Under the guidance of Grandmaster Joel Waldron, the AMA has developed a unique martial arts style that combines martial arts, acrobatics, parkour, lightsaber dueling, self-defense, and meditation into an exhilarating and action-packed program called the Jedi Ninja Warrior. A dedicated practitioner, Quiros has spent over three years mastering this program.

"I trained rigorously for the Adult Jedi Ninja Warrior program," Quiros explains. "During my journey, I achieved the esteemed blue belt Jedi Ninja Warrior rank. This program resonates with me because it incorporates genuine martial arts techniques while imparting skills that can be utilized for self-defense or to protect others. In essence, it cultivates the qualities of a true Jedi."

Attendees can learn the ten lightsaber moves and even acquire the skills to teach their friends and family. "The Jedi Ninja Warrior program at the Academy of Martial Arts is the real deal," Quiros said. "It's not just about pretending to be a Jedi; it's about learning martial arts principles, enhancing physical fitness, and embracing the philosophy of the Jedi Order."

May the Force be with you as you embark on your journey to become a Jedi warrior!
