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

My fiancé Jeremy and myself have been attending class at Unbridled Martial Arts for nearly 3 months now. The main reason we chose Unbridled was because of the reasonable rates. We figured for $30 each per month we had nothing to lose. I was very nervous about going because I have not had any previous experience with martial arts or fitness in general. However it only took a couple of classes for me to feel completely comfortable and confident in my ability to learn under Rob’s instruction. Jeremy really enjoys training with Rob because of the diversity of the training. Jeremy does have some background in martial arts and wrestling and Rob is always open minded about what other people have to offer to his class. I enjoy training with Rob because he is attentive and if he sees me doing something incorrectly he shows me how to do it right without discouraging me or making me feel silly. I also like that rather than sticking with one traditional style, Rob just teaches what works. It’s about effective self-defense instead of belt bragging. I would highly recommend this class to anyone. In fact we have and some of our friends have already joined. I personally feel terrific after each class regardless of how my day began.
