Having never done martial arts before, I am amazed at how well the instructor William explains complex lessons in a way that is easily understandable. He seems to be very skilled in a variety of forms of martial arts and can individualize the lessons in regards to speed, complexity, and content. This flexibility is really great because I can tell him what I want to focus on and he tailors the lessons to that. For me it is really important to know the how, why, and real-life implications of everything and at UMAA they care about those things too and incorporate them into the lessons. William seems very passionate about martial arts and genuinely interested in helping others to develop those skills. I would highly recommend UMAA to anyone.

Very clear instructions. Professional level teaching. Basic comprehensive techniques and ideas.

Owner Will was attentive and understanding of my limitations, while helping me work within my range. He offered valuable insight for how I can effectively progress, and Im excited to continue working with him.

The experience I had was very in depth and informative. There is a clear understanding that practical learning and effective techniques are most important. They have a good mind for analysis and philosophy behind martial arts and its practical applications for not only self defense but also self improvement. I would recommend this school to anyone eager to learn and grow.

I felt as though what they advertise is what you get, real self defense training. Ive been studying for many years and the system the teacher uses really works. You get in great shape too. Very practical and you get the option to pick what and how you want to train. I trained with the owner well before he made a profile on lessons dot com. Really positive and nice teacher. Dont confuse kindness with weakness! I recommend this trainer to anyone!!
