PETER SMITH
INSTRUCTOR

Peter has always been interested in martial arts from a young age, from being inspired by Bruce Lee movies. It took a long time for Peter to pluck up the courage to attend a class. It was four years ago when he was approached by his instructor.

Peter went to a free trial session where he was made to feel very welcome by the other students and instructors. After the first session, he was hooked and this was something that he had never seen before, the system was intriguing and thought provoking.

After a years of training and guidance his instructors, Peter was able to pass his training to become an instructor, since then Peter has supported Evolution Martial Arts Academy, running classes and helping to grow the school into a positive place to be for our students, where the health and wellbeing of each of our students is at the forefront.  Peter believes that Evolution Academy is for any walks of life whether you have had years of experience within martial arts or as a beginner.

This program has helped Peter grew with confidence in the knowledge that he would be able to defend himself in most situations that he may had to encounter in. He has become a lot fitter during his time in Evolution Academy. The classes we teach, helps our students to have a healthier and more active lifestyle.
