Unity Martial Arts was founded in 2003 by Tanner Critz in Atlanta, GA. In 2008, the Critz family moved back to Arkansas and opened a school on Markham near the corner of Kavanaugh. Unity now owns a building purchased and remodeled with love by its own students. Unity represents four different schools combining their talents to create the best outcome for each person to enter the door (Cuong Nhu Karate, Wu Tai Chi, Iyengar Yoga, and Brazilian Jiujitsu).
Unity started as a humble martial arts school, but it has grown into something extraordinary – an academy of cross training that nourishes not only physical prowess but also fulfills the social and intellectual needs of its dedicated students. Children discover their potential, engaging their minds, bodies, and creativity in ways rarely found in traditional educational institutions. Adults find a vibrant community, forging connections, honing leadership skills, and receiving invaluable parenting support. All ages benefit from the balance of four disciplines under one roof.
With a permanent home in our magnificent 9000 sq/ft academy, Unity opens doors for endless growth, offering Cuong Nhu Karate, Iyengar Yoga, Brazilian Jiujitsu, and Tai Chi – a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
Students from four years old into their nineties combine and mix practices from these four disciplines to strive for growth, community and lifelong fitness. Unity Martial Arts is not just a school; it’s a testament to the power of community, determination, and collective achievement.
