From the reviews
We told our children they had to pick one thing that interest them and stick with it. My husband took my youngest son in one day to check out a class at UMAC in Fishkill and from that day forward he has shown us skill, commitment, and excitement with every level and every step towards his goal of being a black belt.
We love UMAC Fishkill. Our son started training there and is also part of the after school program. He is so much more focused and has developed strong leadership skills. We are now training as a family. The staff and Instructors are awesome and supportive. UMAC Fishkill is not just a martial arts school.
My son started training at United Martial Arts Center 8 years ago when he was 4. The Masters and Instructors he has trained under are absolutely amazing! All the qualities he has learned has carried over to ever day life. He is very respectful, has great confidence and self control.
The program provided by UMAC Fishkill is of highest black belt status. Not knowing what to expect as first timer bringing my four year old, I immediately sensed the structured environment, yet fun atmosphere conducive to learning at this age.
New to taekwondo? Start at UMAC Fishkill
UMAC Fishkill comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at UMAC Fishkill
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.
