Andrew Cherouvis - Chief Instructor
Andrew Cherouvis began his martial arts training in 1973 at the
Taizen school of Self-Defense located
in Seldon, New York under Sensei Vincent Miraglia. He continued
his training under Vincent Miraglia at the Shintai School of Self-Defense
located in Farmingville, NY. In 1986, he was awarded a black belt and
in 1990 received his black belt third degree. Andrew continues to train with
his instructor when visiting home. During the summers, Mr. Cherouvis
spends his time in Co. Clare Ireland where he trains as well as teaches with
the Ennis Jui-Jitsu club. “Through my training over the years and the
principles that I have been taught, the benefits of the martial arts are
something that can’t be measured by the belt one wears around their waist. I
feel that Shintai is a very effective system of self-defense, however punching
and kicking are a very small part of what a student can truly learn and benefit
from.” Mr. Cherouvis has also trained in Judo and attended various seminars in
order to gain a better understanding of different concepts in the martial arts.
Mr. Cherouvis is currently a High School Special Education teacher. He also
practices yoga to compliment his martial arts training.
