I am Khachatur Khachatryan, former President of Grand Boxing Management. I have known Ken Arutunyan since 2019. Ken is a very good manager and a good trainer, we promoted professional boxers together, our boxers box in Europe and partly in America. I followed one professional boxer who was promoted by Karen and Nshan Munchyan and this boxer Ferdinand Qerobyan, his managers did a great job and the boxer had every chance to become a world champion. In the end, I will add that Ken is not only a good manager and a good coach, he is a good friend and family man.

I have known Ken and his students for many, many years and I see the drive and sportsmanship involved in his teaching. He understands and exploits each students strong points so that they not only know their fundamentals of boxing but also use their advantages to develop their own style. This allows them to excel much quicker than any other sporting gym out there. Go Team ISU!

I have personally known Ken for over 2 decades now and his leadership and sportsmanship are top-notch. Ken’s encouragement and constant motivation is unmatched.
The ISU Team inspires to be excellent in everything you do and brings out the best in you

I’ve been in the sport of boxing for the past 45 years. I was an amateur Boxer and on the U.S Marine Boxing team and a professional Boxer. I’m the President and founder of Kid Gloves Boxing Foundation and the owner of Scraptime Promotions. Scraptime Promotions has had five successful professional boxing shows and two amateur MMA shows in Simi Valley, CA. I’ve trained many fighters. Ken is an exceptional coach and promoter. I took one of my students to compete in the first ever Draka Championship competition for the Russian Championship which was represented and brought together by Ken. We got so excited to hear about DRAKA coming to California. I’m wishing we could bring back DRAKA to the USA. What an epic and extraordinary event!

I myself never had any formal training from a coach. My father taught me how to box as a youth and it was something that was always interesting to me. Yet it never seemed accessible, the gyms in my area never had a variety of sports and they were mostly run by coaches who wanted students to stay students instead of graduating. That was until I found ISU. It was something I heard of by word of mouth by many in my community; even as a jew raised in an orthodox community. When I started training with Ken I was instantly humbled by the truth of what it really takes to be a fighter. He trained me privately and in a class setting for only a year and a half before I was able to go toe to toe with professional fighters who wanted to teach me instead of break me. If you come to ISU it’s because you’re ready to transform into the most confident version of yourself and create the discipline your life needs. There’s no way around it, if you can get through a session you can definitely get through your day. You’ll have coaches who will build you and teach you to stay injury free. ISU has helped the youth get off the streets, quit drugs, smoking, provide lodging, and build Champions. I hope you understand the importance of discipline in your own life and believe how much it can help others.
