Martial Arts Academy
Background and History
Jeremy Elliot established United Family Martial Arts in Niagara Falls, ON back in October of 1999. His goal was to promote the values that come with being a martial arts practitioner across the Canadian community.
Today, we are proud to share that we have trained successful people from all walks of life. These include black belts, world champions, martial arts instructors, school teachers, doctors, mental health workers, Harvard students, and military personnel.
Serving the Community
Social responsibility is something we take seriously because of our passion toward making the community a better place. We have worked with several organizations, including Autism Canada, Child and Parent Resource Institute Unit 5, FASD Forever, and Submit the Stigma.
Our academy has partnered with the Niagara Children’s Centre, introducing martial arts to kids with special needs. We’ve also been running the Boys & Girls Club of Niagara martial arts program since 2010. In addition, we have been teaching martial arts to at-risk youth through Niagara’s Bridge Program.
