I noticed right away Mr. Jenson's remarkable ability to manage a class, creating a safe and welcoming environment, while maintaining an expectation of focus and discipline. The knowledge and skills he posseses are impressing and he takes the time to get to know the kids, meeting them at their level. In just a few months, my son has learned not only a number of self defense techniques but also self-discipline, confidence and teamwork. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience at USSD. This is a studio where belt ranks are earned and not simply given.

I've been attending for about a year and a half now and I must say it is a mind blowing experience that changed my life. The instructors are very hands on in the development of their students and they care. What I have noticed is that they don't have a cookie cutter approach for all the students. They customize their lessons according to your needs. If you come to sign up, they'll ask you specifically why you are enrolling. Weight Loss? More Confidence? Focus? Simply just for fun? They develop lessons according to whatever your needs may be. I have trained under multiple instructors and they all are extremely knowledgeable. If you are interested in pursing the martial arts, this is where it's at.

Good energy. It’s a place that reminds you that you never give up in life and you always choose honor.

My daughter has been training under Master Black's watchful eye for years. She is now 13 and currently a Third Degree Brown belt. She still looks forward to every class! He & his staff have always treated her with fairness and respect while making learning fun for all. If you spoke with her she'd tell you it's a beautiful studio, they have a lot of training weapons, and that she has gained much confidence. Words can not express how good we both feel every time I need to give her a bit more freedom and she says "I know Mom, I'll be careful, I don't want to use them but if I need them I have skills!" I highly recommend!

We started here this summer and my son is so excited about learning Karate! He loves the dojo and Master Black.

Confidence, Skills & Technique, Self-Control - I have learned so much more than this while studying with Hanshi Black. I wish every girl, every child, every adult was taught self defense. Words cannot express how grateful I am for my martial arts.

Great Self-defense studio for all ages and family friendly! Sensei Chris is very welcoming and knowledgeable. Classes for beginners to advanced and they...

Nice people. They have a good community and everyone is friendly. Other students are helpful. Wish I were in town more often, I would love that go more. Great workout too.

I started training at USSD Caughlin Ranch about a year ago. Not only are the martial arts skills useful, but the workouts help to build core strength, cardiovascular health, and overall physical...
