My name is Johnny Watley and I am the owner of Unified Martial Arts, Inc. I have been involved in Martial Arts since 1980 and been a Black Belt in Tae-Kwon-Do since 1984. I have assisted in the operation of commercial martial arts programs since 1987
My name is Charlene Watley and I received my black belt approximately 15 years ago. I’m currently a third degree black belt and teach 4 and 5 year olds (Lil’ Dragons) Tae Kwon Do or some facsimile there of.
My name is Elijah Bailey, I am one of the lead instructors at Unified Martial Arts Training Center, Inc. I have been actively involved in martial arts since 1991 and I have been a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do since 2002. I am currently a 4th Degree Black Belt through Unified Martial Arts Training Center and The Wild Bunch organization (one of the most prestigious traditional lineages of Korean Tae Kwon Do and Okinawan Goju Ryu within the state of Oklahoma for over 45 years). I have studied various forms of martial arts and fighting since I first began my training but before that I had never been a part of a martial arts family or brotherhood and that is what I like to infuse within my teaching.
I believe martial arts are an outlet for individual growth and development as well as a basis for families or communities to come together. I use martial arts as a term to not only refer to those styles or art forms that are popularized by social media(Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, JuJutsu, etc.) but to codified systems and traditions of combat practices(such as boxing), which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development. I am currently a senior at the University of Central Oklahoma perusing my degree in Wellness and Exercise Management (Kinesiology) and also hold the title of Vice-President of the Oklahoma Karate Association.
I teach with the same passion which has driven and continues to drive me through my martial arts career. I believe martial arts are more than just systems in which you learn techniques or just fight; it is a lifestyle which prepares the mind and body for any physical and mental confrontation. I have always been passionate about martial arts and feel everybody has the right to know how to defend themselves if need be.
My philosophy is to produce the best quality of martial artist as well as people that I can with the knowledge and life lessons I have learned from martial arts. As with all things martial arts/boxing requires extreme dedication and effort, anything that is worthwhile in life is going to be hard so when you step into the gym believe in yourself and utilize the time you are here by giving your upmost. As an instructor I‘m not here to inspire you or motivate you for a day, I’m here to add value to your life. To help you change your life and reach your goals. I like to be in a continual state of becoming, with a goal in front and not behind and believe that every day we are alive we can do more, be more and achieve more than we did the day before. Always strive for the top in life because it’s the bottom that’s overcrowded.

I’m one of the lucky ones that was born into martial arts. My father is a black belt in Kyokushin ,so at 4 he started teaching me so that I would be confident going into kindergarten. At age 5 I started formal trainng with Sensei Ellis Webber. When Sensei Webber moved his school from OKC to Kingfisher I fell out of training for a while . I was lucky enough to find Mr. Watley and UMAT when I was 9. I trained religiously for many years,but when I entered high school I started playing football & wrestling and I let my training fall by the wayside. I got a lot of good from those sports,but I also picked up a lot of bad habits. I stopped training regularly at UMATC for 7 years. Durning that time I studied Muay Thai,Kick Boxing,Jiu Jitsu.and Boxing ,most recently at Greg Jackson’s in ABQ,New Mexico . Luckily after a year of soul searching I started training again in May of 2013. In Dec. 2013 I received my Black Stripes,I will received my Black Belt in December 2014.
