WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY
I’ve been with UMMA since 2015. I’ve learned a lot about how to defend myself in any situation, and how to fight back if necessary. My sensei taught me from the ground up, and helped me to become a healthier person. ‘Know the nature of self in order to defend self’ is a real true quote by our founder Br. Abdullah Sabree; it really is important to know yourself best before you can try anything; it’s best to know your limits, so you don’t hurt yourself. When I think about it now, it really is a healthy community to be part of, because we’re all working together to become stronger, faster, smarter, and better people in general. This is perfect place for all Muslims to learn Martial Arts, because we are just one big Ummah.

My progression in Tae Kwon Do through UMMA Martial Arts has been one of my greatest accomplishments. Having worked with UMMA for 5+ years, it has helped me achieve many of my goals in both my personal and professional life. I’ve had the chance to participate in a number of demonstrations that have helped boost my confidence in presenting to large audiences, as well as receiving mentorship by one of the instructors guiding me through my highschool years. Due to UMMA’s diverse group of instructors, it has helped me grow my own network of contacts; particularly in my field of study. UMMA has also provided me with a safe and comfortable environment to learn Tae Kwon Do according to Islamic principles. By attending multiple tournaments and competing against students from other schools, I learned fairness, compassion and respect not just for myself but for others as well. Overall, I’ve grown as not only a martial artist, but more so as a person through my time at UMMA.
