Reviews of professor Arthur Chivichyan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I didn't receive a grade because I am auditing this class; but MUSIC (CHECK),LEARNING HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CREEPS(DOUBLE CHECK), HIM (TRIPLE CHECK). If your on the fence between 1 unit courses, choose this course! In my three years at SC, this is the class I looked forward to going the most! I will be taking Self Defense B for 1 unit.

Truly one of the most caring professors I've ever had. He goes out of his way to make sure his students are doing well not only in class but outside of class. His class is focused on making sure the student knows how to defend themselves in times of danger, but he also gives inspirational advice in terms of just living a more fulfilling life.

Leaving a review so others who check up on faculty can see during covid times. Professor Chivichyan is one of the best! Course is graded based on weekly hw, mid term and final presentations. He is very knowledgeable, easy going and easy to communicate with. He helps you understand the importance of the content shared. Loved the course!

Super fun; very intelligent professor, who is very knowledgeable about a lot of topics, business, careers and more. His class is empowering, detailed, yet very enjoyable. Hope he can teach self defense B, Or other classes in the program! One of the coolest aspects besides his style is the guests he brings in. From pro fighters to actors/musicians.

I enjoyed this class so very much! Professor Chivichyan is a gem, and I am so glad he is part of the Trojan family. Our course was cut in half due to Covid but our online courses were amazing. He was really able to adapt to the online platforms , and the content shared was very helpful and educational. He is smart, an amazing leader and coach.

Great! Semester was cut short due to COVID so instruction pretty much entirely stopped, but the half semester alone was fabulous in establishing a baseline for self defense. Highly recommend.

Have had some time to reflect on all of my courses after graduation, and this course was one of my favs! ADVICE- Take your final paper seriously, he does grade it differently from the first (stricter). Otherwise, highly recommended, and a vote of a chili pepper to Mr. Chivichyan!

Took the class knowing that he is the son of the legendary Gokor Chivichyan. Amazing class, with excellent guidance. I was so thrilled to meet his father who is such a inspiration for many martial artists. They say an apple does not fall far from the tree; this applies to Professor Arthur. Great class, attendance is mandatory.
