Dynamic Martial Arts/Dynamic Wushu

Dynamic Wushu is the nick name for Dynamic Martial Arts, DMA for short. DMA has trained many fine athletes, 3 of whom began international competition this year.

Sifu Perez's approach to training is very clear. His students are expected to show good foundation in everything they do. Where some schools will promote students to black belt left and right, Sifu Perez has only promoted 6 in over 20 year of teaching. Only those students who dedicate themselves and really keep a good work ethic will make it to Black Sash.

DMA not only trains up and coming athletes, they also perform in many cultural events in the Phoenix area. Their Lion Dances and flexibility demonstrations are a hit with young and old alike. Dynamic Wushu even performed at the home opening game for the San Antonio Spurs in 2004. Check the action at here!

Our younger students had the opportunity to perform at the Phoenix sneak preview of Kung Fu Panda. The students did a brief performance up by the stage then were able to view the preview. All of them had a great time.

Students at Dynamic Martial Arts kicked off the summer working hard at Mr. Perez's weeklong wushu camp.

Participants were treated to a variety of guest instructors and learned many new skills. Students demonstrated their new skills at a closing show.

The week went by quickly and will be remembered by all.

Training for and competing in travel tournaments can take a a considerable amount of time and funding. Many of our competitors are teenagers who receive little or no financial support. DMA Boosters is our way of helping support the travel and training costs for these students. 100% of the income earned from our lens and from our CafePress store goes to help these students out. Please check out our store and help a student reach their goal.
