A TRUSTED Fresno JIU JITSU & MARTIAL ARTS GYM
At Ultimate Martial Arts, how kids are taught in our Fresno Jiu Jitsu and martial arts classes matters just as much as what they learn.
We intentionally keep a low instructor-to-student ratio so every child receives real attention, correction, and encouragement during class. Kids aren’t rushed, compared, or left to figure things out on their own.
Our coaches focus on effort, respect, and steady progress. That creates a positive, structured environment where kids feel safe trying new things, learning from mistakes, and building confidence over time.
SIMPLE STRUCTURE. REAL COACHING. A PLACE KIDS ACTUALLY WANT TO COME BACK TO.
Our class schedule is designed around real family life in Fresno, making it easier for kids to train consistently without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Consistency is where confidence and progress come from.
We prioritize a high instructor-to-student ratio so every student receives real guidance, corrections, and encouragement during class. This keeps students engaged and supported, no matter their experience level.
Students gain strength and coordination, but more importantly, they build focus, discipline, and emotional control. These skills show up at school, at home, and in everyday life.
Our programs are welcoming for beginners and supportive for kids of all personalities. No experience is required! Students will always experience a positive environment where they can grow at their own pace.
Because kids grow here — on and off the mat.
01
Real schedules. Real consistency.
Our class times are designed around actual family life, not unrealistic routines.
That means kids can train consistently without parents feeling stretched thin or overwhelmed.
Consistency is where confidence and progress come from.
02
A community that supports your child.
Kids learn best when they feel encouraged and respected.
Our classes emphasize effort, kindness, and accountability, creating an environment where kids can grow at their own pace and feel proud of themselves.
Parents often tell us this is the difference they notice first.
03
More than physical training.
Yes, kids get stronger and more coordinated.
But what matters most is what carries into school and home, focus, emotional control, and the ability to handle challenges without shutting down.
Those skills matter long after class ends.
04
No experience required. No pressure.
Our programs are built for kids of all backgrounds and personalities.
Athletic or not. Outgoing or shy. New or experienced.
Every child is supported, included, and encouraged to grow.
Fresno MARTIAL ARTS
Our Fresno Jiu Jitsu and Martial Arts programs are designed to support kids, teens, and adults at every stage.
Ages 3-5
Our Lil Ninjas program for ages 3–5 helps young children build confidence in a safe, structured environment. Through simple Jiu Jitsu-based movement and guided martial arts activities, kids learn to listen, follow direction, and try again when something feels challenging.
We are here to help your little one grow in focus, confidence, and social skills that carry into school and home.
Ages 6-10
Our Kids Jiu Jitsu program for ages 6 to 10 combines structured training with steady encouragement. Students learn real self-defense skills while building focus, discipline, and emotional resilience. As challenges grow in school and life, the confidence they build here helps them handle pressure, stay calm, and believe in their ability to figure things out.
Ages 11-15
Our Teen MMA program gives students ages 11 to 15 the structure and coaching they need to grow in both skill and confidence. In smaller class settings, instructors provide personal attention while teaching striking, grappling, and Jiu Jitsu fundamentals. Teens develop discipline, resilience, and self-control that support them in school, friendships, and everyday challenges.
Ages 16+
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focuses on practical self defense rooted in technique and leverage. Students learn how to control and defend against larger opponents through structured, hands-on training.
Along the way, they build strength, endurance, and lasting confidence. The result is not just physical skill, but the ability to stay composed and capable under pressure.
Adult Friendly
Our Adult Kickboxing classes combine conditioning, technique, and structured training to help you build lean muscle, improve endurance, and boost overall fitness.
This program is for adults who want to push themselves in a focused environment. It is about showing up consistently, building strength, and feeling confident in your own skin.
Looking for a birthday party that keeps kids moving and smiling? Our martial arts birthday parties combine guided games, beginner Jiu Jitsu activities, and hands-on fun in a safe and organized setting. We take care of everything so parents can focus on celebrating their little one! It is a unique experience that kids remember long after the candles are blown out.
TESTIMONIALS


"we couldn’t be happier with the experience!"
Our three-year-old has been attending Ultimate Martial Arts Academy for only a month and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! The structure and guidance provided by the instructors have made a huge difference in his behavior and listening skills. We’ve noticed significant improvement in his patience, focus, and ability to follow directions — all while having so much fun!

"We love the friendliness of the staff, the energy, the passion"
We love UMA. We love the friendliness of the staff, the energy, the passion they have for the art and the students, and their value for family/parenting. My son has been going for two months now and he absolutely loves it. He is fond of his instructors and looks forward to go weekly.

"The training environment is fantastic"
I have been training in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program at Ultimate Martial Arts for two years now, and it has been an incredible journey. I have competed in several tournaments, achieved some wins, and grown tremendously in the sport. The training environment is fantastic, and my teammates have become like family to me.

The physical skills matter, but what parents notice most are the changes at home and at school. This is about helping kids grow into confident, capable humans, not just learning techniques.
