I really have seen the difference Vianis has done for my son. Martial Arts has helped him to become stronger and have better manners. Every time Johnny acts out or can’t focus, the Instructors help him to get back on track. They take the time to show him how to do his best, also when I can’t show him or have problems with getting him to practise they always help. I can count on the whole crew to help Johnny strive to be his best. Master Viani also has talked to Johnny to show him how to behave at school and at Martial Arts. Johnny has improved in school and at Vianis because of all the help and consistency. I have and would continue to tell everyone about Vianis Martial Arts.

My 9 yr old son started going to Vianis almost 6 months ago. He absolutely loves it! The instructors are so good with kids. Not only do they get great martial arts training, they get life lessons. The instructors reinforce attitude, respect and are so motivational. I think it’s great. I can honestly say that having my son join Vianis martial arts has been the best experience.  It has helped him be less shy and more confident.  He is very proud of his achievements, it’s been a huge boost to his self-esteem.
I know he will continue to train for many years to come.  It is worth every penny and I highly recommend Vianis.

Our son has been focused on achieving each level in his martial arts training. He has really been enjoying the TASMA program. Vianis martial arts has been a positive place for him to be, learn and have a lot of fun and interact with peers and adults respectfully.

The martial arts program at Vianis has helped Jacob to gain confidence in himself. If has helped improve his focus on daily tasks, respect for himself and others and improve his balance.

Our family motto is “never give up” & that has helped him to persevere when he finds a task difficult. It is reassuring to find a place that has similar values to our families. Thank you.

I would recommend this program & have to anyone.

I enjoy watching my son have so much fun. He really likes coming & I never have to drag him to his Martial Arts Class. Cole is very focused in class, he seems to want to learn and gain as much knowledge as he can. I have been with him in other sports and he loses interest. It might be a little early to say it has helped him outside of his class, but I believe it will help him keep focused more over time. He is very proud that his is in Martial Arts.

Vianis Martial Arts has become a staple in our every day/weekly routine. Three of us train, myself and two daughters. Both girls love going to TASMA (the after school martial arts program). I have found the consistency and structured program to be a strong base for them as they develop into young adults. The reminder of positive life skills and encouragement through leadership programs has proven to be instrumental in both girls being more confident in their own abilities and outgoing with others.  We have been members with Vianis for 4+ years and counting. I would highly recommend this program to other parents and children before putting them into team sports.

Since enrolling Carmine in Vianis in May 2009, we have seen a positive change in Carmine’s self confidence and discipline. He has also become more outgoing with other kids.

Carmine enjoys coming to Vianis and we would recommend Vianis to our family and friends.

“Ever since I was a kid I had the dream of getting a ‘Black Belt’.  I took classes when I was 13, and dropped out.  I took classes when I was 17, and dropped out.  I tried again when I was 25, and dropped out.  Each time I would climb the ladder to an ‘intermediate’ level, and then I would burn out and lose interest.  When I was 40 I decided it was time to give it another try.  I already had my son Andy enrolled in Viani’s Martial arts – and I spoke to Master Jeff Viani about taking classes myself.  From my previous experiences I knew I wasn’t cut out for normal group classes.  Together we created a program and a game-plan that would work for me.  I took intensive, private lessons – and this time I did it!  I achieved my goal and was presented with my Black Belt.

Master Viani and the entire staff were excellent to work with.  I had the pleasure of having a variety of different instructors – and each brought their own unique talents to my instruction.

I am very pleased with my decision to take classes with Vianis Martial Arts –  I highly recommend them.”

The reasons I have and will continue to train at Vianis Martial Arts
School, Conditioning; after a heart attack in my early 40’s I needed a work out that not only kept my body in shape but also motivation to keep me coming back. Viani’s has been able to keep me physically fit and wanting to continue my training with new programs, bettering myself within the school and being able to help new students. “My doctor highly recommends it.” And so do I.

Martial arts is not simply a sport. It is a life style and something
that sticks with you forever. Vianis has shown me this over nearly a
decade of my young life. It has made me who I am, and 3 black belts
later, I am still learning how to be a better martial artist and a
better person every day I go to class. I encourage anyone thinking about joining martial arts to come to Vianis. You won’t regret a second of it, I sure haven’t.

My expectations were far exceeded when Master Viani’s instructors led a special session at the PAART Programme – a programme aimed at children who may or may not have access to many of the extra-curriculars Kamloops has to offer.

These instructors volunteered their time on a Saturday afternoon to teach an exceptionally fun, engaging, and educational lesson on martial arts to the students in my programme. Not only did they energetically engage every single one of the students (and volunteers) in our programme, but they introduced them to the history of martial arts, showed them many self-defence techniques, and created a positive working relationship with each and every child. Their instructions are clear and easy to understand, coupled with exercises/skills that are within the abilities of each student (from the beginner to the experienced). Because of this, and the steady stream of positive reinforcement conveyed to the students, each participant left feeling successful and proud of their own individual accomplishment.

One of the volunteers said, “Shawn Sabyan was very encouraging and in control, the kids respected him but still had fun and took him seriously, he made everyone want to try.”

Their programming respectfully teaches self-discipline, control, self-esteem, fine and large motor skills – all of which are integral to building a secure, confident, and respectful person.

Thank you so much for your high energy, fun, organized session!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Jones
PAART Programme Director
