Our Students Say...

Our son continues to grow and thrive at USSD Livermore. He has a disability and the instructors positively impact his development, progress and self esteem. He feels great about Karate and we couldn’t be happier with his dojo!

Megahn H.

The lessons that my son has learned at USSD Livermore, have transcribed directly to his work ethic in school and how he treats the people around him.

William M.

The instructors here are all amazing. No egos, happy to answer all questions and match the pace of their students without hesitation. It is awesome to have a great group of people to exercise and learn with every week.

Owner and Chief Instructor

Master Michael Delfino — 5th Degree Black Belt

‍
Master Delfino began training in 1993 after Randy Cardellini, his first instructor, invited him to try a class. “Three decades later, I’m still trying it out,” he jokes. It was Master Linda Tomasello, however, that gave him his first job in the martial arts; they have remained close friends ever since. After taking over USSD Livermore in 2004, Master Delfino has led tournaments, seminars, and trips abroad. One of his favorite quotes is “hard work will beat talent, when talent won’t work hard." As such, Master Delfino is known for pushing his students with a balance of intensity and humor. In his spare time Master Delfino is an avid bodybuilder, and with his wife, is very active in several animal rescue organizations.
