I am a former student of Master Joe Dunphy. I recieved my black sash in 1994. I was very sadend to learn of his passing. He taught me so much not only about martial arts and defending myself but also about life and how to be a good person. He was truly a great man. If you are looking for a place to learn martial arts I highly recommend this school if any of his legacy is carried on.

In practicing Tai Chi movements and mediation arts over the last several years under the leadership and guidance of their martial arts trainers, I have noticed an improvement in blood circulation, balance, energy level, fitness, as well as a reduction in stress. Trainers in Tai Chi have not only demonstrated requisite martial arts skills in… self-defense, but also, have encourage development of meditative skills, breathing exercises, alignment and balance, as well as an appreciation of physical harmony. I highly recommend Martial Arts & Fitness for its physical and meditative training

I started going here about a year ago after I visited a friend who attended, and honestly, the decision to join was one of the best decisions I've made, as it's become instrumental in my own personal growth. The people, instruction and environment here are amazing. It's easy to get caught up in the energy of this place, Master Dunphy and the… instructors under him are conscientious, patient, and kind, lessons are fun, thorough, and easily tailored to any experience level, and the physical space is organized and well-equipped. If you're at all serious about martial arts, I'd highly recommend

USM&F is a martial arts school that will bring you physical fitness, positive peer interaction, personal growth, leadership opportunities, and of course real Kung Fu! Master Dunphy, Shifu Gabe and the other leaders find ways to inspire each student no matter what level they are at. Come by and give us a try!

Well, when I started going to US Martial Arts Kung Fu & Tai Chi , I was 12 years old and was bulled because I have Cereal palsy. And when I was 16 years old and couldn't do it anymore I was a red sash with a black stripe when my next sash was going to black sash. I was stronger and more sure of myself . After all these years being absent I am now 33 years old and a first degree black belt in Karate . And its all because of Shifu Joe Dumpy. And after all these years am back working to get my first degree black sash.

My 6 yr old daughter started at US Martial Arts about 1 year ago and it has been the best experience for her. Using a mix of playful interaction and discipline at a level that can be understood by a child, Master Joe and his extremely patient staff has been able to teach her the fundamentals of Kung Fu, some self-defense moves, and helped her self-esteem. She excitedly looks forward to every Tuesday's class. I recommend US Martial Arts for all kids of all ages.
