Nancy KliotAttorney at Law

I have had the privilege to know Shihan Jim Chillemi for over 18 years and his words, guidance and mentorship have literally changed my life. His guidance helped me to convert the energy from my uncertainty and fears toward clarity, focus and positive goals.

Steve StraussReal Estate Developer

"For over 13 years, Jim has served as mentor and leader to me and countless others. His message of taking responsibility for yourself and engaging in constant self-assessment and self-improvement has changed my life and the lives of many others. Under the guidance of Jim’s sage words, I found the motivation to persevere in karate well beyond reaching the initial goals that I set. More importantly though, Jim’s message, always delivered with charisma and compassion, has motivated me to work harder and more effectively at work and in my family and personal life. I highly commend Jim to anyone who might need a push in the right direction."

Joseph DeMatteo Attorney at Law

“Every day I implement Jim’s lessons - they are life tools. He taught me to distinguish the aspects in life that I can control from those I cannot. Jim taught me that life becomes so much more simple and powerful when we assume responsibility for the way we chose to interact with our given circumstances."
