How UMAC Has Changed My Life







Senior
Instructor Robert Kimmins
How
UMAC Has Changed My Life


My
training as a student of the United Martial Arts Centers has made an
incomparable impact on my life. To keep the list brief, my training has given
me lifelong friends, a respect for & dedication to my health, and an
entirely unique outlook on life. With these and more benefits, I look forward
to what is in store as I continue my lifelong Tae Kwon Do journey.
As
a student of UMAC, I have been given the wonderful opportunity to train with a
countless amount of training partners. As is the case in any martial art, many
students have stopped their training during my tenure. From when I started
training eleven years ago to the present, there is only
one other student still training from when I was a White Belt. It is a unique
bond that is formed with old training partners, such that some of my old
training partners are now some of my closest friends for life. In UMAC,
however, you develop a one-of-a-kind friendship with your fellow students- a
comradery, the kind where you get excited when you see that a certain someone
or two will be taking that same class with you. I am grateful to have that
comradery with such a great number of fellow students.
Through
my leadership training, I have learned a great deal about the importance of
one’s health. An average person not training in Tae Kwon Do will have a general
understanding that it is important to stay healthy by being active and eating
healthy. That which I have learned at UMAC has expanded upon this principle. I
have been given the tools for creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I
once took a seminar with Master Paul Melella in which he explained the most
important values in his life. To my surprise, he said his #1 was his health.
And he explained why- without his health, how can he be the best husband,
father, Master, business owner, etc. that he can be? This was profound for me,
just a 17 year-old kid. Without Grand Master Ciarfella and Master Bender, I
would not have learned the importance of green tea and proper diet. Nor would I
have my Tae Kwon Do-centered outlook on life.
Through
UMAC I have learned that Tae Kwon Do is more than kicking and punching. To be a
true Tae Kwon Do martial artist, one must train mentally just as one does physically.
Not only must you develop an understanding for the Five Tenets of Tae Kwon Do,
you must also adopt them into your character. In addition to this, something
uniquely UMAC I have incorporated into my life is optimism. Through Grand
Master Ciarfella, I have learned that optimism can give you more peaceful mind,
a goal that Grand Master Kim has for all of us. It can be used from the
smallest difficulties, like having a challenge learning a new form or kick, to
the bigger life challenges, such as losing a job or a family member.
With
all I have learned, I am grateful & appreciative for how my life will be
lead in a more positive direction guided by the life lessons I have experienced
in UMAC.

10 Life Savings Self Defense Tips

Top 10 Women’s Self Defense Tips
Grand Master Edmund Ciarfella’s
United Martial Arts Centers




1. Look where you're going. Check out the gas station, ATM, 7-Eleven
etc. before you pull up/go in so you don't become part of a stickup in
progress.



2. Wake up. Turn off your iPod/iPhone etc. when out in public. Don't jog with earphones.




3. Maintain a Personal Comfort Zone. No stranger or hostile relation is
allowed to get closer than 3 feet to you without vetting or permission.



4. Walk wide around building corners. Don't get jumped.



5. React. Practice a high speed flinch response in the event you're surprised by a sound, movement or touch


6. Watch your drink. Someone could slip a knock out drug in your cocktail.




7. No stranger gets in your house. Ever. Even if it's a little girl
screaming to use your phone to call her daddy because her mommy's lying
in the road bleeding to death. Call 911 for her. Otherwise, you open the
door and 3 mutants rush in and a horrific home invasion begins.



8. Flat tire in a bad neighborhood? Drive on your rims. New wheels are a small price to pay for avoiding a violent car jacking.




9. People give you a bad feeling as you walk down a street? Do you:
Make eye contact? Don't make eye contact? Look assertive? Reach for your
gun? Walk down a different street.



10. You're being mugged for
your money. Don't fish around in your purse/wallet for bills. Be
cooperative. Give them your whole wallet (prepare a separate "mugging"
wallet.
