As a person who has loved watching the UFC fights, and always wanted to learn the submissions and Jiu jitsu aspect. I found that Union Martial Arts was the place for me (Beginner Friendly.) I started by googling Jiu Jitsu near me and went to try the first place that caught my eye. I very quickly learned , that the place I had tried was not for me. I did not give up though! I started calling around from place to place just trying to get someone on the phone, that could answer some questions for me. After many failed attempts of contacting different places, I called Union Martial Arts and Coach Nolan picked up. Right from the start I knew that this was going to be the place that I went and trained. I believe he was about to start teaching a class ,but he still insisted on staying on the phone, and answering any question I might have. Later that week I had my trial class and signed up to be a student immediately after. Coach Nolan and Coach Kon, are two very knowledgeable and respectful men. I highly recommend Union Martial Arts.

My 2 boys are students of this awesome MMA school. It's been a month and I can already tell we chose the right place. They were previously enrolled in Taekwondo but didnt learn how to defend themselves. Coach Nolan is the real deal. He trained under the legendary Tiger Schullmann and is well respected in the MMA community. He is highly knowledgeable and makes sure the students learn the moves correctly. They are having fun, making friends and will be able to handle a bully if needed. We are glad to be part of this family. Awesome place.

Incredible coaches who have cultivated a really positive culture in their gym. You'll find the students are just as willing to help as the coaches themselves. Would heartily recommend to anyone considering it.

My kids love the kick boxing and jui jitsu classes. They have learned so much in a short period of time. The coaches are extremely passionate and are excellent with kids. The coaches do a great job in teaching the kids. I love that the coaches consistently deliver important character messages (eg, about perseverance, self discipline etc) to the kids. A good mix of instruction and actual sparing / grappling. I highly recommend it.

My 12 year old son and I have been attending classes at this studio for a little over 3 months and we are thoroughly impressed. We don’t have experience doing kickboxing or jiu jitsu and were very nervous to try something new. Every class we leave inspired having learned new techniques, burned a lot of calories, and met incredibly kind people. Both Coaches (Nolan and Kon) are amazing! They are patient and abundantly respectful. For those of you wanting to get fit or learn some sort of self defense, I highly recommend this studio.

Although we were not one of the first when the school opened, since September 1, 2022, when we started, we feel a great connection full of discipline, respect, transparency, professionalism, dedication and a lot of affection from the coaches Nolan and Kon, all those emotions are still intact Since that first time we went and we felt like family! My children, Enmanuel, Manuela, Diego, my wife Vanessa and my person Manuel Garcia feel proud and highly grateful to you! Union Martial Arts! Blessings to you!

My husband has been coming here for a while and absolutely LOVES IT. The place is immaculate, the atmosphere and environment is so welcoming and everyone is so friendly ! No judgements here. I attended my first beginner kick boxing class this past weekend and loved it! Not only was it so much fun but I got a great workout and felt so good afterwards. Coach Nolan is the best !!!! I am usually very intimidated at trying new things and will shy away but everyone made me feel very welcome and I can’t appreciate that enough ! Will definitely be back :) I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone looking to get into kickboxing or any of the other classes they offer !!!
