Life & Work with Armen Heroian

Today we’d like to introduce you to Armen Heroian.

Hi Armen, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today. 
I got started in Martial Arts in March of 1974. Signed up at Fred Villari’s Studios of self-defense. Started teaching full-time on Oct 12, 1981, in Hudson, MA. Moved to California in 1983. In April of 1986, I went to work for Fred Villari’s Studios of self-defense. On June 22, 1987, I opened up My Glendale, CA Location. On January 1991, I move led to my present location, where I have been now for the present! 

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The struggle was to build the school, pay my rent, and house rent. When I started. Since then, it’s a pleasure and no worries. Took Jesus on as a partner. And He has been providing me will all my students, given me great health, and a sensational landlord. Protecting the school during covid and the lockdowns. I never closed down or changed anything. No Masks, No Sanitation, no Social Distancing. Not one person got sick. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
