About Us | Martial Arts school in Ardsley | United Martial Arts Centers Ardsley

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING
FINDING A MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL CAN BE.

I remember when I was a child, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. I wondered if I had what it took to succeed and I wasn't the most athletic or confident child - quite the opposite. Little did I know that beginning my martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of my life!

When I opened my school in 2000, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Ardsley, Briarcliff Manor, Carmel, Fishkill, Newburgh, and Shrub Oak by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

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!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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
