’ve done birthdays, after-school programs, summer camp, parents’ night out, fundraisers, and classes. The staff are the best kind of role models one could hope for, and the culture of the studio is one of respect, discipline, hard work, and caring. Recommend 100%, without any hesitation. They are the best and a credit to our community.

The entire staff at UMAC is exceptional and really cares about its students. I originally brought my son there so he could gain confidence and come out of his shell. Over the past year, I have seen a huge improvement in his communication with others and I couldn't be more pleased! He has been attending the after-school program and he leaves smiling each day. The staff truly cares about its students and I could not recommend them highly enough! We love UMAC!

We LOVE our time at UMAC LaGrange! My 3.5 year old son has tons of energy, so the Dragons Class is perfect for him. He is learning to be more focused and confident in the class. Master C is kind, patient, and a great mentor. He has a great way of working with the kiddos. Weekly themes like ‘Positive Attitude’ help generate good conversations at home. It takes a village to raise a child, and I am so happy to bring UMAC LaGrange into our parenting arsenal! It helps to feel like you aren’t alone in helping guide your children in positive directions. We can’t wait to learn more moves, make new friends, and build a better community.

My daughter signed up at UMAC after attending one of her classmates birthday parties and it was the best decision ever! She has only been attending for about 6 months yet, has gained so much confidence and dedication from the sport. The entire staff at UMAC is extremely welcoming, respectful and professional. We are so happy to be apart of the UMAC family!

I am so glad we joined UMAC. My son has thrived and learned so much from going there. I would recommend to anyone who would want their child to feel confident and happy. They bring out the best in my son and it helps him with other things in his life also. School is better, he has more focus., lasting friendships and the knowledge that if he gives his best, he can achieve anything. The Staff are top notch and very caring.

UMAC is an awesome place for kids as well as adults! my kids went there for Summer camp, after school, on the leadership team and demo team. I am also a Black Belt. It has given our kids self-confidence, endurance as well as physical ability and skill which has also helped in other sports and aspects of our lives!!! The facility is clean and the staff is always helpful, friendly, supportive and never judgmental! what a great place to Train!!!!

UMAC has become more than "this place I send my kids". It is a second home and a second family for my boys. A place where people support them, care for them and want to see them succeed. It is a place that genuinely cares. We love the level of instruction they receive and how martial arts has changed their lives. Thank you to all involved in shaping my boys into respectful young men
