Serving Union since 2001. Traditional Values with modern martial arts and fitness. Union UTA has always strived to give back to our community.
Family owned and operated since our opening in 2001, Union UTA started as a traditional martial arts school. With great respect to traditional martial arts, we choose to have more of an adaptive curriculum, evolving and adjusting to the needs of our students. Our martial arts training program has grown to include aspects of kickboxing, Ninjitsu, Judo, grappling, Kali, combative knife concepts, and
dirty boxing. Not only do our students work toward their black belts in our system, but through the practice of many aspects of martial arts, focus on improving themselves as individuals. We think of ourselves as a personal improvement and self defense school above all else. In 2017, Union UTA became the first SAMI Combat Systems International Training Center in the Western world! With the partnership with SAMI founder, Peter Weckauf, Union UTA truly became an international school. This has helped us to open our program even more by offering SAMICS knife fighting, panantukan, axe fighting, and SAMICS Law Enforcement training. Our organization not only benefits the students in our martial arts classes but also spends time giving back. For instance, the organization successfully raising over $50,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In the past several years, we have helped raise over $450,000 for children’s charities. Other charities we have sponsored include The March of Dimes, COSAC, and various children’s cancer organizations. With our leadership team spending time on community service projects. Union UTA also hosts a number of other events annually, such as tournaments, demos, parties, and testing. We offer several training seminars throughout the year for SAMICS and children’s special events as well. Union UTA also participates in many local events, fairs, and outings. We feel a personal responsibility to be involved with our community and its members. Our constant mindset is to not stand still, but to grow and evolve. We can always adjust and grow. Not just our students, but as a business as well. We believe this constant state of growth is what helps set us apart as a community. With different goals for both our children and adults, Union UTA’s martial arts school focuses on each individual’s goals and growth. So regardless of a student’s reasons for joining our program, it’s our commitment to excellence and service that help our students achieve.

Sometimes martial arts doesn’t look like flying kicks or breaking boards.
Sometimes it looks like this.
A quiet moment.
A lesson being taught.
A belt being tied.
A young student learning that confidence, discipline, and growth are built one step at a time.
At Union UTA, we’ve always believed martial arts is about more than punches and kicks. It’s about mentorship. Leadership. Relationships. Showing up for people. Helping students become stronger — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
Because the small moments often become the big ones.
And those lessons? They carry far beyond the training floor.

Small moments build strong teams.
Our Leadership Team has been working on new class handshakes — a simple way to help students interact, connect, and bond with their classmates without even realizing it.
Because confidence, communication, and community are built one small moment at a time.
