As a student at United Martial Arts, I can confidently say that my experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment I stepped into the school, I was welcomed into a community that not only teaches martial arts but also fosters personal growth and confidence. The instructors at United Martial Arts are more than just teachers; they are mentors who genuinely care about each student's progress. They've helped me refine my techniques, but more importantly, they've instilled in me a discipline that extends far beyond the mat. The rigorous training sessions have challenged me physically, yet the real reward has been the mental resilience I've developed. I've learned to approach challenges with a clear mind and a calm heart, qualities that have proven invaluable in my daily life. One of the standout benefits has been the boost in my self-confidence. Martial arts here isn't just about learning to defend oneself; it's about understanding your own capabilities and pushing past your perceived limits. Every section of belt I've earned has been a testament to my growth, not just in martial arts, but in self-awareness and self-esteem. The emphasis on respect, both for others and oneself, has also reshaped my interactions. I've become more patient, more considerate, and I've learned to handle conflicts with a level of maturity I didn't possess before joining the school. This has made a significant difference in my relationships, from family to friends and colleagues. Moreover, United Martial Arts offers a diverse curriculum that caters to various interests and skill levels. Whether it's learning self-defense or mastering forms, there's always something new to explore, keeping the training fresh and exciting. The community here is supportive, encouraging everyone to strive for excellence in a positive environment. In summary, United Martial Arts has not only enhanced my physical abilities but has profoundly impacted my character, discipline, and overall well-being. I am grateful every day for the opportunity to train here, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to embark on a journey of self-improvement through martial arts. Jeff D.

This is a fantastic school! I've been going for over a year and I'm just as excited to go as when I first signed up. The variety of training and conditioning is incredible; this is not just another martial arts studio where you go and practice the same punch or kick a thousand times over. Class sessions will focus alternately on flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, and more. Additionally, each student works on a routine customized to their ability and body. Classes still work out all together, so students don't spend time sitting on the side watching 'higher-belts' do their work. In fact, the grandmaster typically gives the most attention to newer students, making it a very comfortable environment. Classes work on a variety of forms, some similar to traditional 'hard-form' martial arts meant to develop strength and speed, and many similar to yoga- or pilates- style poses and forms meant to develop balance and flexibility. Despite the variety, you always leave class feeling like you learned something really valuable. Sometimes it's a form that will keep your body in great shape into old age, and sometimes it's a really cool self-defense form. I recommend United Martial Arts to anyone looking just to maintain your body as it ages, to someone interested in learning a comprehensive self-defense art, and everyone in between! read more

I joined United Martial Arts 2 months ago. With a great deal of nervousness and apprehension. for someone in his late 50's and has never done something like this before. I had no idea what to expect. I was just looking for someway to loose a few more pounds. But let me tell you, the whole experience has exceeded my expectations. The Grand Master is extremely prepared. no matter what level you are, the class is for everyone. If you are looking for something to compliment your workout regiment or, use this as your main cardio and strengthening program you will not be disappointed. There are many paths one can follow each geared to ones own personal goals' I came to United Martial Art with two herniated disc 's ( c4,c5,) in my neck and now I have more mobility and painless movement than ever before. In addition, I have lost ten pounds since the first of the year. Contributed solely to Grand Master McGee workouts. Come on in and try it out - beats sitting on the couch. read more

United Martial Arts has changed my lifestyle. I had been suffering from back pain for over 10 years. It had gotten to the point where I couldn't stand for over an hour. With the back pain I was unable to nearly any physical activity. After going through regulated physiotherapy and Chiropractic visits they told my that two of the discs in my spine were too close together and that the friction was causing them to rupture. The Chiropractor told me the only way to fix the problem was to have surgery which costed over $7000, and even with the surgery I would have to change my lifestyle forever and exclude physical activity. My husband who was enrolled in United Martial Arts told the Grandmaster about my problem and he offered help. For much less the grandmaster fixed my back through therapy in 3 months. Now I am living healthier and I am on my way to a black belt. Without United Martial Arts being introduced into my life, I would have been never been able to live freely. read more

I have been a long time student of Grand Master McGee. Grand Master McGee is an excellent instructor and strong motivator. I am in my late forties and have been a martial arts practitioner for over 30 years! I continue to learn new things all the time. The self defense he teaches is very strong. There is much more to martial arts then just kicking and punching. You will get a chance to learn things you never thought possible, such as Tiger Form, Iron Palm, Bagwua, numerous weapons and more. Grand Master McGee can also help you with any physical ailments you might have. Over the years I have seen Grand Master McGee work with many individuals to improve their physical well being. He has helped me work thru some of my knee and back issues. I highly recommend coming out and trying a free lesson. You will be glad you did! read more

I've been training at United Martial Arts with Grand Master McGee for almost two years. I've learned more Tae Kwon Do in the last two years at UMA than I did when I took Tae Kown Do for three years from 1994-97 with another school. What I like the most about UMA is the Kung Fu forms also known as Master's Path Forms. These forms move my body in all ranges of motions to open up my joints, increase my range of motion in all the muscles, and engage my mind in the form. This training is excellent for my physical health as well as my mental focus. I highly recommend this school to anybody who wants to increase their health and learn self defense in the process. read more

I have been practicing martial arts for over nine years. Three of those years I have been at United Martial Arts and within that time I have learned more than I learned at my previous school for six years. Grandmaster McGee and the other instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. There is a sense of belonging at this school. Everyone is welcome and everyone learns at their own pace. What I have learned while being at this school is that it is not just about self defense. It is also a way of life because you are improving your overall health. In my opinion, Grandmaster McGee is the best martial arts teacher there is. Go check it out yourself! read more

Real martial arts is not just fighting skills. It's fixing whatever ails you from old injuries to depression over losing a friend or loved one. When you have to think about what you'd doing you advance both the mind and the body. It's NOT running with headphones on or boring routines. A 9th degree blackbelt knows a hell of a lot more than physical trainers at health clubs. Don't believe it, take a free lesson read more
