I have been training in the martial arts with Mr. Faber and United Studios for almost 30 years. He is a master teacher and mentor that will help you achieve your goals and full potential! I can't recommend United Studios of Self Defense enough!

Hands down, the best. My son has been with Sensei Faber for nearly 5 year and he loves it. We love the things he is taught and the overall atmosphere of the Dojo. All of the instructors are very supportive, as well as the other students towards each other.

I am so excited! Our son Luca had his first session today and did amazing! He went home nice and calm and it was a short trial session. We can’t wait for more!!!! 🌎✅

Having experienced different dojo's / instructors over 3 years now. Sensei Aaron Faber is without a doubt the best. No nonsense, kind, patient approach with that wise, commanding respect presence you want from an experienced knowledgeable martial arts sensei. Mr. Faber is who you want if you're truly serious about learning the ways of the martial arts.

This place is amazing

My background has a couple years of Karate and Kung Fu. When I moved to SLC, I was shopping around, trying to find a place that matched my ideals for a martial arts studio (fitness, mutual respect amongst students, motivation, and practical wisdom). I was underwhelmed after trying kickboxing and jujitsu. But, Sensei Faber (and mrs. Sensei) run the kind of school where you are going to mature and ... More

My background has a couple years of Karate and Kung Fu. When I moved to SLC, I was shopping around, trying to find a place that matched my ideals for a martial arts studio (fitness, mutual respect amongst students, motivation, and practical wisdom). I was underwhelmed after trying kickboxing and jujitsu. But, Sensei Faber (and mrs. Sensei) run the kind of school where you are going to mature and likely make good friends. I enrolled January 1st 2020 and have enjoyed it so much my 9 year old is coming now as well. We both leave our classes sweaty, challenged, and happy 3 times a week! Less

I am excited for my children to be back in a Dojo where Sensei Aaron promotes...effort, etiquette sincerity, self-control, and character ...these are life skills that will help grow them into fine young men and women

Love This Place! Sensei Faber is amazing. I've been going for a couple years, lost tons of weight. You get what you pay for... and its one of the best decisions I've ever made Going to United Studios completely changed my life, in a good way. It really effects everything in your life, training in Martial Arts is like a full body meditation. I've tried several places, but United Studios is hands down the best.. Plus its the only Studio in America certified to teach Kung Fu from the Shaolin Temple in China. I could go on and on, but lets just say. I would rate Sensei Faber's Dojo, with ☆☆☆☆☆☆(6 stars) if I could. Changed my life, hopefully it'll change yours too :-D Less

Mr. Faber is the best teacher. If you want to learn martial arts, if you want to be stronger, fitter, and more confident. This is the man to learn from!

I have been a student of USSD since the early 90s. I've studied under Mr. Faber for five years now, and his dedication to the martial arts and level of attention and care for his student is unmatched. I love coming here and learning from him every week!

We have been a part of USSD for about 6 years or so. We are so lucky to have have Sensei Faber ! He is funny, genuine, and knowledgeable. He has a great mix of making things fun and getting a great workout. He truly cares about each student's journey and how to become a well rounded student. My daughter gained many benefits from studying under Sensei. I have as well and I can't wait to sign up ... More

We are so glad to be part of the USSD family! which is truly what it feels like....family! Less

We are so grateful to have this amazing studio in our neighborhood! Sensei Faber has a talent for working with the four-five year old age group. He is patient but strict and the kids definitely respond to it. My son is progressing with each class and the positive results outside of the studio are noticeable. I highly recommend United Studios of Self Defense in SLC.

I first tried USSD 18 years ago(the free lesson)and I had a life changing experience, I knew I wanted to take lessons here. I'm an adult now and well I was finally able to do it, walked into a different dojo than before, but tada! Same Sensei. Sensei Faber inspired me 18 years ago, tried other places,(community centers, tae kwon do, etc.) nothing compared to Sensei Faber... I was 12 years old for... More

I'm an adult now and well I was finally able to do it, walked into a different dojo than before, but tada! Same Sensei. Sensei Faber inspired me 18 years ago, tried other places,(community centers, tae kwon do, etc.) nothing compared to Sensei Faber... I was 12 years old for that first lesson. It my dream as a child to take lessons here and sometimes dreams do come true... Now after all this time I returned, since I started, I've lost 100 lbs and weigh less than I did when I was 15.. Dare I say, I feel better than I did then too.. All around amazing. Less

I am extremely excited for the Grand Opening of the Salt Lake City USSD dojo. The building has been extensively renovated to provide the best martial arts training area available. More over, Mr. Aaron Faber will be the Chief Instructor at this location. My conviction and dedication to USSD & Mr. Faber’s teachings have not only provided the martial arts that I’m seeking but given me a sense of companionship and positive reinforcement as USSD works hard to provide a family friendly and open space for self improvement without judgment in all of their locations. I am not just another client with USSD, I am a life long member and that relationship has been earned by years of teaching from dozens of high ranking instructors and countless functions that USSD provides. While the closest USSD location is fantastic, I purposely drive the extra miles to train with (in my humble opinion) one of the best martial artists and instructors that I have met. Thank you Mr. Faber for all your instruction. Less

One step in this studio and immediately you know this place demands respect. Aaron Faber's masterful woodwork and design of this studio creates a sense awe that's exciting. What a great grand opening!
