From the reviews
Amazing dojang. Master is an outstanding person who truly cares about the students he teaches. Keeps children engaged and having fun while learning important lessons about respect, confidence, and self-defense. Professional and friendly staff, too! The best taekwondo place around.
We love UMAC Ardsley! Our daughter loves taking lessons from Master B! She gets so excited for class! Everyone on staff is courteous and professional! They have wonderful patience with kids in class and really help them grow as individuals in class and as well as outside of the school!
Master B and the compassionate, talented instructors took me from a nerdy noodle with no martial arts ability, all the way to soon to be 2nd-degree blackbelt and instructor. Taekwondo has changed my life, and UMAC Ardsley is the place that did it.
The training my son did with Master B. (vinny Bellantoni) was priceless. I think it gave him over the last 8-9 years a better sense of direction, confidence, and direction. A child is like a sponge, and their environment is important.
Your first taekwondo class at UMAC Ardsley - United Martial Arts Centers
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
