Senior Master Prazer began his martial arts training in 1991 and started assisting with classes as a 14-year-old Yellow Belt in Pensacola, FL. He would assist with classes every day and take his own class at the end of each evening. Within a year, he was teaching classes as a Blue Belt.
Sr. Master Prazer grew up facing many challenges. He experienced poverty, abuse, and neglect during his childhood. Being small in size, he was often bullied, which impacted his self-esteem and confidence. Martial Arts, however, brought about a significant transformation, helping him build confidence—a quality that’s evident to anyone who meets him today. As he teaches his students, “Size doesn’t matter when you know what you are doing.”
He believes his greatest success, made possible by this newfound confidence, was asking his future wife out to dinner. This memorable moment happened after a full day of judging a tournament in 2003. Later that year, he publicly proposed to her at a National Tournament.
Today, Sr. Master Prazer is a dedicated family man with an incredible wife, Master Gena Prazer, a 6th Degree Black Belt and the studio's Owner and Chief Instructor. Together, they have two amazing children, a son and a daughter.
Mrs. Master Prazer began her martial arts training at 14 years old in Savannah, GA. She began working for her Instructor very early in her training. Mrs. Master is an amazing Instructor.
