Washington State Department of Health info on vaccinating youth

When booking for a small group, you supply your group.  I do not assemble the group for you.
You pay for 4 students.  It is up to you whether you fill those 4 openings.

Q.)  What is the difference between One-on-one lessons and Small Group sessions?
A.)  One-on-one lesson: the child receives 100% of the instructor’s attention and the most amount of work is accomplished.
Small group:  with more children the personal attention is divided among the group.

History:
UMA instructor Rob Eis teaches several martial arts courses to young adults at Western Washington University. He is a former juvenile corrections officer who taught PE activities to incarcerated youth, and has taught martial arts to young children since the early `90s.  
Children’s program:
I often see kids’ martial arts programs that baffle me.  They say they’ll help you by granting your child a Black Belt.  Or that they’ll give your child confidence against bullies.  Or that they’ll make your child physically fit.  These all sound like very external achievements.

Parents, I would like to give you something different and something real instead of a trophy or the imagery of defeating an imaginary monster. My goal is to teach your child valuable lessons through fun and exciting martial arts training.

These include:

  • Gaining physical and emotional self-control
  • Learning how to process anger
  • Developing laser-like focus and determination
  • Respecting and caring about family and others
  • Overcoming  shyness
  • Resistance to peer pressure
  • Getting the most out of their education
  • Diminishing fears and anxiety

Peace-of-mind and Background checks:
Whatcom County recognizes the need for integrity in government, and its citizens consider government service to be a matter of public trust. Given my work with at-risk teens when I worked for Juvenile Corrections, I take this trust seriously. Juvenile Corrections officers must undergo an extensive application and background investigation process. This process is designed to elicit information to determine character, suitability, and competence for the position.

In order to work for Whatcom County as a Juvenile Corrections Officer I had to pass these integrity standards tests and background investigations, which included polygraph tests, psychological tests, drug tests, fingerprint check, criminal history and driving record checks. I can assure you these tests meet or exceed the standards of any criminal background tests conducted at other martial arts schools.

The results of these tests ensure I have never committed or been accused of any crimes against children.

Testimonial

In 2006 I discovered the UFC and my passion for MMA. I decided that lifting weights and jogging were too boring and not for me so I joined a commercial Muay Thai gym. I was quickly disappointed with the school and with my membership. Not only did it cost me a lot of money every month, I had to sign a ridiculous contract. The classes were very slow-paced with lots of practicing in front of a mirror and bowing to everyone. Then I heard about Unbridled Martial Arts‘ low price, no contracts, no belts, no kids. It was a no-brainer that I had to start training with Rob at UMA. I was amazed at how well Rob’s classes were structured and utilized every minute. I learned practical techniques and even had a chance to do some light sparring in my first week. I was instantly hooked. Rob has taught so much throughout the years and continues to teach me new techniques and ways to improve upon old techniques each class. I have so much respect and appreciation for all Rob has done for me, his students and our community.
