My son has been attending United Studios of Self Defense in Half Moon Bay since he was five (now 7yo). It’s had such a positive impact on him. He’s become more confident, more resilient, and it even gave him the tools to stand up to a bully once.

Through age-specific group classes and personalized instruction, every student receives the guidance they need to grow with confidence, make faster progress, and carry what they learn into everyday life.
This Kid's Karate class is focused on age-appropriate material to help support the growth and development of our youngest students at United Studios of Self Defense Half Moon Bay.
Designed for adolescents, our Dragons Karate and self-defense program builds grit and resilience for everyday challenges. Students also learn how to de-escalate conflict and protect themselves.
Our system of Kempo Karate empowers adults to feel confident in their ability to defend themselves while also providing an outlet for daily stress.

Join a supportive group of women learning to wield their power with USSD. These Self Defense classes are geared to the unique challenges women face when protecting themselves.
Sensei Angelo Lanham leads USSD Half Moon Bay with a personalized, student-first approach to martial arts instruction.
As Chief Instructor, he works closely with students of all ages to help them build confidence, discipline, practical self-defense skills, and a stronger sense of what they’re capable of.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Sensei Angelo focuses on meeting each student where they are. Lessons are structured around individual goals, learning styles, and experience levels, giving students the focused guidance they need to make meaningful progress both inside and outside the dojo.
His goal is simple: create an encouraging place where students feel challenged, supported, and excited to keep growing.
