UNITED STUDIOS OF SELF-DEFENSE NEVADA

Our Mission

Our Mission Is To Help You Raise A Confident, Focused Leader With The Life Transforming Experience That Is Martial Arts, While Us Adults Train To Get In The Best Shape Of Our Lives.

My name is Richard Black and I am the Senior Instuctor of United Studios of Self Defense. When I was a child, I began my martial arts journey and the positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. It was always my dream to someday own my own school and when I opened United Studios of Self Defense in 2001, I made a commitment to our communities in Anthem and Caughlin Ranch to create an enjoyable environment for students to improve their fitness, while building confidence they can carry into their everyday lives.

Our children's martial arts program creates leaders. We do this by teaching the same values you teach at home. Our adult program is second to none. From traditional martial arts to more modern self-defense styles, there is something for everyone at United Studios of Self Defense. If you are looking to burn major calories, learn self-defense moves and get in the best shape of your life, you must come and check out our program. Imagine yourself or your child as a stronger, more confident individual in your best physical and mental shape. I want to personally invite you to take advantage of our introductory trial offer and turn that vision into a reality. See you on the mat!

My son has been practicing martial arts with Master Black at United Studios of Self Defense for 7 years. In that time, my son has grown both in skills and in his self-confidence. Master Black and his instructors at USSD have been instrumental in my son’s development into a strong, disciplined, respectful young man. He has made great friends and has learning valuable lessons that will service him the rest of his life. I could not be happier with our experience at USSD and give Master Black and his instructors my highest recommendation.

For the past year, my two kids have been learning self-defense and self-control amid this wonderful atmosphere of mutual respect. The teachers are skillful martial artists as well as excellent role models. It's not our first experience at a dojo and I can't imagine that there is a better one anywhere. I simply couldn't be more satisfied with our experience at USSD Anthem.

My son started taking classes at USSD in May of 2022 and we couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the instructors and the Shaolin Kempo Karate training and technique. We feel so fortunate to have Soki Richard Black and his extraordinary staff training my son: 4th degree black belt Mrs. Victoria, 3rd degree black belt Mr. Matthew, black belt Mr. Conrad, 1st degree black belt Mr. Jack, and many other wonderful instructors. If you want to see if this is the right fit for you, they also offer a free private lesson to introduce you to the program. I rate this five out of five stars, and I would rate it a 10 if I could!

As a senior citizen, I loved taking the Woman’s Self Defense workshops that United Studios has for the local community. They taught me simple yet effective techniques that I felt that I could do in case of an emergency. I appreciated their patience and understanding of what I could do physically. They made me feel empowered.
