Coach Nolan

Owner and Head instructor

“Coach Nolan is a man who shows you what it means to conquer obstacles in life. He knows how to bring out the true potential in a person. He’s been the big brother I never had. Go learn from him and you will understand it first hand.” – Julio Arce, UFC Featherweight

After earning his black belt in 2008, Nolan became the owner and head coach of one of the largest and most successful Mixed Martial Arts academies in New York City. He quickly gained recognition for his highly technical instruction, innovative teaching methods, and ability to motivate students at every level. Beyond teaching, Nolan has been a teammate and training partner to numerous UFC and Bellator fighters, understanding firsthand what it takes to succeed both on and off the mat.

“It means everything to me to help others up the mountain that I am climbing with them.” – Coach Nolan 

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, Coach Nolan and Union will support you every step of the way toward your goals.
