Our Students Say...

They are great and gave my daughter so much more confidence!

Farah S.

I have been going to USSD since I was seven. This organization has helped me build as a person and now I know that I can defend myself. This has definitely been my favorite extra curricular activity by a huge margin.

Nick A.

The dojo is clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything needed for a great training experience. Sensei Donovan and Xena have made each class fun while instilling important values like respect, focus, and perseverance.
