Advantages of Kempo

United Studios of Self Defense teaches Shaolin Kenpo which is a mixture of Karate, Kung Fu, and Ju Jitsu. What makes United Studios of Self Defense unique from other programs is that we tailor our program to fit the needs of the individual student instead of molding the student to fit the art. So whether your a beginner or experienced martial artist, whether you have physical limitations or are a professional athlete, or your just one of the many people looking for something fun, challenging, and rewarding, we have a program for you.

The United Studios of Self Defense system is highly effective because the wealth of material allows you, the student, to use whatever techniques work best for you.
