This studio is awesome! My only complaint is the Shaolin. Im not Buddhist. The good news is that there is no pressure to convert. Highly recommended life skills

When I went there in the early '90s I had some of the best lessons I could have ever asked for I learned a lot from them I never got to thank them for that I hope they beat this with you I haven't forgotten what I've learned from them and I'm always internally grateful for the lessons I received

My son began training 6 months ago at Fred Villaris's Studio. Prior to his training, he had a low self esteem and struggled socially which led to him having bullies. Now he's a whole new person. His confidence has increased tremendously. His dedication and motivation as well. I can't thank Armen enough for his support. My son feels the care and patience Armen provides for his growth . He is an amazing sensei ! I know my son will forever use the life skills he is being taught.
