HOLLYWOOD WANTS US!!
Hollywood movie and TV studios have used many of our students for martial arts roles.  We are often called for children, women, and men to audition for various upcoming roles in new movies.  We were called for people to be in a Steven Segal video. Master Skornia personally knows and has trained with Steven Segal.  They trained at the same Aikido school in Tokyo, Japan.  One of our Black Belts is the brother of one of Steven Segal's highest ranked instructors.
