Martial arts is the perfect way for kids (and adults) to build confidence, discipline, focus, and character — not just stronger punches and kicks. 💥❤️

This inspiring throwback feature shares the story of Jim Fuller, owner of UMAS Karate, whose passion for martial arts has impacted families and students throughout our community for decades.

Inspired as a teenager by legends like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Chuck Norris, Fuller quickly fell in love with karate and eventually created his own teaching system focused not only on self-defense, but on developing strong character and positive values.

What makes his approach stand out is the heart behind it. Fuller believes martial arts should help students become better people — teaching focus, patience, respect, self-control, discipline, and confidence. Parents often bring children to his program for physical activity, but they leave loving the life lessons their kids gain along the way.

The article also highlights how his family, faith, and love for teaching helped grow UMAS into a lasting part of the Newton County and Conyers communities. ❤️

Summer is such a great season for trying new activities, building confidence, developing healthy habits, and helping kids grow both mentally and physically — and this story is a great reminder that sometimes the biggest lessons happen outside the classroom.

During COVID we had a family member hold the board for their child. It was such a sweet ending to a 3-4 hour exam, but more than that it was a way to celebrate the journey that these kids couldn’t make without the support of their family. No child gets to class a minimum of twice a week for a minimum of three years without the support of their family and pass or retest this is a point they get to celebrate together. It ended up being so special it’s one thing we didn’t change back.
Here are the board breaks from our amazing Junior exam.
