"I have been taking my son to train with Sifu Argos for about six months now--I have been training alongside, although it is mainly for my son. Sifu Argos is an excellent teacher--patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. He is committed to having students learn. Alongside learning techniques, Sifu Argos offers stories and anecdotes of his training, and this is a nice benefit. What he teaches certainly emphasizes self-defense, but it is more than that. What I have noticed in my son is that he is developing his confidence and his body awareness. He has tended to be somewhat clumsy in the past--if someone was going to accidentally stub a toe or get hit with a branch, etc. it would be him. But since taking lessons, he seems more aware of where he is and what is around him. He shows growing confidence about himself as well, even though he is only six months along and has much more to learn. In short, Sifu Argos is a skilled and learned teacher, who wants to bring out the best in his students, and he does this by emphasizing the full art. As said above, this includes self-defense, and very effective techniques on top of that, but as integrated into other aspects also important, such as poise, self-control, focus, and inner balance."
"it has been several years since I last trained but I studied with Sifu Argos for quite some time. His knowledge of kungfu and the Wudang styles is, in a word, impressive.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for balance in their physical and internal well-being."

"I have studied with Shirfu Argos for 3 years and have enjoyed the lessons, the Practice and the life teachings. I think this school has so much versatility so that some one could study here for many reasons. If you want to learn Real Internal Martial Arts(Hsing i,Baugua,Taiji) and Qi Gong and Meditation this is for you, for healing and/or Combat... I have been blessed to learn all of these and even have been able to keep up lessons over the phone , through email, and videos... this is a rare school (It is a treasure) and I would recommend this school to anyone at any age looking for a positive way of life."
"Master Argos brings decades of practice and experience to his teaching. He has studied with numerous Chinese and American Sifus/Masters of these arts and has a gift of being able to transfer what he has learned (and developed himself) in ways that practitioners of any level can benefit. He tailors the training to the student rather than expecting "one size fits all" to work for only those that can sift through the training. I am soon to be 65yrs. old, yet he finds ways for me to train to my capacity. I have trained with several teachers, in several different styles over 25 years myself. Master Argos is the real deal. He also is a well balanced Human Being. He is a Master Jazz Guitarist as well. He has taught one of my daughters guitar, and is a teacher of Music. His understanding of Zen Buddhism informs every thing he does. I am grateful and honored to be his student of several years."
