Can't say enough good things about Sensei Marando and the entire coaching staff here at Lakeville…read moreMMA. We've been coming for the past two years give or take and we've seen so much growth in our son (and all the other students, too!). Every class is different, every class they learn a new skill, and they make every class is fun. To be honest our son cares more about what Sensei thinks than us at times! ("You won't tell Sensei I had candy, will you?"). Not only do the kiddos have fun and learn various MMA techniques, but he will interject self-defense techniques as well (like how to break away from a grip if a stranger tries to grab their arm and pull them), AND those other important life lessons like how to shake hands, how to look people in the eye, what does integrity mean, etc. We love it here and honestly would recommend it to anyone and everyone. And don't think it's just for boys! No way!! One of my favorite parts (don't tell my 7 year old this) is watch the girls dominate the boys. It's impressive - and it truly goes to show that gender doesn't matter - what matters is technique and heart. Hope to see you there- you won't regret it.

Master and…read moreSensei offer cardio kick boxing and mixed martial arts classes that are challenging but not overwhelming and take into account the individual person's abilities. When I first started I was nervous because I was very out of shape and overweight but the dojo and other students were so welcoming that after just a few classes my apprehensions dissolved and I have now been attending for nearly 2 years. The classes and participants are full of positive energy and we all motivate eachother. Over the time I have been with Unity Martial Arts is have lost over 150 lbs, gained strength and confidence and feel safe and respected. I would recommend Unity Martial Arts for anyone who is wanting to live a healthier, more active life and wanting to learn more about self defense. *** Updated 3/13/2026 In updating this review I wanted to share that Master and Sensei have been very supportive of my health and fitness journey. I went from living a completely sedentary lifestyle to engaging in different fitness challenges from running 5k races to participating in a Deka event. The dojo is more than a martial arts school. It is a community and I think that sense of community has helped me not only become healthier but maintain my progress the last 2 years.
