“Our girls have been here for a year, kids learn how to defend themselves during attacks and also in accidents. Instructor Sensei Jack, and Sensei Christine are amazing teachers.

“ Great studio, not just as a USSD, but as in all. The instructors show genuine caring to all the children

-J. Ritt”

“If you are considering making the commitment to yourself to study martial arts consider the USSD dojo in Northwood. I have been studying for over two years and have gained confidence, flexibility, balance and focus while learning self defense skills! What makes this dojo unique is the character of the students and the instructors. It is a welcoming, non threatening environment conducive to focusing on technique, fitness and flexibility. Unlike other dojos where you may be awarded a new belt with regularity, here you will earn it and feel a sense of pride with your well deserved accomplishment! Regardless of your age or perceived ability, martial arts is a great way to achieve that goal of fitness and self confidence”

“This place is the bomb!!!!!”

“Five years of Karate have left me more limber, in better health, with greater stamina, and with more self confidence. The instructors are skilled, highly competent, and eager to help. I recommend martial arts and in particular United Studios of Self Defense in Irvine to everyone. I’m in my 70’s.”
