Legacy Martial Arts Center

🙇🏻‍♂️ THANK YOU SIR AIDAN McMULLEN & SIR JACK COHEN ❤️

LMAC Pride 🦁 Master C.J. Eadicicco 사범 씨제이 here. I’d like to speak on something that is a very joyous occasion, and at the same time, a very sad day; Sir Aidan McMullen and Sir Jack Cohen, categorized as:

🥋🥋 The Ultimate Dynamic Duo
👏🏼🤩 All Students’ Biggest Supporters
💪🏼🔥 Two of the Most Hard Working Students I’ve Ever Had The Pleasure of Teaching

But most importantly:

❤️❤️ Two of the strongest heartbeats that makes what it is…

Are beginning their first semester of college! 🏡🎓

💯 Sir Aidan was selected to join Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ

💯 Sir Jack was selected to join the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI

And from the bottom of my heart: I couldn’t be more proud of them 🥳

Proud to see how they transformed from being small, shy, timid boys into Strong, Powerful, Inspiring Men 💪🏼

Proud to see them have the confidence to move away and take on this next chapter, with all of the opportunities that I know are coming their way 🎉

Proud to have been part of their incredible Martial Arts journey for as long as I did (over 12 years, and counting!)‼️

Christopher Solero did an amazing job kickstarting their journey from White Belts, which I then was able to take over and see them earn their 4th Degree Black Belts 🤯

I want to thank the McMullen Family as well as the Cohen family for entrusting me with their training, mentorship and friendship, which has been my absolutely pleasure for all of these years 🙇🏻‍♂️

Without Sir Aidan & Sir Jack, many of the opportunities that I was able to achieve in my own life and career would have never come true, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful 🙏🏼

If you’ve made it this far, I know you care for them just as I do. Please join me in wishing them the best of luck in this next chapter of their lives 🙌🏼

Every time I write this, I know that this is true, because of these two individuals: “Your legacy begins here: empowerment for life!”

Sir Aidan & Sir Jack: good luck. I love you boys! 🤝🏼

Master C.J. Eadicicco brought 30 years of training to the mat when he opened Legacy Martial Arts Center on Victory Boulevard, with classes for every age from little kids to adults. Walk in on any class and you'll see it isn't just kicks and punches. Kids leave standing straighter, adults leave sharper.

Master C.J. will tell you the Merchants Association has been a benefit from day one. Thirty years of training prepared him for the mat, not for running a business, and the VBMA gave him room to learn that part. Alongside merchants and community leaders, he now sees everything from the Tree Lighting to the parades that bring the whole boulevard out.

A special thank you to the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation and NYC Council Members David Carr and Kamillah Hanks for their continued support of our local businesses and community.
