TL;DR: I highly recommend USSD Millcreek for both adults and kids. Sensei Steve is an excellent instructor who will hone your martial arts skills in a friendly and supportive environment. Beyond weekly classes, the backing of the national USSD organization opens up a depth of knowledge and experiences unrivaled by other schools.My 11 year old son and I have been fortunate to train with Sensei Steve for the past two years. He has a wonderful way of engaging the kids/teens class. He has a playfulness that keeps the kids smiling while he pushes them to improve not just their skills but also their conduct. Under Sensei Steve’s guidance, I’ve seen my son develop more resilience and confidence both inside and outside the dojo. In my son’s words, “His classes were fun as well as informative. Everyone got their own experience to learn and nobody was left behind.”In the adult classes, I’m always learning something new from Sensei Steve. He applies his depth of experience to share targeted feedback that helps unlock my own skills. Whether we're drilling our basics, practicing a complicated technique, sparring each other, or learning a new weapons forms—his classes are always challenging, rewarding, and fun. I also love the atmosphere he creates in his classes—one of camaraderie and a shared goal to help everyone in the class improve.Regarding United Studios of Self Defense, I’ve been really pleased with the organization in general. I find they teach a great blend of artistry, technique, practical application, and even some philosophy on how to lead a good life. Through the national school we have opportunities to learn from world-class masters, join regional tournaments and participate in international karate trips. And if my family needed to move for some reason, there’s a good chance we could find another USSD dojo and pick up our training there. It’s great to know we have a lifetime of learning ahead of us.So whether you’re looking for a martial arts studio for yourself or your kids, I’d definitely suggest you give USSD Millcreek a try.
