All Extreme Combat

I looked around to find the right martial arts school to go to. They all look so good but what I wanted most was to learn self-defense that actually works. It seems most dojos schools teach one art or a few and glorify them above all others. That could be OK but what I wanted most was the ability to rapidly defeat real assailants. I’m a veteran but frankly, I forgot most of the hand to hand combat that was taught to me. And as much as I’d love to have that super-fit body that I had as an infantry soldier, that was a long time ago. I wanted to get back into shape and regain some self-discipline that I had lost. I had dabbled in martial arts when I was young and wanted to be a practioner ever since. I had been procrastinating my whole life. I’m in my 50s now. Earlier this year I finally wrote it down, to become a martial arts practioner. I visited AEC’s website and they looked like they had what I wanted. The founder Sergey Akopdjanov ‘sir-gay uh-cub-jun-awv’ studied under a grandmaster in Asia. Sergey seemed like a badass dude, even training in the true old-school environments. The kind where students come from far away to study at the school and they spend the entire day training, rigorously. Every day. They do things like human-wheel-barrels up and down mountains. He studied in China with monks. Sergey emigrated here for his dream to start a school in America. He bounced around NY as an in-demand black belt instructor. He taught police and soldiers. This person seemed legit; I had to feel him out. I went to the AEC School. Hector Torres was running it, Sergey was not there. Hector impressed me. Turns out he’s been practicing martial arts for half a century so that explains it. He’s like some ancient master you see in Kung Fu movies. Everyone’s like ‘oh he’s old’. Then he beats everyone up. I’ve heard him called ‘The Dragon’. The class was free, their standard practice. Hector said to come back to be trained by Sergey. I did but Sergey wasn’t there. Hector trained me again. I became more impressed. Hector teaches both his own Shaolin methods incorporated into Sergey’s Jeet Kune Do art began by world-famous Bruce Lee. I came back and finally met Sergey. He trained me. I plunked my credit card down and said, “Sign me up for the VIP package.” I quickly became enamored with the school; the instruction, training and camaraderie. In two months, I went from not liking my body to liking it again. My confidence and abilities rose greatly. I could kick butt again. I finally am a martial arts practioner, I found the right school.

From your first class at All Extreme Combat, you’ll see that the welcoming atmosphere, camaraderie among the members and patience of the staff is noticeable before even starting the program. Master Sergey and Master Hector are exceptionally skilled and care about instilling the teachings of Bruce Lee and others who have advanced Jeet Kune Do from its inception through today. As you learn, you will discover new concepts; improve your cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, flexibility and speed; and experience an improved mental state. Other martial arts and self-defense academies might make promises as to what you will learn, but All Extreme Combat teaches you practical strategies for self-defense where it counts: in the streets. While it is beneficial to learn how to fight and defend against hand and weapon attacks, conflict resolution and the understanding that it is better to avoid a confrontation if possible will improve self-confidence and self-esteem. The school provides a positive atmosphere for adults, teens and children. There is ample street parking in the neighborhood.

Excellent Staff and Teachers. Master Sergey is an excellent teacher for children and Adults as well as Master Hector. I love the varied Martial Arts techniques and how it makes my body feel. In just one day I feel so strong and more energized. I love it here and would recommend to my family and friends for their health and well being! They have a lot to offer!

Sergey is the best combat martial arts instructor anywhere. He has taken the style of Bruce Lee, Jeet Kune Do, adding his own unique understanding of Bruce's techniques, philosophy, Bruce would be very proud of him. Sergey also understands the importance and equal value of healing techniques that originate from various martial arts forms. He is a totally balanced person with a relaxed, friendly teaching technique. Consider yourself very lucky to be one of his students.

Best School best teacher!!! Very lucky to find. Not only have I learned many styles of martial arts and gained a great JKD foundation but Im also now in tip top shape. Everyone in the class is very friendly, accommodating and we work hard together for maximum results! I strongly recommend this school if your looking to improve your mind body and spirit. Don’t miss out on this gem!!!

I have been coming here for about a year and half, and this place was exactly what i was looking for when i was interested in a practical martial arts. Our motto is we don't learn how to fight we learn how to destroy! There is 2 incredibly knowledgeable teachers, and it is incredible to learn the science and art behind bruce lees fighting style. Highly recommend!! don't take my word though, try a trial anytime free

Master Sergey is an excellent instructor who has a vast wealth of knowledge in martial arts and healing. Master Hector is a skilled instructor .they both take the time to make sure you are learning correctly. After you leave the class you know that you have learned new techniques and you can’t wait for the next class.

The instructors really know their craft, I've learned so much within a month. I've been to other schools and I'm going to stick to this one. Its definitely worth checking out and the bonus is that it is relatively inexpensive. Even if you think that martial arts isn't for you, I encourage you to give it a try. Everyone in this place is about improvement and helping each other get there.

great school to learn self-defense ! I highly recommend Master Serge. I have learned from him how female can defend herself from much stronger and overpowering man. He teaches you not only kicking techniques, but point pressuring techniques as well which are very effective especially for a woman in the dangerous situation. Girls, let`s face it : In case of attack we have to be smarter and faster then an attacker and also, we have to have a trained mind and body for this kind of situation. So, if you want to learn self-defense in the real life situations or have reasons to be prepared for that --this is the place. Thank you master Serge, you are the best!

Great place I was lucky to discover this year in my neighborhood. Excellent training by 2 high level masters! Great for beginners and even for a very experienced martial artists. My kids, my wife and I are all enjoying to go there. Highly recommended!
