LEADERSHIP TEAM

One of the goals of Trinity Martial Arts is to raise up the leaders of tomorrow. That is why you will find many students at our school assisting with the training of younger, lower rank students during class. These students are part of our leadership team, taking on the role of junior instructors. They not only train but attend professional development as well, where they continue to grow their skills as martial artists, teachers, students, and individuals.
