United Studios of Self Defense

"Both my boys have been going to karate here and they love it! As a matter of fact, WE all love it. My husband and I decided to try the Adult class, and it's one of the things we look forward to each week. It's a good workout and Master Terrell is such a great instructor (he has a great team of instructors too!). On somedays before class, I feel too tired to go after a long day of work, but I go anyway, and I always walk out of there feeling re-energized, empowered, and just....alive!!! I am SO glad we took the leap into self-defense at USSD Oceanside!"

"We have only been at OSSD a short time but have been welcomed with the utmost care and respect. My son has special needs and has struggled with every group sport/activity he's tried. This was an entirely different experience - the happiest I have ever seen him! The instructors are kind but firm, hold the students to high standards but are thoughtful in their expectations. My son is learning martial arts, yes, but it also gaining valuable life skills like patience, confidence and most importantly, focus. I am truly impressed and feel lucky we found such a wonderful studio!"

"Our 14 year old daughter has been at USSD for 3 years now. She has grown tremendously in those years. Master T is an amazing instructor, especially with kids that might be a little “different” like our daughter. He has a great sense of when to challenge her (even if we didn’t think she was ready) and when to offer the extra support or accommodations she might need. She has met or exceeded our expectations and it has truly been awesome to see her confidence grow as she has earned medals in tournaments and belts up!"

"Master Terrell and his mentors are amazing with the kids. They have such patience, great attention to detail, and overall really good teachers. We used to bring my 4yr old here in 2021 and had such a great experience. We took a break, but now we’re back with both of our kiddos and we are so glad we came back HERE. My son wanted to try juijitsu and kung fu before coming back to karate, but our experience at USSD superseded our impressions of the (trial weeks) other dojos."

"USSD has been extremely beneficial for my children. My children have more confidence in themselves, higher self esteem, and learning to become great leaders. My son has learned to be more outspoken, and to speak with confidence. My daughter has taken the leadership skills she has learned and applies them to all aspects of her life. The instructors are amazing teachers and very patient with each individual child and their needs. Master Terrell is easy to work with and helpful with scheduling changes. My husband and I were students, and the adult lessons were great! We learned so much and the lessons we learned will stay with us forever. Master Terrell, again is excellent at catering to your individual health and physical needs. He worked with us to learn our forms, without harming or injuring ourselves. A great workout, while learning beneficial skills. I highly recommend USSD for children and adults."
