I was dragged to a Krav class on my birthday by my best friend, who is a huge fan of the classes, and I just loved it. It was one of the more intense workouts I've ever gotten in my life, and although I couldn't keep up on my first try with the rest of the class, everyone was really encouraging and I didn't feel bad about how out of shape I was. The class was taught by Raul, who is awesome! We went through a variety of warm up exercises that I sweat throughout and then moved along to learning various Krav moves, which were intense. I spent the next couple of days totally sore from the full-body workout, but couldn't wait to try it again! This place is great for people who already know what they're doing and want to get better, but also awesome for beginners like me who had no idea what they were getting themselves into!

I joined Krav Maga because I had been interested in this form of self defense for years and now I finally had the time to learn. After my daughter and I tried a class my son joined as well. It gives me peace of mind knowing that they’ll be able to protect themselves. What we have gained in just a few month is more than I ever expected. Every class is a full body workout, making you stronger every time. The added bonus is always learning a new, practical way to protect yourself. I never had motivation to go to the gym or keep up with Zumba. Krav Maga is different because it combines self defense with fitness. The instructors are knowledgeable, motivated, and helpful; always making sure you learn the technique the proper way. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend coming here.

I have been coming here since February on/off depending on my work schedule. Every time I come in, I realize why I do the VIP membership which includes the fitness courses (Kickboxing, TRX, Heavy Bag Blast) and Krav Maga. The kickboxing course is awesome and taught by George. We warm up by running and doing a few circuits of squats, burpees, and whatever George want us to do that day. He lets you do your own thing if you want to, but always has a routine and guides very well. Sergio teaches the TRX and Krav Maga courses and is always looking to motivate his students. He is very vocal about how much he wants each of us to make it to class--to improve and become better and better. Raul is the newest addition and the lead instructor at this studio. He has a black belt in Krav Maga and is also a police officer. I have only taken one class with him and it definitely makes sense why the owner, Mr. Pena, has trusted him with his students and taken him on! He seems to be very passionate about Krav and makes sure students are working at their very best.
Besides the actual courses and instructors, this studio is great because the owners are there and involved. I always come in and chit chat with the owner's wife, Lea. The owner, Mr. Pena, has accolades in Tae Kwon Do and Krav and has opened this school as a passion-based business. Definitely shows in the intimate gym environment and closeness of student-instructor interaction. I also love coming in and chit-chatting with Carolina, the studio's manager. Definitely worthwhile if you're looking to be active in a non-conventional way and learn how to defend yourself! :)

One word: Awesome! UMA's classes and instructors are excellent. Juan, Sergio, George and Raul are all highly skilled, patient and encouraging. These guys keep the classes fresh and innovative so you never get bored, always incorporating new techniques with an emphasis on proper form. Take advantage of the free class that UMA has to offer and I guarantee you will be hooked!

I went to UMA to try it out. I have ever done martial arts or any type of formal fighting. The instructor that day was very informative and knowledgeable on what he taught and was willing to work with me to help me get my form down. The class was intense and challenging. I would recommend going to UMA to train. Staff was welcoming. And all the students helped each other out. Great place, looking forward to become a member!

Krav Maga classes are taught with a focus on fitness and surviving the worst of the worst. Each class focuses on something different and assuring mastery of each skill. I would recommend Ultimate Martial Arts and Krav Maga to those who desire an increased physical fitness and confidence in any situation that may arise. Keep up the good work!

Have upped my workouts to 5 days. Can't get enough of Kick boxing, TRX, and Heavy Bag Blast. I am really seeing a difference in my strength, body, and energy level, not to mention my self-confidence!

Let me start by saying that I rarely write reviews because unless I feel strongly about something I don’t want to waste my time. Ultimate Martial Arts is a great school with great instructors. Period. I trained in WuShu for about 4 years before having to stop and decided about a year ago to pick something back up. It originally started with my daughter taking Tae Kwan Do at UMA and then I came in to check out Krav Maga. Since then I've been hooked and attending group classes for about a year, along with starting up some private lessons. All the instructors (Sergio, George, Juan) that I've trained with so far are top notch. They will not make you feel like a beginner even if you have no training coming in, and are patient but will make you work. You have absolutely nothing to lose by coming in for a free group class. And don’t think that you’ll stand out as the new guy/lady. The students will all make you feel welcome too.
