Martial arts classes

offered at UMA 812 Chestnut location

Urban Movement Arts is proud to be partnered with Martial Posture Studio at 812 Chestnut. Martial Posture is one of the longest standing Martial Arts institutions in Center City, Philadelphia, founded by Tom Updegrove in 1980. 

Why Has Martial Posture been one of the best choices for Martial Arts training in the Philadelphia area for the past 42 years? Our unique system incorporates Kenpo Karate, Kickboxing, and fundamental Jiu Jitsu concepts in a fun, friendly, and encouraging atmosphere. Practice of system creates holistic benefits for life!

Strength training - Our Martial Arts Classes build strength in a real, functional way, regardless of age! Build your body as you hone your mind using applicable, real-world techniques
Flexibility & Mobility – Flexibility isn’t just for showing off, it has tremendous health benefits from increased quality of life to injury reduction, especially outside of Martial Arts, in everyday life.
Agility – Increased balance awareness and precision turn you into an everyday superhero. You’ll be able to use your body to its fullest potential, building skills day by day. Fight off the effects of aging and achieve your full physical potential
Holistic Growth – So you’re not a kid anymore and you’re just done with personal growth? Not if you’re with us! Our students typically say that one the main reasons they attend classes is that they’re constantly leveling up physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Relationships – It’s tough for adults to find a group of people who support them, help them through challenges, and push them to be their best. That’s exactly what our classes are all about!

We understand it can be intimidating starting a martial arts class and often concerns start popping up into our head such as “am I too old”, “will I get hurt”, “am I coordinated enough”? We want GUARANTEE that our program is the right choice for people that:
-Want a safe supportive environment
-Want to get into the best shape of their lives
