United Studios of Self Defense

A little more than six months ago, I was looking for a way to get back in shape and possibly meet some new people. I searched through a lot of different types of places but for some reason USSD caught my eye – and I’m so glad it did. The reviews for the Green Valley Dojo helped lure me in – so here’s mine.
This place is great. There really is a family atmosphere, and everyone is very welcoming and friendly. The instructors are fantastic – very knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, fun, and not afraid to kick your a** (it can be a great workout, that’s for sure).
This is certainly one way to transform yourself physically – several people have – and it has helped me get back in shape, but for me, the mental transformation has been more dramatic. I’ve gained confidence and feel more centered. Knowing that I am gaining the tools to defend myself has helped make me more independent. I can’t say all of this is 100% due to USSD, but it has played a huge role. I look forward to the greater amount of maturity I know will come with more practice.
Plus, it’s FUN.
Overall, it’s a little pricey, but it’s been worth every penny.

Master Tony is amazing! I am taking my son there and both instructors are very nurturing to the children. The course is structured but done in the way that a kid can have fun in what they are learning. Positive reinforcement is what Master Tony is all about! I would highly recommend USSD to anyone in the area!

I decided to take Karate so my husband and I checked this place out. We really liked the «family» atmosphere that all the students here share. Its nice to come into a place and feel missed if you have been away for a few days.
Master Barajas and Sensi Jarred both have a passion for teaching and most importantly, if your like me and a little scared of things like… sparing… they will take the extra time necessary to help build your confidence in a positive way. Isn’t that what the martial arts is all about anyway?
This is a great dojo for students of all ages.

So we originally started at the Anthem dojo and moved to the Green Valley Dojo after a year. We have learned so much in the few months we have been here and our fitness level has increased… Especially with me losing 30lbs since moving over… The work outs are that good! I would suggest USSD to anyone looking to increase their fitness level and learn some self defense skills. Green Valley is a great studio filled with instructors who care and students who welcome you like family!
