This is the best martial arts! I have done several different types of martial arts, and I’ve been to other kempo dojos, USSD is the best by far. Master Faber is an amazing teacher.

My son has trained under Sensei Steve for almost 3 years. He has gotten to know my son personally and has developed a wonderful relationship with him. He gets to know all of this students so he can teach them how they learn best. Steve is patient, knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated. If a child or adult in your life has an interest in martial arts, USSD is the place to go.

Sensei Steve is excellent and so is USSD. I've had the pleasure of training with Steve for about two years and my son has trained with him for a little over two years. I highly recommend this dojo for children, adults, anyone who is looking for just casual training and serious martial arts training alike. Whatever you focus, whatever your speed, come to USSD!

We love Sensei Steve! We are excited for him and his new dojo! Steve is an experienced and knowledgeable teacher who has assisted in instructing our son for many years. Best wishes, The Walkers

We love Master Faber! Our son has been taken lessons from USSD for over 7 years. Sensei Steve is also fantastic, as are the other assistants. Our son gets 4 great workouts a week plus invaluable lessons in integrity, respect, and self discipline. Completely worth the investment!

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.

I have had the opportunity to train with Sensei Steve for a little over 3 years now and he was already teaching when I met him. I love the journey of training in the martial arts with USSD and I have no doubt that Steve will run a school that exemplifies the traits taught as he himself lives by them: Effort, Etiquette, Self control, Self Discipline and Character. I highly recommend that you go and learn these traits and how to Defend yourself with Steve at USSD Millcreek

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.

Master Faber and Sensei Steve are great!!

My brother, who has Down’s syndrome, has attended this location for close to 3 years and it has been a wonderful experience. The staff and community have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. They have pushed him to develop good habits and greater confidence.

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!

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!

USSD is PHENOMENAL. My 6 year old has been there for over a year now. Sensei and Master are fun, kind, and patient. My son loves them and has learned so much from them. They are absolutely great at what they do.

I trained with this style as a kid and carried the main principles with me through my adulthood. Had to share this amazing experience with my kids too! The teachers here are amazing!

I have been training in the martial arts with Mr. Faber and United Studios for almost 30 years. He is a master teacher and mentor that will help you achieve your goals and full potential! I can't recommend United Studios of Self Defense enough!

Hands down, the best. My son has been with Sensei Faber for nearly 5 year and he loves it. We love the things he is taught and the overall atmosphere of the Dojo. All of the instructors are very supportive, as well as the other students towards each other.
