It's extremely well organized, and everyone there truly cares about the kids. The new owners, Sensei Quan and Sensei Butler, have taken the program to another level. They are dedicated, professional, and always quick to respond or accommodate whenever families need something. They push the kids to be their best while still keeping it fun and supportive. My daughter has grown so much in confidence and focus, and she's built a great group of friends through the program. The instructors have really helped toughen her up in the best way. She's more disciplined, responsible, and proud of her progress. If you're looking for a karate school that truly invests in your child's growth, both physically and mentally, MAI International Karate is the place to be.

My kids l, and crazily enough, myself and I have loved the way the program is created and conducted for the students to be taught martial arts here at this dojo! If you're a parent like me, who wants their kid to be taught self defense but still very weary about the actual tournaments/sparring/etc say no more what I love about MAI is that all the senseis here have actual skills plus HEARTS! they hear us parents our with our annoying concerns and talk to our kids and build confidence, focus on building each skill-set, and not create competitive edge where it causes tension amongst the kids but camaraderie and real life skill sets on how to defend one's self in situations (which even I watch to pickup some moves haha). Now, keep in mind kids will be kids and you do have some sparring days that can be jarring, but again the senseis have all been there to be super supportive to make sure everyone feels safe! Besides regular lessons, they have awesome special field trip days, special ninja nights, and other fun activities! Highly recommend this dojo!

I have been a UDT member (Anaheim) for the last several months. This program is simply exceptional. The UDT programming teaches you real world simulations and hands on civilian defense training. There are clear curriculum and levels to help you progress based on your own personal goals. I have learned basic firearm safety, proficient in basic shooting skills, learning self and personal defense, in general situational awareness, and California law for self defense. I am now focused on more advanced tactics, movement and shooting, multiple firearm use, and more. I can't speak highly enough of the instructors (Lamar, John, Chris, Amanda, etc.)! The front staff are so helpful and friendly. Simply, the best! They bring their own robust experience to every class and lesson. They are tactical professionals and amazing teachers as they balance all skill levels of our community. I am looking forward to continuing my own personal goals with UDT! read more

I had the pleasure of training with Chris Wiles at United Defense Tactical in Anaheim Hills, and I can confidently say he is one of the best instructors out there. His patience, expertise, and ability to break down complex concepts make learning both effective and enjoyable. Chris has a wealth of knowledge and an incredible way of teaching proper terminology, firearm safety, and best practices. He ensures that every student, regardless of experience level, understands not just how to handle a firearm but also the why behind each technique. His emphasis on safety, precision, and real-world application sets him apart. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced shooter looking to refine your skills, Chris creates a supportive and professional environment that helps you build confidence and competence. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about learning the right way to handle firearms safely and effectively. Christine kfoury read more

I have been attending classes at this location for about 6 months so far and I have learned so much about firearms that J recommend everyone at least goes to the introduction class. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgable, provide updates to the lessons about laws as quickly as the laws are updated, and the curriculum is very engaging for anyone who is interested in learning more about any form of self-defense. All of the instructors are very welcoming and will gladly teach you anything you need to know if you're new to firearms/handguns and self-defense laws in a way that you don't feel left behind by other new students. Despite being here for less than a year so far, I already feel more confident about my ability to handle firearms and defend myself and my family. The environment that has been created here is extremely welcoming and is part of what keeps me excited to continue coming back to learn more! read more

For the past two months, my mother and I have had the privilege of training at United Tactical Defense. This organization provides top-tier firearms training for all skill levels, from beginners to experts. Beyond the fundamentals of home defense, they emphasize firearm safety and legal education to ensure responsible ownership and prevent unnecessary risks. I've had the opportunity to train with Coach Lamar (Former CHP) and Chris (Former Colonel in the Army), both of whom demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and expertise. Their guidance has significantly improved our confidence and preparedness. It's truly refreshing to be part of an organization that is not only professional but also deeply connected and family-oriented.

It never occurred to me that learning tactical defense could be so intense , detailed and fun at the same time. The five different instructors that I have had classes with have all been very patient, knowledgeable, and experienced. The company atmosphere is very welcoming and pleasant. I recommend this training to anyone who wants to learn about self defense. You don't know what you don't know until you take a class. I thought I had good situational awareness, but a couple of training exercises blew that idea right up. Things can happen so fast that you can't think what to do, or even remember what happened when it is over. Very enlightening. I am so glad I am getting this training. read more

In the home defense shotgun course, I learned how to maneuver the shotgun in tighter spaces, use optics effectively, and handle different target distances with much more control and confidence. What really sets Apex apart is the way Brett explains the "why" behind every drill, tailors feedback to each shooter, and maintains a serious but respectful environment. You can tell he cares about building safe, responsible, and capable shooters. If you're looking for legitimate defensive training in Orange County, I highly recommend Apex Defensive Strategies!
