I guess, though if you go to ussd's website they have a video in which Cynthia Rothrock promotes ussd.

A real Kung Fu stylist and former Champion of it, promoting....well...something less than? Must be a signifcant monetary value linked. Maybe tha't why they charge so much for everything? They have to afford a star like her.
Seriously, it just doesn't fit.
Have to edit here, just read the interview, all I say is WOW!

Joe- Her promoting a system that she is linked to via her reputation and her money makes sense, her actual ties to the org. and reasons for choosing them do NOT make sense (to me).
Maybe she will make some money on her investment or partnership or whatever but I would bet that is ALL it is. I always liked her but McDojo+ "B" movie Action Starlette=$$

I have to agree with you about not doing any research about ussd. I meen where's the kungfu in it?

I don't know why Cynthia Rothrock is promoting ussd, I just know she is and if you go to her official website there is a picture of her with Steve Demasco, and another one of her wearing a ussd uniform. To be honest though I'm sure $ has something to do with it.

Money and recognition for her, money and recognition for USSD.
It's a win-win situation for them.
To be completely honest, I didn't know who Cynthia Rothrock was before I joined United Studios.
In having read the interview, it's obvious she doesn't know anything about United Studios. Nothing. Her rank is probably completely honorary... Given only because of who she is. How she has her own school is well beyond me.
I can only imagine what would happen if someone like Jackie Chan or Jet Li joined USSD!
Actually, pretty much. about 90% of the history looks like it's straight out of the USSD manual, with some information removed and other inforation added in.
Likely, their motives would also be questioned.

I don't know if anyone else here is aware of this, but yesterday I learned that former Welterweight champion Sugar Ray Leonard is learning martial arts at ussd.

That news is about 10 years old now (damn, I'm getting old!). There was an article about it in one of the martial arts magazines. Can't remember if it was Inside Kung Fu or Black Belt Magazine, but I'm pretty sure it was one of those.

How recent is your manual? The one I have was printed 14 years ago, and the history information from shaolinarts.com is pretty much a carbon copy. Just replaced Mattera with their studios head instructor.

Maybe old news to everyone else but it's news to me. I had no idea Sugar Ray Leonard was involved with ussd.

I was looking over the stuff on that website, laughing to myself as I read all of the stuff. It is practically United Studios under a different name. There are some slight differences, but not much.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Now they just need a monument at the Shaolin Temple.

You seem really against ussd. I don't agree with some of the stuff they do either, but I'm not antagonistic towards them either, and I like the style they teach.

You like the style Joe? Have you studied any other styles so you can compare?
