United Studios of Self Defense

If karate is your favorite martial art, then go to United Studios of Self-​Defense. My son has been attending classes for about 4 months now, and he likes Sensei Willie and enjoys the exercises and the end-​of-​class game. He says he really likes learning the moves so he can get further into the martial arts, and he has already earned his first belt (yellow).

Fantastic dojo. Consistent, friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated instructors. Mr. Caldwell is fantastic. Sensei Willie is wonderful. Kids are very, very happy and truly learning the art of self defense.

My son has been attending classes here for nearly five years and loves it. There is a great camaraderie amongst the students and instructors. It has been great for my son’s confidence and self-​esteem.

A very welcoming place. My teenage son has taken instruction from USSD for about 3 years now and really loves it.

I took adult self-​defense classes twice a week here for about six months, and I found Brian to be a phenomenal instructor for material that can be personally challenging. He is ALWAYS friendly and respectful, and is careful to match everyone to their proper challenge level. He’s also got a dry sense of humor that’s really refreshing. The space is also spotless and well-​equipped with training tools.
The group atmosphere is similar — always friendly and respectful, no macho stuff, but focused on quality work. And you WILL work hard if you want to! Brian’s classes typically include a metabolic conditioning workout (cardio + bodyweight strength training) that will help you get stronger and accustomed to rapid bursts of energy. After the workout, the real fun begins. I won’t spoil any surprises, but suffice to say that Brian’s classes often alter the environment of the studio to go broadly and deeply into a full range of self-​defense situations. Fun stuff.
Bottom line: if you want to learn to protect yourself and your loved ones from physical harm, Brian is a great choice.
