United Studios Of Self Defense - San Francisco

My son has been with USSD for at least the past four years which has included all of his middle school years. We started off at our local USSD dojo...

Sensei Collins is a great instructor who cares about his students. I studied here for 11 years 5yo-16 and would definitely not be the same person without...

Great dojo Sensei Collins is world class. Our daughter earned her brown belt after years of devoted supportive coaching. She started a womens self-defense club at her school as a result of this wonderful education USSDSF.

Weve been members of this dojo for several years and highly recommend it Sensei Collins is an excellent instructor and an even better mentor to all of his young students. Having grown up around martial arts myself I am continually impressed and thankful that my kids are part of this program.

I have studied at this dojo for over 10 years starting when I was a kid. It is a great environment for people of all ages and would highly recommend it to anyone. Sensei Collins is an amazing instructor and really caters to each individual students specific needs.

Great Dojo. Sensei Collins is the best teacher one could hope for. Always calm patient focused knowledgeable and understanding. He makes sure every second in the dojo counts. For me it has been a lifestyle change since I joined almost two years ago.Looking strong and being strong are two different things. Thats what you learn at the dojo.With bad people on the streets I highly recommend to join USSD SF and learn the intricacies of Self defense and karate in its purest form.

Both my son and daughter have studied for over five years at USSDSF going multiple times a week. They have been lucky enough to join the traveling team - sparing grappling and competing with kids all over Northern California. It has been a tremendous learning experience for both of them teaching them responsibility respect self-defense and putting them in positions where they truly need to be brave. The USSDSF dojo has become a second home to both of them filled with friends and mentors of all ages. I highly recommend this experience for SF kids and adults.

USSD SF is a classy operation. Sensei JT is one of several top notch instructors who run excellent classes for adultkids teaching the fundamentals of self-defense along with discipline respect and having a good time.

What a wonderful place. I had two sons in the program. One of my two sons excelled incredibly to the point where he demonstrated for the dojo but my other was young and then had difficulty concentrating. To USSDs credit they encouraged my younger son who never felt left out and always made it fun yet instructive. My friends felt their son might be bullied as he was a meek kid so they put him in classes to follow my son. When their son quit some 14 years later he was a karate expert and I pity anyone who would try to bully that kid who grew up to become very confident. I only took my kids out of the program because we moved away and we never found another dojo that even came close to how great this one was.

JT and the instruction at USSDSF was an important factor in the mental and physical development of our son and daughter. My daughter participated from age 6 until she left for college attaining a black belt. It was a very important part of her life. I highly recommend USSDSF..

Sensie collins provides the best combination of no no nonsense self defense while being so much fun. Without a doubt the best martial arts school in sf Truelly the best blend of technical and practical and perfect for kids

USSD on Lombard is led by JT Collins. Hes a calm patient and thorough teacher who creates a culture of learning collaboration and goal setting. Students span from grammar school to adults. Very positive place to learn kempo karate.
