If you're looking for a fun, engaging, and active activity for your child, this is the perfect place. I can't say enough great things about this business. From the welcoming first day to the easy scheduling and flexible class options, our experience has been excellent. On our daughter's first day, she was understandably a little nervous, as many children are in new environments. The coaches immediately made her feel comfortable, encouraged her to try new things, and helped her build confidence. She absolutely loved it. The flexibility they offer for scheduling upcoming classes is also amazing. The app is very user-friendly and makes it simple to make changes when needed. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family looking for a great activity and a positive martial arts experience for their child. read more

My son wanted to try some type of martial arts, and his teacher recommended this location. We were able to do a trial class to see if it was a good fit, and we ended up loving it! The coaches are amazing they know every single child's name, which is impressive considering how many kids are in the program. They're also very flexible with scheduling through the app. There are multiple classes offered throughout the week, so if you miss one, you can easily make it up the following week. Most importantly, the coaches are fantastic with the kids and make every class fun and engaging. read more

We love UMA. We love the friendliness of the staff, the energy, the passion they have for the art and the students, and their value for family/parenting. My son has been going for two months now and he absolutely loves it. He is fond of his instructors and looks forward to go weekly. I appreciate the relationships they share with all the students. A student can't possibly feel favoritism or excluded because the instructors make the effort to acknowledge every child's strength. We've looked for years and have yet to find a place like UMA. We are grateful for UMA and look forward to have our children grow with them. read more

My daughter wanted to try martial arts. So we decided to try out this place based on the overwhelming positive reviews. Our first day has been pleasant and my daughter enjoyed the class.

Ultimate Martial Arts - Class in session! - Kickboxing Near Me - Fresno, California

My oldest son has been attending this dojo for nearly 4 years now. They have been very patient with training him and I love how they work with the younger kids. We decided a few months ago to start our son in competitions and they have stepped up and increased his training to get him ready for his matches. I cannot wait till my youngest son can enroll in their classes. He has already shown interest in learning and competing as he imitates the others from the sidelines. I would recommend anyone with young kids to enroll them with UMA. Amazing staff and support. read more

My little one had talked about karate for a couple months so we decided to give it a try with one of their free sessions. He seemed to love it but never gave me a direct decision, so I got a couple more classes to see what he thought. We didn't sign up in the end, I don't want to push him to do something if he really doesn't want to do it. BUT I did want to write about this place because I really enjoyed the way they set up their classes. The teachers were all super welcoming to my little and made him feel special and included. I love their goals and strips they give out to the kids to help them focus and give them tasks to earn their belts and the energy was just so positive. I hope my little eventually will want to be more serious about this sport, but until then we will hold off. Good Luck to all the kiddo's trying to get their belts, they work so hard. read more

Ultimate Martial Arts - Kickboxing Near Me - Fresno, California

We signed our 6 year old daughter, Kaleah, up back in February, and honestly love it. It's a very family oriented place, and the energy is amazing. My daughter loves her sensei & instructors- all of them. She honestly thinks of them as family now. This place is not only teaching martial arts, but life values. And it really does make an impact on children. Plus, it's nice in our home life, that I can remind her when she's struggling, "Well what did you learn in Karate?" Or if she's not listening or living by her values I totally use the "Well maybe when we go to Karate I'll let your sensei know about xyz" and she sets herself straight lol. I definitely recommend this place, especially for smaller children. The environment is very upbeat & energetic. The instructors are amazing with the kids, I've never seen anything like it. My daughters favorite instructors are Ms. Stephanie & D'Angelo, along with the main sensei. We hope to keep her here for a long long time. read more

Writing this review as an adult wanting to take kickboxing classes- I did the $20 two week pass that includes classes and one guest. I was called regarding scheduling a class and went in that week with my sister. The class was definitely not what I was expecting. As someone who has never done kickboxing, I honestly thought we'd get more instruction on the basics. I was told I didn't have to bring gloves as they had some I could borrow. The ones that were loners were completely disgusting. I would have brought my own had I known the ones they had were literally worn down and smelled TERRIBLE. I literally had the stench of the gloves on me the remainder of the night. I was never called regarding the 2 week pass and they had no knowledge that I had even paid the $20 for the pass. At that point I took the $20 loss and went somewhere else. This may be nice for kids based on the reviews but DO NOT BUY THE $20 PASS. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY. read more

Best decision yet to start my 5 year old here! He loves it .. great environment for the little ones ...

This place is amazing. Our 5yr old and 7yr old girls love it. The instructors are great. They make it fun for the kids while teaching them multiple skills, respect and discipline. I like how they don't focus on one martial arts discipline. It's a mix of striking, kicks and jujitsu. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to introduce their child/children to martial arts. read more

I'm really happy I found UMA for my son JJ! It has helped my son gain confidence by pushing him outside of his comfort zone. He used to give up easily when he couldn't learn something new, but the Lil Ninja program has helped him learn to never give up. I've seen a big change in him. Wendy is super helpful & friendly when you sign up. All of the instructors are great with the kids and very patient. Highly recommend! :-) read more

We moved very close too UMA November of 2019, one day in February 2020 we went too subway and my 7 year old daughter says "hey that's a karate place can we go look?" I said "sure let's go".. she had a very horrible experience with another "Martial Arts" school and she never wanted anything too do with karate again until 1 year later when she spotted UMA.. we entered the building, it was really busy, Sensai and Wendy were not there due to a business meeting out of town, however Ms. Stephanie was very welcoming too my daughter and was talking too her for a bit, at that point I was sold and so was my daughter. Wendy called me back 2 days later, very apologetic that she was away from the DOJO etc.. I went back with my daughter too speak with Ms. Wendy, she broke everything down in detail (no high pressure sales stuff), I paid like $20 for a 2-3 week trial for my daughter. After the 1st day of her trial, she said "I want too become a black belt here!".. she's now a proud orange belt! Thank you so Much Sensai Rudy, Ms. Wendy, Mr. Jordan, Ms. Stephanie, Mr. De Angelo, Mr. Eli, & Mr. Isaiah for being so family oriented, having patience, loving what you all do, and always demonstrating the most unparalleled professionalism! YOU GUYS ROCK! read more

Ultimate Martial Arts - MMA Gloves - Kickboxing Near Me - Fresno, California

They offer a free day as most places do, but they also offered us an additional 3 days for $20 to get a better feel for it. We are currently trying another place before we decide, but I have to say hands down the instructors at Fresno Ultimate are amazing! They pay close attention to the kids and within the few days we spent there I could already tell a difference in my soon-to-be 4yo daughter in how she listens and responds to commands. Very friendly-family oriented place. It is $150/mo so a little on the steep side, but if this other place doesn't pan out it will be worth it. The schedules for kids is Mon-Fri afternoons and Sat mornings, and they can go basically whenever they want so that is a huge benefit of schedule flexibility and it's month to month so no contract. Classes are only 30mins for the little ninjas so that's perfect for their short attention spans. If I could give 10 stars I would for these guys read more

My daughter looks forward to her classes each week! She has learned so much in such a short period of time, and loves every sensei!

I had been looking to get my 3 year old involved in an activity/sport that would build his confidence, help him get stronger, mentally stimulate him, and most importantly interact with children his own age. I looked around at different martial arts studios and I came across this studio and we just loved it here! The establishment is clean and family oriented. The staff is amazing, always welcoming, and so playful with the little ones. We feel very grateful to have the opportunity for our son be a part of the martial arts family. read more

Extremely great customer service and staff are so good with kids! My child LOVES every minute!

My son has been involved in martial arts for 3 years. After his previous dojo closed, UMA welcomed us and honored his current belt rank. The instructors are truly involved and connect with EVERY child. Parent seating is sometimes limited due to the popularity of this dojo so be sure to get there early. Lots of kid activities and opportunities. Instructors take the time to learn every child's name, make eye contact with parents, greet every family that comes in and involve everyone. Would recommend in a heartbeat read more

We enrolled our son Christian almost three months ago. He started off with alot of anxiety. He was shy and lacking confidence. Since he has started at fuma he has shown so much inprovement. His stamina and coordination have improved also. His instructors Jordan and Andrew have really helped him to feel comfortable. They encourage and motivate him. He is so excited to attend every class and loves to practice at home. The staff has been so welcoming and helpful. Enrolling our son was one of the best decisions we've made for him. We are so excited to see what the future holds for our son at fuma! I would highly recommend enrolling your kids. It been a great way to teach our son focus and discipline. And hes having so much fun too! read more

My son started at Fresno Ultimate Martial Arts when he was six years old. Still involved with the sport at 18 years old. It was a great decision made. It keeps him active and involved with other students throughout Fresno/Clovis. The school is family oriented with great instructors who are exceptional with the kids. You can join to have fun and get in shape or be competitive and enter competitions. The environment is great for the kids! The adult Ju Jitsu classes are awesome too and the fight nights are enjoying. Definitely one of the most welcoming martial arts schools in the valley! read more

Took my son here for the first time. He loves it!!!!! Staff is so courteous. Place is very clean and atmosphere is great!!!

I've been meaning to write a review for the longest time and I'm so glad that I am able to finally have the time this evening to prepare a wholehearted endorsement for the Fresno Ultimate Martial Arts family. I checked out two other local martial arts centers but I found them to not be as kid-friendly as I had in mind so I continued my search until another parent advocate and dear friend, Shelby Hayes, told me about FUMA. I wanted my son in karate at age 4 but we realized that the maturity required to sustain a thirty minute class wasn't there yet. He was extremely sensitive, needed strength training, and had physical coordination challenges and so his father and I felt that martial arts instead of a team sport would be more appropriate, beneficial, and more enjoyable for him--giving him the opportunity and space to progress on his own developmental time. We were hopeful for this to work out and brought him back at age 5 and Sensei Rudy and his team were so incredibly wonderful to help him ease into the Little Dragons class by allowing him to come a few minutes early to warm up with them. He tended to be intimidated by new environments, new faces, and new routines. After a few sessions, his transitions were more successful and required less and less intervention. They didn't mind that I joined the class when I needed to give him the support, encouragement, model full body listening, correct technique, and good attitude. FUMA has contributed greatly to my son's development so much so that his father and I have gotten all choked up over his achievements on more than a few occassions! It has made him physically stronger, more coordinated, built his stamina, taught him how to wrestle without a meltdown, persevere, acknowledge and respect authority figures, open himself up to new experiences and schedules. He has always had developmental challenges from language to motor development and we have always had social goals for him. FUMA has partnered up with us in addressing so much of that! When he was exited out of occupational therapy, I was confident that continuing karate would improve his gross motor development. He is so busy with speech therapy at Talk Team, academic tutoring at Cullinan, Cubscouts, Catholic Doctrine at Holy Spirit, but our family will always squeeze in our FUMA visits because it beautifully aligns with everything we are doing! At the end of each session, Sensei Rudy talks to the students about goals and values in daily life. All the instructors of FUMA are father and big brother figures to Kirby. They are part of our family and have provided a safe place for him to learn and grow! We have celebrated his birthday there two consecutive times and we can't wait to get our youngest in the Little Dragons program! Administrative matters are so well handled by Wendy. Just seeing her makes my day! He was engaged in home Play Therapy for two years and we were thrilled to find that our exceptional therapist, Drea Strompf, sends her son to FUMA as well! Super solid stellar review right here! The Fresno community is so lucky to have FUMA! read more
