BIOGRAPHY
Mr. Alec Bejanian started with Bejanian Martial Arts at the age of two years old and is the son of Master Varouj Bejanian. Mr. Alec has a strong passion for teaching. He says that he loves how martial arts can be used as a tool to improve the students’ performance, build their confidence, and propel their self-esteem.
In class, Mr. Alec loves sparking conversations about setting goals and achieving them. In accordance, he states “Training in martial arts made [him] realize that the possibilities of growth are limitless in any endeavor. There is no such thing as perfection. Achievements come to those who work hard.”
Mr. Alec explains that “While teaching, an example of a memorable experience [he has] is when [he] sees [his] students are able to learn a complicated technique. This makes [him] feel content because [he] knows that the thought process they applied to learning this challenging technique can be applied to any other goal in their life. As martial arts instructors, we are not just teaching techniques, we are teaching life skills that include problem-solving and perseverance. These experiences also help [him] grow as an individual because having students who listen to [his] advice helps motivate [him] to live [his] life by a higher standard.”
Mr. Alec graduated from UCLA in 2023 Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Psychology and plans on pursuing law school. Based on his academic endeavors and pursuits, Mr. Alec states “Students should always put the goal of learning first and over grades. The reason why one goes to school should never be forgotten which is the goal of learning. When one just goes to school for grades, the fulfilling aspect of academia gets lost.”
Mr. Alec currently is a Head Instructor at both Bejanian Martial Arts, Glendale and Bejanian Martial Arts, North Hollywood. His passions and interests include, martial arts, film, and reading.
