Fantastic dojo. Master Faber runs a great program. The kids learn discipline, self confidence, and have an awesome time doing it. We have a 12-year-old son with special needs. We’ve tried so many different sports, and it has always ended in meltdowns and frustration. This is the first activity where he actually found success.

Fantastic dojo. Master Faber runs a great program. The kids learn discipline, self confidence, and have an awesome time doing it. We have a 12-year-old son with special needs. We’ve tried so many different sports, and it has always ended in meltdowns and frustration. This is the first activity where he actually found success. The instructors push and stretch him while also understanding his limitations. He has thrived and just earned his blue belt. We are beyond grateful as parents to watch the transformation of the past year. Highly, highly recommend this place. Less

This is THE place to learn Karate as well as basic self defense inspired by the original Shaolin Kempo. Master Faber helps you learn at your own pace and consistently pushes you to be better than you are, in your training and in life. It is a great environment to learn an awesome skill and make friends along the way. If you want to learn real Karate then come to USSD Salt Lake City!... More

Having a background in martial arts, I did a little shopping around before enrolling my 5 year old (who is now almost 7) into a school. Almost immediately I noticed the quality of instruction, and has continued to be amazing. Since enrolling my son, I have started training and couldn't be happier. Master Faber, the Senseis, fellow students, and the art are all the best. Thank you, USSD Salt Lake!... More

This place is amazing

My background has a couple years of Karate and Kung Fu. When I moved to SLC, I was shopping around, trying to find a place that matched my ideals for a martial arts studio (fitness, mutual respect amongst students, motivation, and practical wisdom).

My background has a couple years of Karate and Kung Fu. When I moved to SLC, I was shopping around, trying to find a place that matched my ideals for a martial arts studio (fitness, mutual respect amongst students, motivation, and practical wisdom). I was underwhelmed after trying kickboxing and jujitsu. But, Sensei Faber (and mrs. Sensei) run the kind of school where you are going to mature and likely make good friends. I enrolled January 1st 2020 and have enjoyed it so much my 9 year old is coming now as well. We both leave our classes sweaty, challenged, and happy 3 times a week! Less

Love This Place! Sensei Faber is amazing. I've been going for a couple years, lost tons of weight. You get what you pay for... and its one of the best decisions I've ever made Going to United Studios completely changed my life, in a good way. It really effects everything in your life, training in Martial Arts is like a full body meditation. I've tried several places, but United Studios is hands down the best.. Plus its the only Studio in America certified to teach Kung Fu from the Shaolin Temple in China. I could go on and on, but lets just say. I would rate Sensei Faber's Dojo, with ☆☆☆☆☆☆(6 stars) if I could. Changed my life, hopefully it'll change yours too :-D Less

We are so grateful to have this amazing studio in our neighborhood! Sensei Faber has a talent for working with the four-five year old age group.

I first tried USSD 18 years ago(the free lesson)and I had a life changing experience, I knew I wanted to take lessons here. I'm an adult now and well I was finally able to do it, walked into a different dojo than before, but tada! Same Sensei.

I'm an adult now and well I was finally able to do it, walked into a different dojo than before, but tada! Same Sensei. Sensei Faber inspired me 18 years ago, tried other places,(community centers, tae kwon do, etc.) nothing compared to Sensei Faber... I was 12 years old for that first lesson. It my dream as a child to take lessons here and sometimes dreams do come true... Now after all this time I returned, since I started, I've lost 100 lbs and weigh less than I did when I was 15.. Dare I say, I feel better than I did then too.. All around amazing. Less

I am extremely excited for the Grand Opening of the Salt Lake City USSD dojo. The building has been extensively renovated to provide the best martial arts training area available. More over, Mr. Aaron Faber will be the Chief Instructor at this location. My conviction and dedication to USSD & Mr. Faber’s teachings have not only provided the martial arts that I’m seeking but given me a sense of companionship and positive reinforcement as USSD works hard to provide a family friendly and open space for self improvement without judgment in all of their locations. I am not just another client with USSD, I am a life long member and that relationship has been earned by years of teaching from dozens of high ranking instructors and countless functions that USSD provides. While the closest USSD location is fantastic, I purposely drive the extra miles to train with (in my humble opinion) one of the best martial artists and instructors that I have met. Thank you Mr. Faber for all your instruction. Less
