My husband and I have been students at the School of Martial Arts since 2005. It has been an…read moreamazing journey! Sifu Brown is an incredible teacher whose enthusiasm and over 35 years of experience makes for a great class every time. The people that attend the school are great partners no matter what size you are or what shape you are in athletically. We take classes with all adults but they have kids classes as well. Beyond learning to defend myself in rigorous classes that not only engage me physically but mentally, I have learned the benefits of meditation and have seen a positive change in myself and my life overall. Let's be honest, going to the gym sucks! If you are looking to get a great workout, feel inspired, learn to defend yourself and/or improve the quality of your life - I highly recommend it!

And these young people work at it too. No participation awards, you put in the work to get the results! But it's the mentorship quality that any good teacher should have that makes a class special... This martial arts class has it! From my observation Master Thomas created a community that should have a good legacy. UMA will push your child to be their best on the mat with focus and discipline, and those skills are transferable to their school and home.

The thing thay stands out to me about this studio is that Mr. Cornwell trained under some renowned people such as Guro Dan Inosanto (i.e. a close friend of Bruce Lee (disciple of Ip Man)). I will definitely be going back for more and highly recommend this studio for those who want to learn martial arts for practicality.

In that time, I have watched them grow and develop into healthy, respectful, compassionate and confident young people. Based solidly in the traditional martial arts of Korea and sanctioned by the World Kuk Sool Association (with over a million practitioners worldwide), there is simply NO comparison between this school and numerous other martial arts schools in Metro Detroit. Each student gets highly individualized attention and uncompromising quality of instruction in a positive, "family" environment. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I've been a student here for six years now, under the instruction of Gehrik Mohr, PSBN (third degree black belt). Our sister school is located about an hour away in the Flint, MI area and run by Kenneth Wright, PKJN (5th degree black belt & master), who trains regularly with my instructor. Each of them have decades of experience and instruction in martial arts and have trained numbers of competition award winning students to improve overall health, longevity, defend themselves and attain confidence to lead in today's demanding world. I've had the opportunity to try out other martial arts and decided that Kuk Sool Won was the best fit for me. The school here is family friendly, and offers classes to people of all ages in a nurturing environment. If you're looking for value and a life changing experience, I encourage you to visit and try out a class.

Lots of other places have a 30 minute time, but this class is between 45-60 minutes, depending on how long it takes to finish the lesson- not when the time is up. I really like and appreciate that. The instructor, Steve, is awesome and very patient with the kids. And I love how he always relates the Jiu Jitsu lesson to the real world. Can't wait to continue our journey here.
