Marine buoys can function as high-quality aqua bags / teardrop bags. They are identical to the ones marketed to MMA gyms yet buying one sold as a buoy is less expensive. This piece of gear is essential for your “at-home” training, and UMA blackbelt Noel Abbott shows what he likes about his and how he is using it.
UMA is amazing in the respect that Rob teaches useful street applications immediately as well as sport training. I love the focus on physical conditioning along with light stretching that starts out each class. I feel that these classes are ego-free for a more safe environment for beginner to advanced student interactions, as well as formatted to all learning paradigms, from auditory and visual to kinesthetic and written. Through repetitive drilling to sparring the class reinforces good martial habits and is built upon over time while still having immediate use in day to day life. I also respect that Rob is always free to answer any questions about a particular drill or maneuver. In summary, I believe that UMA is unique in its no-nonsense approach to producing well-rounded martial artists.
