Strengthen mind, body & spirit with these powerful Applied Wing Chun classes that teach self-defence, and get you in great shape fast. The Ultimate Martial Arts Academy opened in 2004 and has been growing ever since - through the number of students that become a part of our family, to the personal growth that each student makes from their martial arts training.
Our school offers a clean and safe environment for students to learn self-defence from an experienced head instructor of over 25+ years of martial arts training. Our academy is much more than just martial arts training. We are a lifestyle. This is evident as we have families who train in both our programs - Adults and Children.

My name is Henry Araneda, together with my wife Cristina we both teach our Li'l Tigers Kids Martial Arts program in our school here in Hallam. I would like to tell you the three kinds of children that I've seen walk through the doors of our Martial Arts academy time and time again. Child #2 - "Too Easy Going" Smart kid, but needed something that would really stir him/her up and awaken his/her potential.

Ultimate Martial Arts Academy is an awesome place to develop your self defense skills and confidence. My 3 kids and I have found Sifu Henry and his team really accommodating and easy to work with. I would encourage anyone interested in martial arts to give this place a go and guarantee you will not be disappointed.

UMAA is a terrific place for my son to learn discipline , sportsmanship , responsibility and morals . Just love how Sifu Henry Araneda has a way with his students which is then seen in them . His encouragement, his life stories and his words of wisdom makes the class very interesting . Even in lockdown each class was prepared with a lot of hard work and planning . Well done Christina and Sifu Henry and not forgetting your kids - one awesome family and you’ll are definitely an Inspiration to my family .

I love training here! The community feel is great. Sifu Henry Araneda has exceptional knowledge, patience and the program caters for all levels. As a beginner, the experienced students work with you to develop your skills and practice. I always feel welcome, supported and leave feeling like I’ve exercised and improved my fitness without the pain that comes with other gym programs. Highly recommended!

Beautiful club! Loved by our son who is saddened at not being able to pursue what he loves and looks forward to doing each week with the Academy. Due to not being able to pursue this passion due to his Spectrum limitations which cannot be worked around within the Academy. What a shame!! We will look elsewhere. Further to this I found that this matter has never been communicated by the Academy to either parents. We have worked with our son in resolving many of the quirks of his condition before they become a hinderance down the line. But this means knowing about them so we have time to deal with

This place is just not about learning martial arts, it is about building a personality, posture and self belief...has been one of the most postive experience for my daughter....she is finally able to relate committing to something and reaping the benefits. Teacher is very passionate and we havent experienced a day where a class has been run just cause, his energy levels and passion of passing the art and goodwill is commendable. Overall one of the best decisions we made for our child's development.

My son Yusuf has been training Wing Chun Kung Fu for the past two and a half years with the Li’l Tigers class under the guidance of SiFu Henry Araneda. He has gained so much confidence and discipline which has helped improve his relationship with fellow students and teachers and his grades. SiFu Henry is a very passionate instructor who cares for the kids and encourages them to be the best they can be at every opportunity. The facilities are great and there is ample parking for parents. I would encourage all parents to come down and check out the Academy

Sifu Henry Araneda is the real deal. NO BS! We are fortunate to have someone of his calibre instructing here, in Hallam. I was fortunate enough to have been introduced to Sifu through a family member whom has been under Sifu Henry's guidance for over a decade. I started off in his Kickboxing cardio and self defence classes, (4 years ago) about a year after that I started training in the Applied Wing Chun system. Its been just over 3 years, and I absolutely love it. The confidence I've gained is priceless. It's also a great way to stay in shape and get strong/fit.
