USSD Martial Arts San Clemente

Fantastic experience: Sensei Richard and Sensei Mika are outstanding instructors, who care about their craft and students.

Fantastic experience: My son and I have been training at USSD San Clemente for six years. He’s ten. I’m forty nine. Training here has been a life-changing experience for us both. I cannot say enough good things about it. Seriously. My only regret is that we didn’t start earlier. Sensei Richard is a rockstar and Miss Meka is a truly gifted instructor. The dojo’s motto is, “Discipline, loyalty, honor, respect.” Wow. And make no mistake, these are all in evidence in abundance in every aspect of the teaching and community that the instructors have created. It feels like a family. Except we get to spar with each other. Oh wait, some families may already act like this -- just without the protective headgear. But seriously, I believe that there’s not a single person who wouldn’t benefit from the training we do and the inclusiveness and fellowship (ladies too!) of this amazing group. My son adds... “Its great exercise and a great way to make friends. It also teaches good discipline and it has helped me so much!”

Fantastic experience: USSD San Clemente has been a blessing for our 16 year old son for the last 11 years. Through Sensei Richard’s guidance, he has grown into a confident, respectful, strong and focused young man. We are grateful for the supportive community and second home that our son has at this awesome Dojo.

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for about 9 years, starting in 2012. Going to train is honestly one of the things I look forward to most during the week. Sensei Richard and Ms. Meka are incredible instructors who has taught me not just martial arts but also confidence. The community that he and the other instructors created is like no other, everyone is so supportive of each other and are people anyone could call a friend. I would recommend training here to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter has been in the USSD Martial arts San Clemente program for 4 years now! There is truly a family like atmosphere here. One thing I noticed is that other dojos give away belts way to fast. Here they acutely teach you and my daughter feels so accomplished with each belt earned. AND they make it FUN!
