Joey Perry's
Martial Arts
Academy
Chief Instructor: Joey Perry, 5th Dan
 Instructor
At the age of 8 years old, Joey
Perry had to make a decision . Violin Lessons or TaeKwonDo
lessons . His family couldn't afford both so Joey chose
TaeKwonDo. 20 years later Mr. Perry is the proud owner of two of
the largest and most successful martial arts schools in the
state of Arkansas. Mr. Perry started his training under Mr. Jack
Bell in Jonesboro, Arkansas at a local gymnastics club. Soon
after, Mr. Billy Madison took over the program and was Mr.
Perry's instructor to first degree black belt. Over the next few
years Mr. Perry had the opportunity to be under the instruction
of Master Robert Sublett and Mike and Darryl Turner in Northeast
Arkansas.
At the age of 17 fresh out of high school, Joey purchased the
NTFA academy in Newport. With only 7 active students Mr. Perry
went to work hard and quickly built the studio up to 50 active
students within 18 months. Two years later he opened a location
in his home town of Jonesboro. Mr. Perry spent the next few
years focusing on teaching while training and competing locally
in hopes of having a valid shot at competing on the National
circuit. After 12 Arkansas State Championships he decided to
focus almost solely on the National circuit. By the year 2000
Mr. Perry had been asked to join Master JOHN CHUNG's "Team
Sidekick" National team. The following year would be
outstanding! Mr. Perry finished the year ranked # 3 in the World
in Musical Forms by NASKA as well as # 3 in Traditional weapons
and # 5 in Middleweight point sparring.
Soon after Mr. Perry decided it was time to focus on his career
and family. In 2001 Mr. Perry married his Beautiful wife Beth
and went full time 'professional' with his Jonesboro academy.
The Jonesboro location keeps an active count of students well
over the 200 mark. Due to his success in school operations and
active involvement in cutting edge knowledge Mr. Perry was
promoted by NAPMA, the leading martial arts business
organization to be the Arkansas NSSN director. Mr. Perry is
currently a Fifth degree Black Belt and happily serves as the
NTFA President and Training Director. Mr. Perry has proudly
trained under many nationally recognized Instructors such as
Mike Chat, Royce Gracie, Bill Clark, Ernie Reyes, Grand Master
Mike Brown. Mr. Perry is also proud of his 2 year old daughter
Ella Tate is convinced that she will one day lead the
organization into the future.
