Hello world!
Hello friends and fellow martial artists!! For those of you with whom I haven’t had the privilege of speaking to or meeting personally, my name is Melissa Aznar, and I am the CEO of Aznar Weaponry. To give you a very brief background on myself, I have approximately 20 years of experience in the martial arts, ranging from Aikido, Iaido, Arnis, Tae Kwon Do, and Kenpo, with some experience in other areas like Jujutsu, Muay Thai and KickBoxing.
Throughout my years of training, I have had the extreme honor of studying under some of the world’s BEST and most dedicated martial artists, such as Sensei Robert MacEwen, Shihan Bowe, Kyoshi Steve LaVallee, Grand Master Dr. Robert Braff, Master Cacoy Canete, Danny Inosanto, and Master Sam Kim, to name only a few. My main emphases right now are within the Nihon Goshin Aikido system under Sensei Robert MacEwen and Shihan Bowe; in the International San Ryu Do Iaido system, under the instruction of Grand Master Dr. Robert Braff; as well as in Kyoshi Steve LaVallee’s USA Black Belt Champion’s Kenpo system, under the incredible instruction of Master and Sensei Sgarlata and Company.
To say that I have been blessed with the opportunities that I have had in my life solely in the people I have encountered and the life that I lead, as far as living and breathing martial arts, would be putting it lightly. Not too many people can say that they have the honor of being able to wake up every morning and do what they absolutely LOVE to do from start to finish, day in and day out, while meeting some of the world’s most incredible martial artists and make a living in doing so.
I would be completely remiss if I didn’t mention the vast number of people that I have met and become friends with through the martial arts, whether it be my friends in Aikido; the LaVallee’s group in Cicero, NY; my friends in the Philippines; my ISRD friends in Ohio; and even those with whom I have met only through Aznar Weaponry itself. Each and every one of you have helped mold me into the person who I am today, and in turn, you have all helped to create Aznar Weaponry into the fantastic business that it has become, though none more-so than my parents and my grandparents, but especially my grandfather. So, thank you to you all and may only the brightest of rays shine down upon you for that. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
With all that having been said, and in not as “brief” a way as I had intended, thank you so much for taking the time to review our Aznar Weaponry website, as your interest, support and feedback are always a great deal of help in allowing us to provide you all with the most superior products on the market, while keeping your voices in mind.
