Welcome!

Bet you thought our Glendale martial arts school was just a super cool place to get fit and learn self-defense...well, you're right, but it's a lot MORE than just that!

As you get strong and physically fit, you'll also start to see some changes that most of our students didn't know would happen. Especially the younger ones. They are totally amazed by the subtle changes that happen when you train in our programs.

Excellent self protection system to learn, very though and complete in fighting system. learning a hard style from a traditional system not only teaches you to defend your self but to live a better life

I tried all through my twenties and early thirties to find an exercise program that I would enjoy and would stick with. I tried the gym, aerobics and yoga but nothing stuck. I thought I had always wanted to learn karate so I finally went in to try it. Now over 20 years later I guess you can say I found something that I could stick with! The program not only transforms you physically, but it engages your mind and emotions. I built a confidence that affects every aspect of my life. Master Armen inspires you to try harder without pushing. Try it and you will not regret it!

I have been taking lessons here from Master Armen for the better part of 17 years, since I was six years old. What I’ve learned here goes far beyond martial arts; he has taught me to be confident and strong, and to believe in myself. I cannot recommend this program strongly enough.

This school is awesome. I have been training here since 1991 and I don't regret a single class. Master Heroian is an awesome instructor. He inspires us all as students to strive to be our best in not just the martial arts, but in daily life. He makes the classes not only upbeat and fun, but Master Heroian also stays in touch with what is going on in the area to make our training more practical for the streets. This school is one you definitely want to check out. You won't be disappointed.

Our family has been training in this dojo for 7 years now. I have watched each of my four children thrive and change greatly with each passing belt. They each have different strengths and different needs, and master Heroian does a great job teaching them individually. Self defense and martial arts techniques are taught alongside character building blocks such as perseverance, self control, humility, self esteem, discipline, strength of will, and more. Our family gives it 5 stars!
