For over 50 years United Studios has had one mission: to empower people and communities through the magic of the martial arts.
Our legacy is rooted in traditional values and innovative martial arts training. Our students thrive in a welcoming, inclusive, and energetic environment built on these core values.
Kempo blends the power of Japanese Karate with the fluidity of Shaolin Kung Fu. The fusion of these complementary styles creates a dynamic, effective self-defense system.
As the first true mixed martial art, Kempo combines tradition with adaptability. At USSD, Kempo’s legacy and innovative approach provide a life-changing path to personal empowerment.
Due to its inherent adaptability, Kempo forms to the practitioner; not the other way around. As students grow in their training, they will become equipped and confident with self defense skills that fit their unique needs.
Kempo is a living, breathing, martial art that is constantly honed and refined to reflect modern day needs. USSD students receive the benefits of the traditional martial arts while sharpening the real world effectiveness.
Kempo’s belt ranking system mirrors the traditions and Karate belt order seen in dojos across Japan.
Starting as a White Belt, students focus on mastering foundational techniques and building rank-specific skills.
With each level, they unlock new challenges, progressing steadily from white to black belt while sharpening their abilities and confidence.
Our dojos serve to create an environment for people and communities to thrive.
At United Studios, we believe that our storied legacy, personal instruction, and strength in community energizes growth in every student.
While Kempo was founded in Hawaii, United Studios proudly honors its deeper origins at the Shaolin Temple in China.
Our close partnership with the Shaolin Temple allows us to provide unique, immersive training experiences, blending ancient wisdom with modern practice. This is more than martial arts—it’s a journey through history.
