Altruist Mixed Martial Arts

Altruist Mixed Martial Arts in Henderson, Nevada, operates under the direction of Eric Umali, a martial arts instructor with over a decade of full-time teaching and school management experience. Umali holds third-degree black belts in both Hawaiian Kempo and Isshinryu Karate, and is currently a brown belt training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Ed Kang of Infinite Grappling. Before dedicating himself to martial arts, he worked in film and television production in Los Angeles and holds a bachelor’s degree from Cal State Northridge. The school functions as a nonprofit organization, reflecting a mission that extends beyond martial arts training to community involvement through fundraising and volunteer work. The academy offers a range of martial arts disciplines, including karate, kickboxing, wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, serving students as young as three years old alongside adult practitioners. While the school’s roots are in traditional striking arts, its BJJ curriculum supports adult students with open mat sessions that welcome drop-ins, providing space for both gi and no-gi grappling practice. This approach supports continuous skill development and practical application in a less formal setting. Altruist Mixed Martial Arts emphasizes a family-oriented environment with programming designed to promote fitness, self-defense skills, and confidence. The school’s nonprofit status aligns with its broader goal of fostering mental and physical health within the local community. Located at 1031 Whitney Ranch Drive, the academy maintains a steady schedule that reflects its commitment to accessible training for all ages and skill levels.
