United Studios of Self Defense Irvine-Northwood

Everything they teach is important, have been training here for 5 years. Incredible instruction and curriculum.

This is the only location where masters and a beloved and legendary honshi, are always teaching. No other school has that honor.

I love this place! Had been training for a few months only and already received some prestigious awards in Las Vegas. Teacher Michael is amazing, I highly recommend him to my piano students and friends! The training venue is huge, atmosphere is friendly. Level is professional. Best!

This is a wonderful dojo! Master Jack Turner and his team are renowned and accomplished Shaolin Kempo practitioners and very effective teachers. The best part, they are all very humble and kind!

Many martial arts places exist and are as common as Starbucks. But only one has an actual master teaching instead of some lower ranking instructor. United studios is a chain of schools that teaches a blend of karate, kung-fu, jujitsu and aikido, called shaolin kempo. But this little school's true gem is that a master of legendary skills teaches hear. Learning from him is like learning the art of directing from James cameron or Francis Ford Coppola. Lots of fun for children, lots of fun for adults and everyone in the middle. As for the very United studios way. When you're a part of United studios, you are welcome to any of their studios around the country. Like 24 fitness. Lol. But what I love the most about shaolin kempo, is that I didn't have to adapt my body to it. It is made to adapt to our bodies like stretchy socks. It's also realistic as it teaches defense from real life threats like knives, grabs, falling, multiple attackers, drunks with broken bottles, guns and even your basic street thug with his fists of rage. It is lethal for the needs and none lethal for the moments where the enemy is not dangerous. I once used my knowledge to subdue my mentally handicapped grandma until mom could give her the needed shots to stabilize her as she was unaware of her physical actions and was literally attacking us. Yes that's how useful the training is, how wonderful all united studios instructors are and how amazing Master Jack Turner teaches this legendary art.

Me and my family have been going there for over 5 years. The instruction and instructors are the best. I highly recommend this studio over other martial art styles and even from the same system (USSD). Master Jack Turner and Sensei Jeff are simply the best!
