Learn to Protect Yourself. Train with Purpose.
At Unbridled Martial Arts (UMA), we are a non-commercial Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) school located in Bellingham, Washington. Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals of all ages and abilities to learn and improve their martial arts skills, while also promoting a sense of community and camaraderie.
Our Services
At UMA, we offer a wide range of martial arts disciplines, including Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Grappling, Jiu-Jitsu, Escrima, and Street Self-Defense. Our curriculum is designed to teach students the skills they need to effectively protect themselves, while also improving their fitness level, coordination, and mental awareness.
Stand-Up Fighting
Our Stand-Up Fighting classes incorporate elements of Western Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and other striking arts. We use Thai pads for pattern drills to hone our kicks, punches, elbows, and knees, and regularly practice clinch-fighting and submissions. Whether you're looking to improve your self-defense skills or simply get in shape, our Stand-Up Fighting classes are a great way to challenge yourself physically and mentally.
Grappling
In our Grappling classes, we focus on wrestling, takedowns, and throws, and blend grappling techniques with striking and clinch-fighting for smooth transitions between ranges. We also practice Jiu-Jitsu and occasional submissions in our Stand-Up classes, allowing us to train for all possible scenarios.
Submission Fighting
Our Submission Fighting classes teach students how to use submissions to neutralize an attacker without causing serious harm. We employ a variety of submissions, including chokes, joint locks, and submissions, and practice free-rolling during our Wednesday Grappling classes.
Escrima
In our Escrima classes, we incorporate stick- and knife-fighting techniques from the Filipino Martial Art of Escrima. This unique system allows us to train for any scenario involving a knife or blunt object wielded by an attacker.
Street Self-Defense
Our Street Self-Defense classes teach students of all skill levels how to respond appropriately to a threat. We study effective self-defense techniques for all threat levels, from escorting someone from a premises to dealing with someone attempting to inflict bodily harm.
