From the reviews
I can't say enough great things about United Martial Arts Center Middletown .From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the professionalism, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are incredibly skilled and well experienced to work with various age groups as young a 3 years old.
ETA!!! Now that we’ve been there for a while, I just want to add that Master Munoz is absolutely amazing!! He is such a great instructor, I love his energy and the way he teaches the class!!
My son has been attending UMAC for these past few months with Master Ed and it's been a complete transformation. My son lacks the confidence he needs to not be a pushover and has had kids pick on him on the bus so I felt it necessary that he learns to defend and stick up for himself.
Joining UMAC Taekwondo has been one of the best decisions for our family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and a deep respect for the martial arts tradition.
New to taekwondo? Start at United Martial Arts Centers Middletown
United Martial Arts Centers Middletown 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 United Martial Arts Centers Middletown
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.
