Developing the next Generation of Amature & Professional Athletes

The Future of MMA Starts HERE!

As a kids’ grappling and fitness instructor, my objective is to help children de­velope active, positive lifestyles. In­tegrating knowledge and activity will help convince children that exercise is important to their well-being and increase the chance that physical activity will be­come a permanent part of their daily lives. When the children begin to incorporate  fun fitness into their lives on a regular basis, they are more likely to modify other health factors to complement their healthy lifestyles.

 

As concerned parents you should be aware that at least 33% of children in developed countries are experiencing epidemic levels of obesity, and that this problem is, in large part, associated with physical inactivity.  The fact is, very few children choose to spend 20 to 30 minutes doing any kind of continuous endurance exercise, regardless of the benefits or incentives. Most youngsters prefer to play video games, watch television, or spend hours on the computer.


 

Ideally, children should have access to exercise programs that meet their physiological needs and match their personal activity patterns. Fortunately, it is possible to provide such exercise programs here at the Universal Grappling Academy through sensible grappling, kick boxing, and strength training.
 
In 90 days it is possible for your child to have more
energy and increase his or her confidence, awareness, and self esteem. 

My U.G.A. programs for kids will give your child an overall healthier body. Remember that when your child is healthy, he or she
will have more muscle and bone mass, less body fat, improved sleep, and a faster metabolism.

You as a parent will know that you have done the biggest
part in changing the old habits such as inactivity, web surfing, or being video game zombies. Now you are on the path of
helping your child achieve a healthier life both physically and mentally.

Why enroll your child at UGA?

At the U.G.A. we are serious about your child's success. It's about building your child's self-esteem while they learn crucial life skills like confidence, team work, respect, and self-discipline! Come see why we are parents #1 choice for their kids!

Martial Arts are great for Children

Many psychological studies have found that children who study martial arts have an increased sense of responsibility, an increase in the willingness to take positive risks, and a higher sense of self-esteem. This is why millions of parents are using martial arts to supplement their children's education.

 

The UGA Kids program targets the characteristics of the children and utilizes those characteristics to help them develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. The best part about their development is that they are learning and developing through martial arts training and a comprehensive character education program. Your child will build dynamic martial arts capabilities while gaining courage and confidence, and they will learn how to think smarter and harder with children their same age. This is a great formula for success!
