More Than Martial Arts
A SCHOOL BUILT TO HELP KIDS SUCCEED IN LIFE
For over 44 years, Hernandez Martial Arts has helped thousands of kids in Union City, Fremont, and Hayward build confidence, discipline, and life-long success skills.
Hernandez Martial Arts was founded in Union City, 1982 with a simple mission:
To help kids grow into confident, disciplined, and successful individuals, on and off the mat.
Over the years, we’ve worked with thousands of families, and we’ve seen the same thing happen again and again…
Kids don’t struggle because they lack ability.
They struggle because they lack confidence, focus, and belief in themselves.
That’s why our program isn’t just about kicks and punches.
It’s about helping kids win the internal battles they face every day to overcome their obstacles and thrive.

Built For How Kids Actually Learn
Most programs focus only on physical techniques.
We take a different approach.
We focus on physical techniques and more importantly, mental growth.
Our curriculum is designed around how kids develop confidence, discipline, and emotional control, using proven, modern day teaching methods that help skills actually stick.
That’s why parents don’t just see better technique…
They see better behavior, better focus, and more confidence at home and in school.
