United Studios of Self Defense Danville teaches a martial art called Shaolin Kempo, described as a mixed martial art with traditional roots that uses training from Karate, Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu, and other martial arts to create self-defense techniques. The program includes a mix of group classes with others at a similar skill level and Specialized Training Sessions (STS) with more individual attention, and students advance at their own pace with belt tests held when they are ready to move to the next level. Core values listed by the program are Effort, Etiquette, Character, Sincerity, and Self Control, and the core philosophy of USSD martial arts training is stated as non-violence, with training described as enabling students to respond in a calm and controlled way that will stop, rather than escalate, violence if it cannot be avoided. The USSD Teen & Adult Program is described as providing principles of self-defense while strengthening stamina and physical ability, and the practice of martial arts under a professional USSD Instructor is described by the program as safer than most school sports.
Every USSD Instructor was first an accomplished USSD student and is trained from white belt within the USSD self-defense system. All USSD Instructors participate in weekly training sessions with a Master Instructor, and USSD Chief Instructors and Masters from across the country gather each month at the United Studios National HQ in Southern California to train and develop new skills and methods of teaching. The stated mission is “Train the Body, Train the Mind. Self Defense isn’t just about learning a new move or a new punch. We need to train the techniques… AND we need to train our mindset!”
United Studios of Self Defense Danville describes itself as a pillar of the Danville community for 13 years and notes that United Studios has provided martial arts instruction for 56 years. The program has been recognized as “Best Martial Arts School” 6 years in a row by the Danville Award Program, which honors local businesses that impact their community in a meaningful way, and the dojo publicly thanks the Danville community and its dojo family for this recognition.
