What People are Saying About Our Swat Classes

There are so many times in our lives when we are unsure of our surroundings, our decisions and ourselves. Sometimes I barely recognize myself; but I know that I can always depend on you to snap me out of it. Youve never judged me or my story, youve never pitied me or my plight. Youve always given yourself freely. The lessons that I have learned from you are more than just martial arts they are life lessons. Somehow each of your personal stories relate to me and my life on some level. I am always in awe of the occasional glimpses you allow us to see from your training.I loe learning from you with you. Please know that I will wear my Black Belt with pride, but the fact the I am a Fariborz Azhakh certified Black belt is the cherry on the top! I will honor your name and the TKC legacy that you have built. I will do my best to live by the code. You can always depend on me and I will stand by your side. I will defend YOU, TKC and your family as if they were my own because I feel in my heart that they are. Bruce Lee said Its not what you give, its the way you give it. I hope I can GIVE to you the way you have GIVEN to me.

Thank You! Looking forward to the journey to 2nd!

I am currently enrolled in TKC's SWAT (Special Winning Attitude Team) program. The philosophy shared and lessons taught in this 12 week class are truly valuable and beneficial not only on the mat as a student and/or instructor; but can also be applied in one's personal and professional life. Kyoshi graciously and generously shares his wisdom about life and the martial arts learned from his own experiences and education interspersed with the knowledge and learnings of other influential people that have touched the martial arts world. The lessons are inspiring and enlightening - basic teachings based on common sense, honest values and morals.

For anyone looking to become more involved within TKC or simply looking for some guidance to every day life, I highly recommend participating in this program. The rewards speak for themselves.

Much respect,

Mr. Fariborz,

First off. Thank you very much for putting the leadership program day all together. I have never been to such a well organized thought out program . I never looked at the clock, that's how much I enjoyed it. Breaking down certain critereria and getting a better understanding of how we think and act was pretty amazing. I beleive that day help me in a way that if I was told to teach a class that I could. I know I need more instruction but, I do know I could fake it untill I make it.
Sparring:

I loved it! I could feel your presence in away that made me think that's how I would like to be( confident, ready for what ever comes). I also have to work on my counter to kicks and punches. Meaning, do more roundhouse defense drills so I can feel more comfortable when I do spar. Also, after sparring I always try to anyalize what I did and should of done. But, it helped alot when you critique me on my punches and why I was not getting in because I was not stepping in. I need to fine that comfort zone where I am relaxed enough to react to what is coming toward me. The whole day was amazing and you Mr. Fariborz and Mr. Robert are very good at speaking where you keep it so fresh. Awesome!!!

Thank you for including me.

Okay, back in business. Thank you sir. I am really enjoying the SWAT content - not only for it"s applications within TKC but as it applies to life. I am in virtually every aspect of my life starting anew right now, and I"m finding that it helps with new relationships and new beginnings as well as those I"ve had for years. Thank you for everything you"ve given me over the years.

This has been a very positive and useful experience for Max. Thanks for being so patient with him.
