Our Credentials
To insure top quality instruction, all Instructors must graduate with honors from the United Studios Instructors College or Junior Instructor Camp. In the Northern California area, the College is taught by two of our Senior Instructors, Master Linda Tomasello and Master Gary Flickinger, who have been training in martial arts and managing studios for over twenty-five years. The Junior Instructor Camp is led by Master Linda Tomasello and Sensei Advait Gokhale. Our Instructors must constantly refine their teaching and organizational skills to make your Martial Arts training experience exciting and enjoyable. Upon completion of this unique training course, we certify them to teach the United Studios of Self Defense System. Fully qualified, they are prepared to help you with all aspects of your Martial Arts Training.
