UMAC Offers Kids Much More Than Self Defense<br />
By Nicole Gallagher<br />
As the calendar hits <strong>September</strong>, it<br />
brings many of us back to the grind as<br />
summer vacations wind down and the<br />
school year start. As we settle back into<br />
the new school year, this month brings<br />
the thoughts of closing up the pools,<br />
scrapbooking your summer vacation —<br />
or at least downloading the media cards<br />
— and buying school supplies.<br />
One pressing issue that many of us<br />
in Putnam County are dealing with<br />
is: “What are my kids going to do after<br />
school, within a reasonable budget?”<br />
Making sure your child has activities to<br />
keep him or her busy and focused during<br />
the week is paramount. If you’re searching<br />
for something constructive to build<br />
self-confidence and a positive self-image,<br />
look to United Martial Arts Center of<br />
Carmel.<br />
UMAC has the tools to keep your<br />
child’s mind and body moving this<br />

fall. The masters are on a mission to<br />
take martial arts training to a higher<br />
level — a level where the training is<br />
not only about kicking and punching,<br />
but about changing lives for the better.<br />
UMAC even offers help with bullying.<br />
Renowned Master Paul Melella has developed<br />
a BullyProof Program, where<br />
your child can learn how to cope with<br />
bullying without the physical force or<br />
threat of violence.<br />
