My daughter and her best friend both really enjoy going to class! I especially love the discipline at UMF—it helps children build good habits from a young age. I’ve already recommended it to several of my friends.

UMF has been our biggest blessing over the last 12 months. Our son struggling to find passion and motivation to attend sports prior to now and struggling with focus and coordination. Since coming to UMF the physical and mental strength he has accomplished has been amazing to watch and he loves coming to class. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere that everyone at UMF has demonstrated makes it pleasure coming there each week.

The teachers dedication and commitment to the students and the programs they run are by far 5 star quality ⭐️

Extremely welcoming community and great place to attend. Pablo, Emilio and team have been helpful, accommodating and cater to our differing abilities, skills and ages including the skills being learnt at each class which are great for fitness, coordination as well as self defence if needed. Every morning has turned into "is it karate day today mum?" Highly recommend.

UMF Academy is not a sole martial arts facility, but a school and family where you would feel yourself belong. If you or your kid likes being responsible, being fair, share with others, learn from others, teach others, would like being part of a cause, and stand up for the one in need, they will develop their skills so much by being part of UMF family.

Our family has been with UMF going on 7 years and we are still enjoying what UMF brings to their teaching. It is an amazing community and has allowed our children and ourselves to thrive in life with many teachings that can be applied anywhere in life. There is tremendous value on what UMF, Sifu Pablo and Sihing Emilio offer.

UMF has been amazing for our son who attends the Young Warriors class. In a short time we've noticed an improvement in his confidence, discipline, perseverance and fitness. The instructors are all fantastic and make it such a fun and welcoming environment. We feel like he's getting so much more out of UMF than 'just a martial arts class'. I can't recommend highly enough!

I’ve known Sifu Pablo Cardenis for many years. Pablo is extremely friendly, approachable and professional. Townsville has come a long way with the Martial Arts and Pablo and Team UMF are second to none with their vast knowledge in multiple systems and the friendly and safe atmosphere throughout the Academy. If you’re looking for Self Defence, General Fitness or Professional Fighting for yourself, family members or for a Friends I highly recommend you visit the UMF ACADEMY… You won’t be disappointed.

My children and I have been attending UMF for the past 4 years, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The instructors are incredibly skilled and passionate, creating a supportive and motivating environment for students of all levels. Since joining, we have gained significant improvements in our technique, resilience, and overall confidence. The classes are well-structured and offer a great balance of technique and practical application, helping us to refine our skills effectively. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for top-notch training. I highly recommend UMF to anyone looking to enhance their martial arts skills or simply get into better shape. It’s a fantastic place to train and grow!
