About Universal Martial Arts Academy

Universal Martial Arts Academy is a martial arts school for children, teens and adults with dojos in Dubai Silicon Oasis (the Honbu Dojo at Lynx Tower), Al Qusais (the Apple Dojo near Dafza Metro Station), Al Quoz (the Dewvale Dojo), Wadi Al Safa (the Aquila Dojo at The Aquila School) and Al Karama. The academy teaches traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate, plus taekwondo, kalaripayattu, kickboxing and self-defence. It says four is the ideal starting age, and kids and teens train in separate groups. Karate follows a belt system from white to black, and children receive a certificate each time they pass a level. Fees are monthly: AED300 for 8 classes or AED350 for 12, paid in advance, as listed on the registration form. The academy's contact page gives Dubai Silicon Oasis classes on weekday evenings, weekend mornings and weekend evenings. Ask which classes run at the dojo nearest you.

The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Martial arts give kids a structured, step-by-step way to train: stances, strikes, blocks and coordination drills that build up level by level, with a coloured belt to earn at each stage. Along the way children work on fitness, balance, focus and self-control, and learn to follow a coach and train respectfully alongside others. Universal Martial Arts Academy teaches karate in the traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu style, plus taekwondo, kalaripayattu (a martial art from Kerala in southern India), kickboxing and self-defence. The academy says four is the ideal age to start, and many clubs split younger children and teens into separate groups so each trains at the right pace.

Who it's for

Children from age 4, which the academy calls the ideal starting age, through to their teens. Kids and teens train in separate groups. Adults train too. Nothing is published about special needs support, so ask the provider.

What to expect

Kids' classes mix stances, basic strikes and blocks, coordination drills and structured routines that build up level by level. For karate, the academy suggests two to three sessions a week for better progress. The rules on the registration form ask students to arrive 5 minutes early, keep their nails trimmed and wear no jewellery. Parents and visitors are not allowed into the class, which the academy says follows UAE sports council rules. Nothing is published about a trial class or kit, so ask the provider.
