I have also been fortunate enough to train with Master Azad for more than ten years. In that time, I personally witnessed not only his great skill in teaching Martial Arts, but countless examples of true caring and compassion for students, instructors and the community. He is constantly leading us to achieve greater strengh physically, mentally and spirtually. This man is a role model who believes that we all have the power and responsibility to make the world a better place. It is Master Azad who teaches that it is our own journey of growth that we wear much more evidently than a colored piece of cloth around the waist.
Azad's Martial Arts is run by Master Farshad Azad. Master Azad lives every day of his life by the martial arts code of ethics. Various community members in Chico will tell you that Master Azad's presence in this community for the last twenty-some years has changed the nature of Chico for the better. He is someone who rolls up his sleeves and goes to work for the betterment of this community. In the past, he was a champion of tournaments and he has trained with the best internationally. However, his focus is on helping his students to become better human beings and live more fulfilled lives in all three areas: mental, physical, and emotional. His greatest satisfaction is to get his students involved in helping those less fortunate or by educating children. If you train with Master Azad, you are not only training with the best skill-wise, and with someone who has run a successful martial arts school for over twenty years, but with someone who will teach you to become a positive influence in the world around you. Not to mention that he puts you through a heck of a workout and that there is a real sense of teamwork among the students in all his classes!
I have trained with Master Azad for almost ten years. It’s great training with a Master Instructor that walks the walk. He keeps himself fit and is always learning something new in martial arts so he can bring it back to his students. He has an endless wealth of Martial Arts knowledge but more than that I truly feel he cares about me on a personal level and my training. He always pushes me to be my absolute best that I can be physically, mentally and spiritually.
