  Union Martial Arts has really become like a second home for my family and me! It’s been such a positive experience for my kids—one of them has really come a long way with their DP and AXT skills, while the other is gaining so much confidence. On top of that, I’ve been managing my weight better, too! I’m just thrilled that we found this amazing place! Coach Nolan and Coach Kon are the best, and everyone here is so friendly and supportive. If you’re thinking about joining, just go for it! You’ll absolutely love it and won’t regret a thing!

Oh, and the prices are great, too!

  A professional, friendly, and experienced team. They are always happy to welcome you and will do their best to help you. A lot of attention is given not only to physical well-being but also to inner and mental well-being. Children are taught discipline, how to protect themselves from bullying, and how to handle other dangerous life situations. Both children and adults have a lot of fun and positive experiences during training, as well as improved health. I am very happy that my family is part of this wonderful community. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I also want to add that if you or your children have any questions or difficulties, feel free to reach out to Coach Nolan and Coach Kon.

  This gym is phenomenal! Coach Nolan’s ability to coach in both a highly technical yet simple and easily digestible way is truly a gift. It doesn’t matter if you’re a skilled martial artist or complete beginner you will thrive at this gym. Coach Nolan and coach Kon are building something really special here.. Check this place out, you will not regret it.

From the exceptionally clean facilities, the two fantastic coaches who maintain a personal relationship with each and every one of their members, to all the classes you’d ever need, this gym is perfect for any one who is looking for a quick 1-3 days a week workout, or working all the way to become a professional MMA fighter or Kickboxer. Don’t skip this gym, give it a try!

  We cannot say enough great things about Union Martial Arts! Our son has been training in kickboxing and jujitsu for roughly 8 months and has come so far in skill, discipline, and understanding his body. The coaches are thoughtful, attentive, and know when to be serious and when to have some fun.

The facility is large, incredibly clean and very family friendly. We got lucky stumbling upon this place and are so happy we did.

All in all, great community, wonderful coaches, incredible skills in teaching and lots of fun!
