USSD Vancouver 4210 East 4th Plain Boulevard, Vancouver, WA 98661

"Looking for a safe, effective and empowering self-defense or martial arts studio? Look no further. Teachers make the difference, and no other school has the unparalleled combination of Master Matt, the guardian warrior, and his wife Kaci, the gifted healer. Destined to become a force of good in the world, Master Matt courageously overcame his childhood environment by beginning to study Shotokan Karate at the tender age of six. The student blossomed into a young man who proudly served as an American Combat Veteran in the United States Marine Corp.’s Martial Arts Program. Who better to teach us how to confidently and effectively defend ourselves than the 5th Degree Black Belt in Shaolin Kempo – the man who helped the USMC develop their Hand to Hand Technologies for civilian and combat scenarios in addition to Close Proximity Armed Defense technologies? There is no one more experienced, more effective, more inspiring or more passionate about teaching others how to protect themselves than Master Matt. Kaci, Master Matt’s wife, walks beside him as a strong, insightful and gifted healer who tenderly guides people and animals through overcoming all sorts of various traumas. She radiates divine kindness. To stand in her presence is to know that pure hearts and magic exist. Together, their spirits are ablaze with a fiery passion for helping others overcome emotional, mental and physical obstacles so that each student may become the best version of themselves, making USSD Vancouver – by far – the best martial arts program in the land."

"This self defense studio is by far the best I have been able to find in a long time. It’s highly dedicated to the students becoming educated correctly, rather than having an over crowded class size. The instructor is extremely gifted in communicating form of proper martial arts with younger children, as well as, students of all ages. This school is a true hidden gem in this county. In just a short time my child’s outlook on being attentive to instruction's has changed for the better. I encourage any prospecting student or parent of an ambitious child to contact this educational facility. The owners are knowledgeable, competent, and extremely dedicated to being a positive role model for students of all ages and abilities. I see a great, successful future for this school and its students. In short, if you’re seriously considering to learn martial arts, this is the school for you and your loved ones. Hope to meet you there. Best wishes, Beckey"

"As someone walking in with no experience and severe anxiety I cannot stress enough how welcoming, understanding and supportive Master Matt and Ms Kaci were right out of the gate. Almost backed out of my first class due to anxiety but am so glad I pushed through to check it out. If you aren’t sure or on the fence about checking them out I promise you won’t regret it."

"What great experiences we've had here with master Matt and his crew of helpers.The amount of change in my 7 year olds attitude since we started attending classes is almost unbelievable. 10/10 recommend. His class is also a huge confidence booster for little ones. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
