About Us

 

40 years of teaching excellence…

For over 35 years, UKS has been bringing the community the very best in martial arts instruction.  Our instructors are personally selected for not only their skill and achievements in martial arts but also their ability to effectively relate that knowledge and understanding to students of all age levels and backgrounds.  Therefore our instructors continuously undergo advanced training in all self-defense skills, and each and everyone keeps abreast of the latest teaching methods and human development. 

With you in mind…

At UKS we are not only interested in fighting skills but in the development of each person as a whole.  As a famous teacher once said “these are the tools of everyday life, what you learn in here, you can apply elsewhere…” Nowhere is this more important than in our children’s classes where we realize that we must embody the very same principles that you as parents are trying to instill in your children. 

A modern approach to self -defense…

Although our techniques are based on century old knowledge, it is our application of that knowledge that sets UKS apart.  We realize that each of you possess different natural abilities, size and strength will vary from person to person, etc.  That is why once that you have acquired a strong foundation and ability in the basics, our program is individualized to match your physical capabilities in order to exactly what it takes to both mentally and physically defend yourself or your loved ones.
