My 10 year old son kept getting in trouble at school. Over and over, the disciplinary actions became tougher and tougher. It wasn't working. Deciding I didn't like the direction of my son's behavior, I knew he needed direction. He needed to better understand the concepts of courtesy, self-control, and respect. He also had too much energy, and too much free time. He needed an activity, and needed to learn lessons you just can't find in normal sports. He needed someone who would be tough on him, who would wear him out. I decided to enroll him in martial arts. I wasn't expecting my son to love it as much as he does. He took to martial arts like it was something he'd been missing his entire life. And I wasn't prepared for the results. His behavior has drastically improved at home, at school or anywhere he goes. i feel that this wouldn't have been possible without the help of Master Abel and Sarah Ucelo. These people aren't just trying to teach kids how to kick butt, they're helping to mold future leaders. They're influencing kids to better themselves, their surroundings and everyone around them. To better their communities. Their school has a comfortable, local feel. There are no bullies, this isn't Cobra Kai. They're here to make a difference, and from what I've seen, they've already succeeded. I found Ucelo Martial Arts by chance. Pulling up a quick search, I chose the nearest school. I wasn't expecting to find the best. 10 Gold Stars for UMA.

Our 5 year old kiddo has been training at ucelo for about two months, and...wow. I love this studio and more importantly the community they create. First off, the kids go through legit work outs...no joke...the fitness element is real. But more importantly Master Abel is so impressive with the kids. He is structured, appropriately assertive, tender, light hearted, and emphasizes the values and decorum that is missing in so much of modern life. He cultivates leadership among his students in a way that provides extremely constructive role modeling for everyone observing. We love how the people behave in and around this business and are hopeful that these experiences will positively influence our little one and help her become her best self. If you are considering ucelo martial arts just go watch one class...you will see it too

We love Ucelo Martial Arts! We enrolled our daughter when she turned 5 in hopes of improving some behavioral issues we were struggling with. Her behavior improved drastically!!!! and we couldn't be prouder of her. Master Abel and Sarahi have left a lasting impression on our daughter, she loves and admires them, and I couldn't be more grateful for them.

This school is amazing with amazing people. At UMA you are accepted as family. Your children are in wonderful hands. They do not disappoint.

This is hands down the best karate school. My daughter has gained so much from practicing martial arts with Master Abel and Miss Sarah. They are both amazingly encouraging and they genuinely care about their students. UMA really is a big family. It's a great place with wonderful people!

Great family oriented environment. Positive attitude from instructors and coaches. Kids enjoy coming to their class and always looking forward to it.

I enjoy their adult Karate and Kickboxing classes as it keeps me active. They even offer Jujitsu beginner classes for those looking into that field.

Best martial arts school in Glendale. Both Sarahi and Master Abel treat everyone as family. My kids love going to class and strive to do their best both at home and martial arts class.

My son absolutely loves it here and he looks forward to going to class . The energy and atmosphere is very warm and welcoming , you can feel it as soon as you walk in . I've seen such positive changes in my son and it's only been about a month . My husband and I truly feel that this was definitely one of our better decisions , I highly recommend this place . I personally love the teachings of respect and teamwork , and the inclusiveness .

I'm very impressed with the Ucelo's family leadership and professionalism. Both of my daughters attend class for almost 1 year, my husband and I are extremely pleased and happy to be a part of the UMA Team! We love the family oriented environment.

I loved the workout! I had never done Kickboxing and they really made me feel at ease and very helpful in guiding me through the class. The instructors are great! I wish I could have kept going to the classes. Highly recommend this place.


Service has been very comfortable and personal. Sue is wonderful and makes you feel very at ease. Appreciate the genuine care that she and the staff have for their members. Joe was a tremendous help during my first session - knows what he's talking about and able to help immediately if I needed to modify anything to meet my skill/ability level. He made it a positive first experience with kickboxing and I'm excited to get into a regular schedule with classes!

I have never done kickboxing before. Sue made it easy to sign up. They showed us steps, moves, cool down. The moves are fun. The music keeps you moving. My husband, my son and I love it.

I haven’t worked out in a very long time but decided to try kickboxing and I fell in love with it instantly! Sue spent the first class (an hour) with me to make sure I was using the right techniques and wouldn’t hurt myself. I decided in the first class to sign up for the unlimited program. I cannot wait to see the results that come from these classes. Thank you Sue, Joe, and Amy for your help in my first two classes.

Absolutely LOVE this place! The classes are so much fun. You leave feeling like you're chipping away at your goals! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly! No judgement whatsoever. Looking forward to all the classes to come!

ILoveKickboxing is phenomenal!! The instructors are awesome. They all are very welcoming. They make it a point to remember who you are and what your name is. The classes are high-energy and good vibes all around. (good music, too). Everyone is super encouraging. They are consistent with helping you build your confidence and will continue to help you with the fundamentals to keep up in the classes. The first week, you will feel like you can't keep up, but keep going! Soon enough, you will be punching and kicking those bags, no problem. It's so much fun, every single class is, and it's a great stress relief as well. I completed the 6-week challenge, and I will continue to come back. This place has changed how I view the fitness and health industry. Sue, Joe, Khoa and Amy keep up the hard work, you guys are killing it.

Started my fitness journey at iLoveKickboxing 6 weeks ago when I was searching for an activity to help me get in shape. Over the course of doing the 6 week challenge, I realized that the workout regime and the diet were not only improving me physically, but were also helping me mentally by giving me an outlet after a stressful day at work. It also really brought more structure into my life as far as not eating out as much and focusing on being healthier as a whole. It was nice having classes at a variety of convenient times, and the instructors were all super friendly and willing to provide feedback if you don't get the routine or moves right away. Overall, I am really happy with my results, especially just in time for summer :)

I began my new workout adventure in mid October with my sister who highly recommended I love kickboxing Glendale. My first class was impressive love the high energy from all the instructors and owner Sue. I always feel welcomed when I arrive and I get the best kick butt workout. I look forward every day to my next work out. After every work out I feel stronger and exhausted. If you want a good work out come see us at ILKBGlendale

I have been coming here for about 6 weeks. Not only do I feel more energized but I feel stronger and more confident. The instructors always help you out if you aren’t getting something. I always feel comfortable here and I love to make new friends too!
