Wednesday will be Master Ari Schwartzman’s last day at PPMA as he is leaving for summer camp, then on to Georgia Institute of Technology.
This extraordinary young man started his PPMA journey at age 6, when he famously cried through his entire first class. 12 years later he has become exceptionally accomplished not only in martial arts, but academically, musically, and just about everything else he set out to do. As an instructor here Ari has embodied the high standards and ideals I teach and has been a towering role model and inspiration for hundreds of kids and a huge part of Personal Power Martial Arts’ success. Good luck Ari! I am proud and grateful to have been your mentor and friend throughout this journey. See less
