UFIGHT is a comprehensive martial arts methodology that integrates arm, leg, takedown, and ground techniques. Developed in 1999 by Professor André Polidoro, it aims to teach martial arts skills in a non-competitive environment, emphasizing learning through stages without the pressure of belt rankings.

UFIGHT offers classes for children (ages 7-12), teenagers (ages 13-18), and adults (ages 19 and above). Each age group follows a curriculum tailored to their physical and developmental needs.

Children’s classes are divided into two age groups: 7-9 years and 10-12 years. The curriculum is structured in four stages, covering arm techniques, leg techniques, takedowns, and ground fighting. Each stage has three levels of knowledge. After completing all stages, students can join the UFIGHT Elite group for continuous training.

The Animal Masters are mascots that represent different martial arts techniques. Each animal symbolizes a specific set of skills:
• Alex the Monkey: Arm techniques
• Bruno the Bear: Takedowns
• Tina the Tiger: Ground fighting techniques
• Hector the Horse: Leg techniques
These characters make learning martial arts fun and engaging for children by promoting wisdom, unity, and peace through their adventures.

No, UFIGHT is a non-competitive system. The goal is personal development and mastery of techniques through progressive learning, without the pressure of competitions or belt testing.

The UFIGHT Elite program is for children who have completed all four stages of the methodology. It allows them to continue refining their skills through advanced training. After completing the Elite program, students can join the Master Class group.
