Shotokan Karate Teen Black Belt Club, Scarsdale, NY.  2.5 years training, 13 year old student.
From the Steve Hess (San Dan Skotokan Karate) of Edgemont/Scarsdale.

“As a dedicated practitioner of the martial arts for 30 years, I truly appreciate the integrity of the school that Sensei Vladimir has built in our community.
It is extremely rare to find a teacher with his expertise & proficiency who is able to convey and relate exceptionally well with very small children all the way through to adults in a fun & nuturing, learning environment. He has built a thriving, exceptional school without the need to have his students sign financial contracts and they truly enjoy being there. My son has learned a great deal of self esteem, perseverance, self confidence, discipline and dedication in addition to him strengthening his body and building endurance both physically and mentally. His experience there will serve him for the rest of his life.
