About Us:
The Upward Martial Arts team is dedicated to helping people achieve their dreams on and off the mat. We help students pinpoint their goals and tailor our curriculum to their needs. Our instructors ensure success through check-ins and 1-on-1 training. We believe training benefits everyone! Throughout their martial arts training, they’ll develop self-defense skills, discipline, confidence, and a healthy competitive spirit. Regardless of your age or previous experience, you’ll be welcome into a positive space where you can safely experiment with martial arts. Upward Martial Arts is proudly associated with ATA, an inclusive, international-growing community of hardworking martial artists.
Our History:
Co-owner Emma Ball started practicing karate at 4 years old before diving into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do, and Krav Maga. She dove deep into Tae Kwon Do for its great community structure and ability to practice forever, regardless of age, skill, or injuries. Upward Martial Arts started as a small club and launched as an official studio in September 2024. Before its relaunch, Emma always helped in her classes and became a certified instructor, striving to always help students reach their goals.
