Students learn basic martial art techniques; blocks, punches, kicks and patterns for each belt rank. We emphasize that UMA is a martial art for self-defense and as a result of this training, the martial art student develops confidence in their ability to defend themselves, even as we stress resolving conflict in a mature way. Our class consists of basic techniques and games relating to martial arts which help with balance, co-ordination, and are just fun! Students are given the opportunity to test for belts when the curriculum for their current rank is met. Setting and reaching goals helps students stay motivated and excited!
