Hello, I am Instructor Ari. I am a martial artist who loves to learn and teach. I am a black belt. I didn’t just earn a black belt; I became a black belt. I have formal training as well as training in many other martial arts and other forms of fitness. I have a passion for life, loving people and Jesus. Growing up in a constant state of fight or flight, experiencing some of life's most intense and unpleasant situations. Martial arts changed the way I handle hard situations with skills like adrenal stress response, among others. Striving to help others learn how to thrive under whatever life throws their way. I thrive on teaching people life skills to defend and honor themselves. To inspire people to live strong and fearless lives, as well to love and help people in any way I can through Christ. I have found a life worth living, in Christ and the martial arts. I am offering more than a program; it’s a way of life for the pursuit to love others in the identity God has given me. I have the privilege to share my gifts with my world. I am extremely grateful to help people grow and thrive.
