Who are we

About Us

United Martial Arts Club (UMC) began in 2016 with a vision to create a space where martial arts training empowers individuals beyond just technique. Starting with only 3 students, we’ve grown into one of Bengaluru’s most trusted names in martial arts, training over 1000+ students across disciplines like Karate, Kickboxing, MMA, and Gymnastics.

Our team of experienced coaches brings a blend of traditional techniques and modern fitness to every class, ensuring that students are not only skilled but also disciplined, confident, and ready to face life’s challenges. At UMC, we emphasize self-defense, fitness, and personal growth in a motivating and safe environment.

We have actively participated in numerous Karate tournaments, MMA championships, and kickboxing tournaments, while also conducting self-defense workshops, corporate seminars, and college professional courses. We offer Black Belt certifications and provide a comprehensive platform for both recreational and competitive athletes to thrive.

As we continue to grow, our mission remains clear: to nurture confident individuals who excel in and out of the dojo. At UMC, training is more than technique — it’s about creating a supportive community, individual growth, and building the inner strength to face any challenge.

Founder’s Message

Shihan Raju P

When we started UMC, it wasn’t just about creating fighters — it was about shaping confident individuals who can face challenges with discipline, focus, and strength. That vision still drives everything we do today.

Founder & Chief Instructor
