Experienced tutor in Martial arts in Passaic, Damian offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I met Damian in the dojo at ten years old, he has been a positive role model in my awkward teen years, growing up as an only child he became my “older brother”. If I weren’t in Florida I’d enroll my kids to learn from him in a heartbeat. It fills my heart with joy that he found the spark again to have such a positive influence on the next generation. OSU!

I will always be thankful that I had the honor to call Damian not only my karate teacher but also my friend.
He insipres his students to push their limits.

I highly recommend Damian Vargas. He made a huge difference and impact in my daughters life. He is now 28 years old and still has a passion for Martial arts. She developed discipline, Honor and self confidence which she continues to apply in her daily life. Damian was an amazing teacher and mentor.
I can’t say enough good things about him and his character. You will be lucky and blessed to have him as your teacher and mentor. He has my support 100%. He will make an incredible difference in your children’s lives I guarantee.
Damian Vargas, Thank you for being there for our Daughter as her Sempei. We will never forget you!!!!

My brothers and I were students of Damian many years ago. Like others have said you're in great hands if he is your teacher. I remember him being stern when he needed to be because he had the utmost respect for the art but also very approachable and fun. He was easily our favorite instructor. Looking back that is what I remember the most, his actions outside of the dojo. His willingness to talk to his students about things they're interested in, especially if it's something he's interested in as well. I say this because a simple maybe 5-10 minute conversation we had outside of class took me down a path that changed my life forever.
So yes, you'll be getting a great karate instructor but you'll be getting a mentor as well.

My experience with Damian Vargas started almost 30 years ago.
He is a wonderful, supportive teacher, and pours his heart into students. He cares deeply about each of the students in his school and takes exceptional pride in their progress.
He truly cares about his students and HOW they learn karate, not just the physical motions, but understanding the mental parts of the practice. His teaching style allows for ease of learning even of the most difficult of styles or techniques. He instills confidence in each of students, reinforcing that you can master any technique if you are willing to dedicate yourself to it.
His own dedication to the craft, to his students, and to his school make him the most excellent of karate practitioners. I am honored to remain one of his friends.
