From the reviews
Sensei Robert offers a great program for kids and adults at a great value. Enrolled students get weekly semi-private classes and unlimited group classes available five days a week. He is excellent with his students and adjusts his teaching style effortlessly to the ages of the class. The program is a great value.
Sensei Rob started USSD Sammamish last year. He is very professional and dedication that made it grown very fast in the community. I went couple of Self Defense institutions but not impressed of their attitude and professionalism. My Daughters did not like it though.
It’s been more than an year since my daughter started Karate classes with USSD. Sensei Rob is a very good teacher. He is a bit tough but very supportive. Encourages kids to test their limits.
My daughter and I both take karate lessons at USSD Sammamish. Sensei Rob is very supportive and is a great instructor. He focuses on practicality of the Kempo karate and Shaolin Kung Fu techniques as well as useful and real life sparring techniques.
Your first Karate class at United Studios of Self Defense Sammamish
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
