AV Kung Fu & Fitness opened in 2016 under the leadership of Victor Vazquez and Salvador Felix. Instructor Victor Vazquez is a Navy veteran who has practiced Kung Fu San Soo since 1998 under Master Frank Large and later under Salvador Felix. The program offers a one week free trial and states there are no contracts, no registration fees, no enrollment fees, and no testing fees.

The school’s mission statement says it focuses on improving social skills through working together toward shared goals, learning to deal with conflict, and having compassion for others. The mission statement also says students are taught self-discipline, attention to detail, responsibility, self-reliance, and independence, and that the school aims to relieve stress through a fun, safe, and challenging workout. According to the mission statement, practicing and improving skills is described as improving self-image and confidence, and training in kung fu is described as improving the ability to perform self-defense techniques when there is a real threat. The school holds discussions about gratitude, humility, respect, integrity, and discipline, and states that its number one goal while training is safety and treating one another with the utmost respect, with a policy that no one is above anyone and that disrespect in any form is not tolerated.

Victor Vazquez states that he feels fortunate and humbled to serve his community by teaching self defense classes and looks forward to serving the community for years to come. One testimonial from Bruce Frank describes the instruction as excellent Kung Fu San Soo with effective training that builds self confidence while learning self defense and having fun. Another testimonial from Gabriela Rivas says the instructors are very friendly and caring, that their energy is “amazing,” and that kids have fun while learning self defense and working out. A testimonial from Rebecca Bakman says Felix taught both her and her children, describes Felix and his family as awesome and welcoming, and states that the classes were helpful for self defense and getting into the best shape she had ever been in, and that her kids enjoyed their time and still speak of him often.
