The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. The gym itself is spacious and clean. There are restrooms and changing rooms. Parking is plenty at this shared strip mall location.

My 7yo had his first official martial arts training here last week. Its especially tough cuz he was…read moreintroduced to take the class on his trial day, full on. Having been taught never to lay a hand on someone, especially girls, let alone pushing and grabbing, along with tumbling is still a learning process, but mostly positive. Its most difficult because he doesnt know what the martial arts is about. I even dont. Its not anout a knock out or hurting. He learns a move a day and may be repetitive the following day. But its not like karate where you might learn a move, repeat that quick motion, and move on. It had to be learned and almost instinctual. There are steps to follow for the move to be purposeful. Its difficult for my kid amongst others to comprehend and learn and that I (and theirs) need to pay attention from the narrow seating area to recreate at home to get the most of the teaching. Overall a good experience. Waiting to experience the Texas heat in the small space with large attendance. Btw, if you want "Brazilian" Jiu Jitsu, you'll get the emersive accent and light language barrier if you can handle it. Quite authentic culturally in this small local business. They seem to be very people loving, relaxed, yet strict with their dojo behavior as expected. I would actually appreciate more obedience and respect training like original japanese jiu jitsu.

I have had nothing but great experiences since I started going to this school 5 months ago. I take…read moreHap Kido and my 7 year old daughter takes Tae Kwon Do. She looks forward to every class, is growing more patient and disciplined. Grand Master Pak and his daughter Ah Young both teach. Master Pak has high level black belts in multiple arts, as well does Ah Young. They are both very humble, kind, and patient. There students respect and adore them for good reason. I could not disagree more with the anonymous poster who said that this school is a money making scheme, nor is it "a belt factory". I've seen children and people in my own class not advance when they could not pass a test. Also, Ah Young is over the children and Master Pak comes to help when he is needed for the sheer volume of students or chasm between belts in a given class. A note about the chairs. These are tough, Korean people, who care deeply for their art. They devote the majority of the space to students and a small space to an office and chairs. There is honestly no more room for chairs and I have no problem sitting on a floor or standing. I've seen children grow confident and strong here. I've seen friendships made, and a family environment in place before I arrived. The family of students in my class has welcomed me in, stepped in to help me learn, and invited me to dinner and parties. But above all the deep respect that the 8:00pm students have for their teacher is incredible. They all wait on the store front for him to leave. They wait, then bow and honor him as he washes goodbye. His students truly love him and I am proud to be a part of something so great and genuine.

I've been training in TKD at UMAEC for almost a year now. I've had no prior experience in any type…read moreof martial art. I started because I wanted to do something else other than going to the gym. The adult TKD class is 1hr on Mon and Wed. All belt levels are in one class. I was a little concerned with this at first, but there are alot of black belts to help out, and Master Pak gives ample attention to beginners when needed. I also love that Master Pak makes himself available on Saturdays for a couple of hours if you want extra practice or training. The sparring class on Thursday is open to everyone, and you need gear/protection to participate. This class is useful, but I don't always go out of my way to attend. The hapkido class is after TKD; I have been to a couple, but I feel I'm not ready for that. I usually watch the kids' class if I come in early. There is always one or two other instructors (senior students) helping out. It's great because Master Pak instills discipline and respect, and it really shows through the kids. In other words, if I had children, they would definitely be in that class. Overall, if you're serious about learning a martial art, and want to learn from an extremely high caliber Master, then UMAEC is for you.

They know how to teach... serious and solid but also know when to have fun and keep it light. I've watched my son grow up a lot in these classes... I'm very proud of the young man he is becoming and again I have to say... thank you Rise!

Unsafe training, bad mats, and poor environment I walked in fine and left injured…read more I decided to try out this gym because it's close to my house. From the moment I first walked in to ask about a free trial, the atmosphere felt uncomfortable everyone looked at me like I was some kind of intruder instead of a potential new student. No one greeted me or tried to make me feel welcome. That should've been the first red flag. During training, things went from awkward to dangerous. Someone decided to pull on my heel extremely hard not even applying a proper inside heel hook or any legitimate control and I felt a pop in my knee. I immediately knew something was wrong. That one careless move left me with internal damage in my left knee. I can barely move it now and can't afford the medical costs to fix it. It's been painful physically and mentally because I came here just to learn and have a good experience. On top of that, the mats were terrible. They had almost no grip super slippery even when dry. It's the kind of surface where you can slide around during drilling or sparring, which makes it way easier to get hurt. A gym that takes safety seriously would invest in proper mats like Fuji or Zebra mats, not the cheap ones that feel like plastic flooring. I'm not posting this out of anger I just want to give people an honest warning. The environment here doesn't feel controlled, and safety clearly isn't a priority. If you're looking for a competitive but respectful place to train, I strongly suggest going somewhere else. I train at Kingsway, and it's a night and day difference still very intense and competitive, but everything is structured, the mats are safe, and people actually look out for each other. That's how a real gym should operate.
