We have been going here for a little over year, and the way that the instructors work with the kids is absolutely outstanding!

Great instructors and a wonderful atmosphere in the dojo. Their flexibility with juggling multiple sports has made a huge difference in my son being able to continue martial arts for so many years.

My son and daughter started taking karate at USSD about 6 months ago and they both love it!

Chief Instructor

Sensei Riyan Bernaldez — 2nd Degree Black Belt

‍
Encouraged by his parents to develop discipline, Sensei Bernaldez began training with Master Carter at the age of four. As a teen, he discovered a passion for martial arts, learning to move “in ways he never thought imaginable.” Having felt the impact of his own training, he soon began teaching under Master Carter; later joining Master Rodriguez in Temecula. Finally,  short-term teaching role in Menlo Park turned permanent when he “fell in love with the family atmosphere.” His mission is to help others apply martial arts lessons to life, just as discipline helped him succeed in school. Outside the dojo, he enjoys movies, video games, and Dungeons & Dragons.
