Jamie Sparling: Instructor
The road to most of the positive experiences in my life have come from my martial arts training. As a young person I was overweight and asthmatic, I disliked who I was and wouldn’t try new things. When I started Kali with my first Guro I had no idea how much my life was about to change. I enjoyed the training, lost weight and became more comfortable with who I was. That lead me to try acting, stand up comedy, and so many other things.
Wherever you are in your life, Affinity Martial Arts and I will meet you where you are and lead you towards your goals, whether you know what they are or not………take the first step..the possibilities are Limitless.
