Heijoshin Dojo Instructors

Sensei Robert Perez

Robert Perez has been a dedicated Martial Arts practitioner for 30 years, with more than 25 years experience as an instructor. He began training in 1991 in the martial art of American Ninjutsu, and is still an active student with a 5th degree black belt. He is also training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and currently holds a 1st degree black belt in that Style. Additionally Sensei Perez holds a 1st degree black belt in Kokusai Ju Jutsu, a classical Japanese Martial Art and is also training in boxing. Sensei Perez’s philosophy is that regardless of one’s rank, there is always more to be learned, and he continues to seek out new martial arts knowledge to share with his students.

Sensei Perez’s dedication as a Martial Arts Instructor led him to opening up the Heijoshin Dojo in August of 1995, which is located at 271 W. Main St. in Bay Shore. Both the students of the school as well as their teacher personify "Heijoshin", which roughly translates as "a constant stable state" in Japanese. Sensei Perez helps both children and adults to get fit, gain confidence, develop discipline, self-esteem, and improve their lives by teaching physical conditioning, mental awareness, and everyday street‑practical self‑defense.
