Members of the award winning British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA) means ​we offer our students (and parents) the very best in safeguarding, first aid, accreditation and insurance. It also means that as members we have unique opportunities to work with charitable causes and cutting edge initiatives both locally and nationally.

Our academy in Eastleigh, (as humble as it is) is part of a wider network of independently run schools. It wont be long before you can travel anywhere in the world and find a UMA school on your door step. The network is growing bigger all the time with friendly, like minded martial artists and instructors.

Indeed, an obvious benefit and worthy of extra attention. As we grow older, physical capabilities can decrease. But its never too late for your body to respond to UMA training and in a few months of regular exercise many of our students (young and old) have discovered improvements in speed, flexibility and balance.

We are very proud to be associated with our 3 venues, located in Eastleigh. Whether it be the modern studios complete with mirrors, Le Mark flooring, etc. Or the community centre and village hall. We offer classes in these venues because of the community they serve.

Because everyone at the Aspire UMA Academy has common goals; its a great place to make friendships with other, like-minded students and instructors. There's an openness and family friendly atmosphere which UMA embodies.

This is a massive benefit that we often see across all UMA schools. The transformative power of self-confidence needs no explaining. But its positive effects on an individuals life reach far beyond the Dojang. Often in Children we see a more relaxed and focused student and Adults, a more in tune and mindful martial artist.
