Not Your Average Martial Arts School

There are many things that set United Studios of Self Defense apart from other martial arts schools in Sandy, but according to Jason Covey, the co-owner of United Studios of Self Defense, it’s their focus on private lessons that makes the biggest difference.

In a private lesson, it’s all about the student, and the focus is on that student’s individual achievements. The instructors will start by teaching their students the basics, and then they’ll build up from there moving at the student’s individual pace.

At United Studios of Self Defense, it’s not just about punching or kicking; it’s about taking care of people. And they don’t have to trap students in with contracts either. Their students come back because they enjoy the programs provided, as well as the competitive rates.

We asked Jason why they do what they do at United Studios of Self Defense. Here’s what he had to say:

“Our mission is to teach martial arts to as many people as possible. We are martial artists first, and teaching is a big part of who we are.

Building Success Through Referrals and Community Involvement

Jason credits United Studios of Self Defense’s strong online reputation to his team’s commitment to maintaining their online presence through blogging and posting on social media.

At United Studios of Self Defense, community outreach is the name of the game when it comes to growth, and they participate in a variety of community events, including festivals, career days and school assemblies. They also get a lot of referrals from the students and families they work with.

We asked Jason what advice he has for other business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here are his words of wisdom:

“Structure your program so that you are providing long-term value with your classes. As a school, cleanliness is key, and it really makes a difference. It’s also important to treat people fairly and to recognize that, at the end of the day, the students must come first.”


Congratulations to the team at United Studios of Self Defense for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jason, for taking the time to speak with us!
