Randy is a legit black belt but more importantly he is a great teacher. He makes sure you understand stand why you are using the move being taught but chaining it into something else. He also does realistic self-defense and mixes it into every class. You will learn the sport side of bjj but also how to defend yourself. I have trained at multiple gyms now and Randy is by far the best instructor I have ever trained with. I can't stress how much better he teaches them every other instructor I have had.

They do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing etc. They have very knowleable coaches who care about the growth of the students. The atmosphere is friendly and they keep their mats very clean. We've tried several gyms in the area and this is the best one in town. I've noticed a significant growth in confidence and discipline in my kids since they started training BJJ here. As an adult female who trains in the adults class, I feel very comfortable and supported by the coaches and training partners. Great place to learn self defense with a good group of people. Thank you Eddy for creating a great environment for everyone to become their best selves!

I visit several studios and found that some of them lacked any kind of personality. My daughter is extremely out-going, but still would benefit from a smile and some gentle guidance in a youth class. I was also turned off that many studios require long-term contracts. Given my daughter is 4, I want her to continue with what she is enjoying and has an interest in and don't want to force her to keep going if she decides it's not for her. Utah Self Defense has been amazing. I actually found it when another studio recommended them because they don't cater to young children. Their prices are extremely reasonable and there's no contract. Shihan Carlos and the office manager Morgan are really friendly and have been great with getting my daughter acclimated to Karate. She's excited to go and when class is over, she doesn't want to leave. That says a lot to me about how they are treating her. The class is demanding and structured but the instructors are friendly and give guidance firmly but with kindness. I also like that the owners make it feel like a family, hosting holiday parties and other events where kids and parents can come meet each other and connect around the common interest of Karate.

I have been thoroughly impressed with USDF Black Belt Academy and would recommend it very highly…read more It's staff is knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely care about every one of their students. The instructors have a love and passion for what they do -- and that love and passion is clearly conveyed in their instruction. They teach not only karate skills but also life skills. Before a student can advance a belt he or she has to meet with the head instructor and confirm that the student is doing well in school and doing what they are supposed to be doing in their home life. Notably, USDF has been very supportive of not only my 11-year-old son but also my 9-year-old daughter, who doesn't even take karate but who they nevertheless support in her separate dance activities. USDF is like a family and they care for their students as if they were family. I would encourage anyone looking at putting their son or daughter in karate to give serious consideration to USDF. It is the very first place I would put my kids. Period.

When we first signed him up I didn't know what to expect other than him learning to disarm a group of bad guys with a popscicle stick. His Kung Fu would be strong. So here's what I've learned so far: 1.) It's not Kung-Fu. It's Karate. Don't ask me what kind as I'm not in to the lifestyle enough to know the difference. He wears a karategi, bows on demand, and is learning some pretty cool moves that, while they aren't up to Karate Kid standards, are impressive. Especially for being a little guy. 2.) This place demands respect. The kids ask permission to enter the mat, leave the mat, and are expected to give their instructors all of the respect they deserve. It also carries in to their personal lives as they can earn ribbons for their belts based on good grades, respect for parents, etc. The munchkins take this serious and i have seen them remove ribbons as well. Participant trophies do not apply. 3.) They truly care about your kids. I was impressed that all of the staff and instructors quickly learn names and treat the kids like real people. It's good to see the littles treated with the same respect they are expected to give. 4.) Date nights. These are pretty cool. For an extremely small price (I think $15) you can drop the kids off one Friday night per month for a few hours and go on a date. It's cheap, you can trust them, and you don't have a neighbor kid rummaging through your bedroom while you're gone. I really have nothing to compare this place to. I like them for the reasons above and a bunch of others not really worth typing about. They are making a difference for my little one and I like the confidence and agility his is gaining through their program. We're still working on the popscicle stick trick.

There really isn't another one of it's kind in Utah. It is obvious from the moment you walk into the place that the kids are taught this art well. Black belts look like what black belts should. This definitely isn't a McDojo! The kids are expected to show respect to instructors, parents, and each other. This shows through and through in the way they are instructed to address each other. And despite this strict regimen it is obvious that the love and care for the kids themselves is of the utmost importance. They have a lot of safety equipment and kids are not allowed to perform various skills without the safety equipment on or around them. They also have adult classes. I haven't watched many of those but if they are at all indicative of what I have seen with the kids classes, they are sure to be run very well. Oh, one more thing, they must know what they are doing because they have dozens of world champion martial arts instructors and students there. Hard to become a world champion without at least some success at your craft.
