FOR EVERYONE

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced martial artist, United Studios of Self Defense of Huntington Beach has a program to fit every need. Men, women and children of all ages and professions participate in our Private & Group Training Programs.

PRIVATE TRAINING

Since 1968, USSD has been the pioneer in perfecting the teaching of martial arts for self defense on an instructor/student basis. Our Private Training program allows students to progress at their own pace and to focus on their needs and interests. USSD's unique self-defense system allows the beginner and advanced student alike to adjust the techniques to fit their physical ability, strengths and limitations. Private training allows students to receive direct critique and motivation from the Instructor, expediting their advancement and understanding of techniques and principles. The Private training program also provides a flexible training schedule, fitting the lessons to the students availability.

BENEFITS FOR CHILDREN

Our students develop a range of skills that enable them to succeed in all areas of life. This is particularly important for children, who need the guidance and support of parents and others to develop the skills they need to become capable and balanced adults.

We will help your child become strong with character, self-discipline and a healthy self-image. We work hard to make your child’s experience with the Martial Arts a safe, fun and productive one.

In the USSD Martial Arts program, children will improve:

Coordination
Flexibility
Strength & Endurance
Concentration Skills
Self-Control
Respect for themselves & others
Kids
All of this is achieved in an environment where the camaraderie created by shared challenges creates a sense of trust and recognition of individual achievement. Students advance at their own pace, without the pressure that is often such a part of team sports.

The practice of Martial Arts, when done properly and under the guidance of our professional USSD Instructor, is safer than most school sports. It is a workout routine that improves focus and self-discipline, developing the mind as well as the body. Students learn to control themselves and to respect others, which naturally leads to a respect for self. This benefit often carries over into school, helping to not only improve behavior, but academic performance. Students learn how to use their energy in a positive manner and not to be aggressive towards others. Experts agree that, rather than promoting violence, Martial Arts open the door to building a solid foundation of self-confidence and a healthy sense of self-worth. The core philosophy of USSD Martial Arts training is non-violence. Our training enables students to respond in a calm and controlled way that will stop, rather than escalate violence, should violence be unavoidable.

ADULTS & TEENS

For the teen or adult student, the martial arts provides a balanced improvement of both mind and body. The USSD Teen & Adult Program is designed to provide you with the principles of self-defense while strengthening your stamina & physical ability. In addition, the techniques and training fundamentals you learn will be adjusted to fit your needs and interests, whether your goals are to learn to defend yourself, get in shape, become more flexible, reduce stress or otherwise.

SELF-DEFENSE

Learning self-defense skills will arm you with the confidence and ability to take control of any situation. Not only will you learn the physical principles of self-defense, but also the mental awareness you need to first recognize and avoid problem situations.

"True Martial Artists do not only think of using their skills in physical confrontations. They use their training and art to overcome obstacles and become better people."

PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTORS

Earning a Black Belt is a rewarding accomplishment that takes effort and dedication. Every USSD Instructor was first an accomplished USSD student. Our Instructors are trained from white belt within the USSD self-defense system to ensure a broad understanding of our training principles and applications. All USSD Instructors participate in weekly training sessions with a Master Instructor to ensure that they provide the highest level of teaching and martial arts application within their own school. In addition, USSD Chief Instructors and Masters from across the country gather at the United Studios National HQ in Southern California each month to train and develop new skills and methods of teaching.
