This was my second time participating in this great concealed carry class. Both times were consistently the perfect blend of training that everyone should take to prepare them to everyday carry a firearm -- learning in the classroom and then practical hands-on experience. Be prepared for training in (unloaded) firearm handling, situational awareness exercises, non-firearm self-defense techniques, and then a fun time at the shooting range. Thanks, Corey!

Great concealed carry class! This is not a boring class where you sit on your hands. Cory adds in some striking and grappling, along with safe pistol handling with plastic training guns, on his cushioned dojo mats. Then he takes you to a gun range. Highly recommend to women or people who aren't familiar with firearms.

This was a great class that everyone should take if they want to get a concealed carry permit. I was in the military a long time ago, but never used a handgun. Not only did Cory train me how to load, eject, clear a jam, point, and fire the handgun, but also how to get out of having to use it in the first place. We learned some basic martial arts/defense moves and the instruction included when and when not to use your handgun. At the end, we got to fire two clips (10 shots) at a target. After the class, I was tired from all the defensive moves and gun practice, but it was well worth it and I highly recommend taking this class.

This was my first class for concealed carry. My daughter and I both attended. It was a great experience for both of us. I was apprehensive at first about the requirements of the course and what would be covered. The material was covered in a way that someone with limited knowledge of the topic, like me, could fully grasp it. There were opportunities to take the classroom material and reinforce it in practical applications during the class. Range qualification was stress free and with the training we were given it went very smoothly. Mr. Albert was engaging, professional and knowledgeable and I would recommend his class highly.

Unified Martial Arts Academy is truly outstanding! I attended their self-defense training and had an incredibly positive experience—Cory is phenomenal as an instructor: patient, knowledgeable, and motivating. What sets this academy apart is the individual attention and genuine support they offer every student, no matter the skill level. Their prices are the best in the area, allowing access to high-quality training without breaking the bank. I felt guided every step of the way and left each session feeling more confident and empowered. I highly recommend Unified Martial Arts Academy to anyone looking to learn effective self-defense in a welcoming environment!
