Amazing place for your little one to learn discipline and techniques and respect. I highly recommend it. My son has ADHD and the instructors here are very patient and are trained for kids with ADHD. My son has been attending for 3 weeks now and we have already noticed a change. We enjoy the 1on1 with Master Ucelo. I would like to also add that this place is family owned and very friendly. Sarahi has treated like family is always attentive. If you want your little one to learn Karate this is the place. They also offer striking and BJJ for adults which I am excited to sign up for.

I love this OHANA(family) 🥰Glendale Ucelo Martial arts is the best place if u want your children to learn respect & confidence 🥋My daughter started @ 5yrs old when they first opened it with Master Miguel as her sabumnim & she has only got stronger & definitely confident. Master Abel shows a strong sense of patience & understanding with children of all ages. I would highly recommend this mixed martial arts family.

I cannot say enough positive about ucelo martial arts. Truly. The owners are so so so respectful and supportive, providing confident leadership to their students. I love the skills my kiddo is learning. I love the confidence she is building. I love the community this family has built. We get much more from this studio than the lessons we buy each month. If I could give then ten stars I would!

UMA is so much more than teaching a class. Both Sarah & Master Abel are dedicated to helping shape the youths and futures of the students who attend class. Many of the Asst instructors were once small children learning the techniques of karate. Speaks volumes to their integrity and dedication of UMA.

Ucelo Martial arts is much more than just a Martial Arts studio. They provide a welcoming and loving environment and teach their students other concepts besides martial arts. The kids classes focus on life skills that the kids can apply to their everyday lives. Their martial art classes help develop character, discipline, and many other tools. Do not hesitate to stop by and experience this amazing studio for yourself and your kids!

I am a black belt at Ucelo Martial Arts and I have been training here for over 9 years. This school has amazing staff/instructors that always puts their students first. Weather it is staying after class to help their students on techniques or simply encouraging them to be a better version of themselves. I can proudly say I have learned very important qualities, such as confidence, respect, determination, and how to be a great teammate. I would definitely recommend this Martial Arts school! :)

We LOVE Ucelo! They not only teach martial arts strength and technique for the body, but also values to strengthen the mind. They teach the kids discipline, kindness, work ethic, and so much more. I love how they focus on a different attribute each month. They had the kids sign an anti bully pledge. They do a group hike at the beginning of each year. They have the most awesome Halloween parties. Always respond right away, super friendly, family oriented. I cannot recommend them enough!

We moved from California and my son had been in Karate for many years but took a break when we moved out here. He wanted to get back to karate and we found UCELO in Glendale, he went to a private lesson and really liked it. We are so happy we found this place, my son loves going to karate and admires and respects his master Abel. Sarah is always available to help or answer any questions. My son’s goal is to become a black belt and I see that happening with the training and dedication UCELO provides for my him. I recommend UCELO to anyone that asks me about karate lessons.

We have been at Ucelo for two years now, and my daughter loves it. She is not only learning how to defend herself, but more importantly she is learning & practicing values that are equally important to our family and the Ucelo family. If you or your child are looking to learn how to defend yourself, be a positive influence on others, and have an extended family this is the place for you.

Great martial arts school! A few years ago we had looked a different martial arts schools. We then came across Ucelo Martial Arts-Glendale. From the moment we walked in, we greeted and really felt like a family oriented school. My family loves being a part of the UMA family. The instructors provide a personal approach when teaching. Grand Master Miguel, Master Abel, and Sarahi are great! Highly recommend!

I am so grateful to have found UMA! I lost my father in April this year, & my mother isn’t well. However, coming her definitely helps me! It not only helps me physically, but also mentally. Thank you Master Able, Thank you Grand Master Miguel, & a another thank you to Sarahi for always being such wonderful people.PS. They keep the establishment very neat and clean. They completely understand life can get in the way, & they will help you catch up if you need a lil help.

Great Staff. My child has Anxiety and she is a different person now. UCELO Martial Arts has helped her to control her Anxiety and gave her the confidence to be more social. She has joined sports in High School. Martal Arts has given her Stability during these days of Covid-19. I am grateful to have found this place. Learning to defend herself is a Bonus.

Highly recommend this martial arts company to all ages! Some times martial arts classes can be intimidating but the UMA family are very welcoming, encourages individuals to never give up and have fun while striving to do their best. Being apart of the Little Tigers, my son enjoys his class and new friends as well as remembers each lesson his Master teaches; which we continue to implement at home. Some of the classes the parents participate with their children making it more interactive and memorable. So happy to have such a great martial arts company in the Glendale community. Awesome job Master Abel & Sarah!

We have had our two girls (ages 5 & 8) at Ucelo Martial Arts since July of 2019. I have seen the girls grow immensely in confidence, strength, and discipline. This is a family run business and it is clear that they love what they do in how they treat the students. My entire family would recommend Ucelo Martial Arts to anyone!

We love Ucelo Martial Arts! We enrolled our daughter when she turned 5 in hopes of improving some behavioral issues we were struggling with. Her behavior improved drastically!!!! and we couldnt be prouder of her. Master Able and Sarahi have left a lasting impression on our daughter, she loves and admires them, and I couldnt be more grateful for them.

My daughter Autumn and I absolutely love UCELO Martial Arts! Autumn has so much admiration towards Sarahi and Master Abel. The genuine care the instructors have with each and every one of their students- as a parent I could not ask for more. I have noticed Autumn’s attitude, behavior and autonomy improve in just the 6 months we have been there. I can’t wait to see where Martial Arts takes Autumn not only on the mat but in life. We are grateful for you both and thank you for all you do!

Review №47

My son and daughter both do marital arts at this school; they were both very shy before entering, and afraid to be themselves. The instructors right away made them feel at home, and among family, teaching them self confidence and to believe in themselves. At Ucelo Martial Arts the instructors are very knowledgeable, and experienced not only in martial arts, but at being a true model for everyone that attends their school. They teach you honor, respect, give it your best, and giving up on yourself is never ok. I have been extremely happy with UMA; they have made my whole family feel like family.
