About Armen K:
Armen was born in Ukraine Odessa and immigrated to the United States in 1988. Inspired by Bruce Lee, Armen took up the art of Tang Soo Do because he was tired of getting picked on in school. After getting his black belt, Armen wanted a real challenge. Hearing from a friend that Muay Thai was the most brutal combat sport out there, he decided to try it. A firm believer of cross training, Armen believes it is best to know multiple martial arts styles. As a result, he also started to study Taekwondo (WTF) and Kali/Escrima weaponry at one of the top ten martial arts schools in the nation, California Taekwondo Training Center. In high school, for extra endurance he was on the football, wrestling, track, and cross country teams.

In 1996, Armen started his professional career in Taekwondo and Muay Thai Kickboxing. He has traveled to Hawaii, Canada, Puerto Rico, Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Ukraine, Thailand and Japan for competition.

After hundreds of trophies, medals, and three championship title belts, Armen felt he had achieved his competitive goals and he retired from competition. Since then, he has dedicated his life to educating, inspiring, and training young people through fitness and martial arts.
