"Master Perry adapts his instruction to each student to maximize their natural talents and to create the best martial artist they can be"
I studied under master Joe Perry for 14 years and I have never seen a better instructor of children, teens, and adults. I have studied under other teachers and nobody compares to master Perry. He is a humble master and therefore creates humble students who know their strengths and weaknesses. Master Perry adapts his instruction to each student to maximize their natural talents and to create the best martial artist they can be. He also knows how to maximize the effectiveness of stomach crunches by telling jokes as the class tries to keep up. Crunching while laughing is extremely difficult and my core has never been stronger because of it. My kids also loved working with master Perry and it gave them something that really builds self-esteem - accomplishment. It also gave them some humility and patience. Master Perry’s good attributes rub off on his students too.”

“Sensei is AMAZING with my boys!”
Not only does Master Perry teach the core principals of Shaolin Kempo, he brilliantly incorporates fun strategies to nurture coordination and memorization of fundamental Kempos to guide them to mastery of each level. My boys look forward to karate and get really excited about their accomplishments

“My Boys Love It!”
My two boys have been learning from Master Perry for years and they love it. He is one of those teachers, who has passion and enthusiasm for what he teaches. He excels at creating a positive environment, and my kids always feel welcome and confident during class!

Master Perry is non-stop funny, kind, compassionate, very, very (did I say very?) patient.
“We are so fortunate to have such an amazing role model and mentor in our son’s life.”
Sensei Joe is a fantastic instructor who has achieved one of the highest levels in martial arts. He is non-stop funny, kind, compassionate, very, very (did I say very?) patient. My son has been going to his studio for 6 years and he absolutely loves his classes! During these years, we moved to Salt Lake County, but we believe the commute is totally worth it. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing role model and mentor in our son’s life. If anyone is looking for the best karate class in the valley, I would highly recommend this studio!
“Of the 4 different Martial arts schools I've attended, his is by far the best!”
Master Perry is an incredible teacher who works with the needs of each individual. Of the 4 different Martial arts schools I've attended, his is by far the best! His prices are very reasonable, he focuses on essential self defense skills, and enables each of his students to become the best version of themselves.
