Alexander City · Since 1990
A private academy
Leaders in reality-based martial arts, fitness, and practical protection.
The academy
United Martial Arts Academy was established in Alexander City, Alabama, in 1990 by Master Instructor Russell Wright.
Since then the academy has led in reality-based mixed martial arts, personal and family fitness, and practical tactical protection. It is a private academy, open to public application.
American Freestyle
Every program is American Freestyle: martial arts that originated in the United States and are not locked to one traditional style. The system is fitted to the student. The student does not have to force a body into a style it cannot use.
Lissajous-Do
The specialty is Lissajous-Do (liss-SAY-jus doh), the Way of Motion. A physics-based system drawn from karate, kenpo, modified Wing Chun, taekwondo, hapkido, boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, judo, jujitsu, and modern military combatives.
The work is confidence, self-discipline, fitness, and self-protection, plus character and healthy choices a student can use the same day.
