Competition is an important part of many students’ martial arts experience. UMA provides competition opportunities that are appropriate for all ages and skill levels.

We organize and/or attend several martial arts tournaments each year that are family and safety-oriented. Events usually include point sparring, padded sword fighting and grappling.

For adults who prefer more extreme competition such as full-contact kickboxing and mixed martial arts, we offer programs that will get them ready.

However, competition is not for everyone. Tournaments are encouraged but not required at our academy. We never push our students to participate in full-contact events.
