Our Story Unfolds

Explore our milestones, growth, and memorable achievements throughout our journey.

UMAC began its journey with a heartfelt mission: to build a community where individuals could strengthen their bodies, sharpen their minds, and elevate their spirits through the art of martial arts. Opening our first schools in Warwick, NY, in 1995 we quickly became known for our dedication to personal growth, discipline, and respect.

Fueled by the enthusiasm and support of our students and their families, we expanded our footprint. In 2015, we celebrated the opening of our 2nd location in Monroe, NY and our Middletown location in 2017. These new branches allowed us to extend our empowering programs and create more opportunities for people to discover their potential.

Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, we adapted with resilience, continuing to provide exceptional training both in-person and virtually. In the fall of 2020, we proudly added our latest addition in Vernon, NJ, solidifying our presence across the tristate area.
