“Union, noun: an act or instance of uniting or joining two or more things into one.”

Union Combat Academy opened its door in November of 2020 in Mesa, Arizona. The brainchild of Head Coach Sean Martin, the idea was to create a space where coaches, fighters, and hobbyist can come together to from a solid foundation for a team, in other words to form a union. We have built a place for martial artists to grow as individuals and as a team. No matter what goals of our athletes, our goal remains the same, to give you the tools, the training and the experience to shape you into the athlete you want to be. Offering training in Muay Thai, boxing, grappling and MMA we have a fit for every type of combat sports athlete.

As we look to the future 2 plans stand out.

Number 1 being the promotion and growth of our competition team. As the world begins to adapt and come back from the global COVID-19 pandemic we are beginning to see more opportunities for our athletes to compete. After the long layoff, these athletes are hyper focused and hungry for competition.   It is our honor to help drive these athletes forward and give the tools needed to compete at the highest level.

The second goal is continuing to grow in size and location. Our flagship gym in Mesa will be expanding to include a larger strength and conditioning area, and a child play zone for those athletes with children. We recently have expanded to open a Jiu Jitsu school in Queen Creek, Arizona and are finalizing our Maricopa location. Our biggest growth goal is the opening of a destination training resort. Planning is already on the way for an area in Payson, Arizona for this. It will include dorms from athletes and coaches to stay at, various area set aside for each discipline. We will be bringing in coaches from all around the globe to host seminars and will also be hosting immersion camps. These camps will provide all the needs for an athlete so they can focus just on their training.
