YMAA JHB - Instructor

Peri Zourides

Peri started his martial arts training at a young age engaging with Karate & Judo until his mid teens. In 2000 he joined Yangs Martial Arts Association which at that time was based in the Field & Study Centre in Parkmore. Initially starting with Shaolin, a few years later he began his Tai Chi training which has ultimately improved his Shoalin & Sparring. Since then he has progressed to become the highest ranked Shaolin member in the Johannesburg school, taking over as Head Instructor in 2007. Towards the end of 2007 he managed to assist in moving the school to it’s current location & permanent home still within the Parkmore area.

In August 2008 Peri started Kids Kung Fu (YMAA Tiger Club) classes at the school, which is aimed at kids aged 5 – 12 years old.

Peri works as qualified personal trainer (HFPA Exercise Science) & works out of a private gym in Lonehill, specialising in weight loss, strength training, body conditioning & endurance training. He also works as a sports coach, coaching football & basketball. He is available for private sessions outside of the gym.
