About Us
The Universal Martial Arts Academy & Training Center (UMAATC) is
the brainchild and vision of its founder Sifu Alvin D. Mack Jr.,
Associate Professor, 5th Degree Black Belt. UMAATC is a
non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving At-Risk
Youth and Battered Women.
For over 19 years, Mr. Mack had been a member of the Law
Enforcement field. During those years it
became very apparent to him that Law Enforcement needed to
change it's focus from a "REACTIONARY" organization to a
"PREVENTIVE " organization.
It is a
documented fact that most law enforcement agencies train their
personnel as "after the fact responders."
That is to say, they wait for a crime to happen then they react
to it, but the damage or death of a person has already taken
place.
Mr. Mack has
always been a strong advocate of preventive medicine and he
feels that the same philosophy can and should be applied to law
enforcement (9/11 proved this).
The best example
of preventive law enforcement is "COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING"
which is slowly appearing in some cities around the country, but
there are far too many agencies that are resisting the change.
Mr. Mack's
decision to leave law enforcement came in 1993 after he had
worked a double homicide of a teenage girl and boy who he had
watched grow up from the ages of 10 & 11 years of age through
the D.A.R.E. program the police department sponsored.
