Andrew Perkins
Andrew Perkins has a very fresh and innovative approach to Jiu Jitsu that focuses on controlling your opponent through the use of powerful, unorthodox no-gi grips. His game is very applicable to both no-gi Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts competition and he has trained many successful MMA and Jiu Jitsu competitors. He has been training since 2003 and has been an instructor at Boston University's Mixed Martial Arts Club as well as Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts in Boston. With a consummate attention to technical detail, Andrew's classes focus on teaching a strategy from a position rather than isolated movements. Students will drill the strategy for memory and then work on applying the technique through increasing resistance as to gain the sensitivity necessary to apply the technique in a competition setting. Andrew's dedication to teaching extends outside of the gym as well, as he teaches History and Philosophy at Lynnwood High School.
