Ashley Perrin

Ash holds a 2nd Dan black belt in Karate-Do. He has been practicing since he was 13 years old, with over 14 years of experience, primarily focusing on the Gōjū-ryū and Shotokan styles of karate.

He recently began his journey as an assistant instructor and is passionate about sharing the benefits of karate, which has not only improved his fitness but also boosted his confidence.

His favourite kata is Heiku, meaning Black Tiger. This kata originates from the Ryuei-ryu style of karate, a style he is not familiar with, making it a unique and interesting challenge. Heiku stands out for its distinctive techniques and represents an opportunity to explore elements beyond the styles he primarily trains in.
