I believe Martial Arts as a sport develops the strongest mindset in understanding the value of persistence. In 2006, I began training at Perrins Martial Arts and since has become an influential part of my life on many levels. Martial Arts motivates me to continuously strive in remaining disciplined to my self-improvement. Perrins Martial Arts has given me the best opportunity to learn from amazing instructors through the Karate, Cardio, Jujitsu and Kickboxing Programs.
