Today I became a Brazilian Jiu jitsu Black belt. I'd like to say thank you to professor Gustavo Machado for teaching me the art off BJJ, and believing in me. This is just the beginning. Thanks to everyone who came out and participated in our Women's self-defense seminar today. We truly enjoy giving back to the community.

*This is Jennifer posting* Robert & his team led a self defense class for our team at work. It was great! Robert is definitely a skilled, well rounded martial arts teacher and beyond. His team was wonderful too and helpful with demonstrations. Extremely hands (and feet and legs and...you name it! ;) ) on. Real life scenarios were given and techniques were taught of how to maneuver out of these situations. We appreciate your time spent with all of us. THANK YOU!

UGMMA Rocks! Robert Wilson is a very dedicated, hardworking, thorough, and highly experienced coach.
He always goes above and beyond to make sure his students receive the best training possible, while helping each of them reach their full potential, and achieve great accomplishments during their MMA/Boxing journey.
I recommend everyone come check out UGMMA as you will not be disappointed.

My kids started training at UGMMA during the summer of 2014 and loved it! UGMMA made a huge impact on their physical and mental development. The physical part was rough when they first started (even though they have been playing soccer 3 years prior) but now it's more mental (more like muscle memory) because there is ton to learn. We like that they are trained in boxing, karate and jiu-jitsu, these combinations keep them busy. My kids get bored really quick... Coach Rob is an awesome instructor and great with kids! He requires every kid to bring in their report card to ensure they are doing well

I've put my son in this program, and he's been going for a year and a half, and he's learned a lot about MMA and self defense here. This was the best decision I've ever made. Coach Rob is great and you should try out UGMMA.

Coach Rob is super! Incredible teacher, informative, and makes classes fun for the kids and parents as well as keeping it challenging at the same time. My son was nervous in the beginning but now loves every single class offered. I've even signed up for adult classes. Love the school!

Best experience I've ever had in my life. This gym has a great coach and teacher who knows what he's doing. He has given me confidence and skill I never thought I had. This gym can change your life if you just work for it.

I signed my son up for this class about 6 months ago and I can definitely see a difference in his endurance and confidence. You cant beat one on one attention and attention to details, that's offered. I would highly recommend this school to everyone.
