Martial Arts Schools near Pleasant Valley

“My 8 year old son has been attending karate classes at the dojo for 9 months and absolutely loves it. Each class is a mix of fun (think obstacle courses!) and discipline (learning precise moves in sequence, learning to be focused and respect the teacher). The instructors are kind but firm–I often see them handling kids' emotions with sensitivity. We love that it's a consistent, year-round sport and that our kid can feel a sense of progression and pride in his growing knowledge and skills.“

“Kwon’s Martial Arts has been such a great experience for our family. Our oldest started 5 years ago and recently earned their black belt, which has been amazing to watch and a true testament to the dedication, discipline, and support from the instructors. We loved the program so much that we couldn’t wait for our 6-year-old to be old enough to start too—both kids have gained confidence, respect, and skills while having fun in a positive environment.“

“I take my grandson there twice a week. Master Lacy is Great with the children. As of 3/2026 grandson got a new belt and was so proud of it. He loves going to karate and seeing Master lacy and And Christian, they are so great with the kids.“

“It's a really nice studio! They have 2 spaces, one big room used for hot yoga and a smaller room right next door. They have a nice mix of hot, yin, and other workout classes. All the teachers have been humble, kind, and knowledgable. I really appreciate the welcoming energy here. Good for beginners and experts alike.“

“UMAC was the best decision we made. It provides not only a workout, but also respect and discipline. Master C makes the classes exciting and fun and is very welcoming. I highly recommend UMAC!“
