Brandon White

Instructor

Martial arts grades:
Kickboxing - 2nd Degree Black Belt

Mr. White started training with Premier in 2011 when he was just 6 years old in our Dragon Ranger program. His parents wanted him to learn self defense skills as well as developing his confidence and discipline. Both his mum and younger brother joined Premier after seeing the structure and positive effects it had with him – seeking the same for themselves. He achieved his black belt in 2016 and continued to grade for his 2nd Dan in 2019. He continues to train hard towards his next grade and loves training now just as much as he did when he first started. His favorite part of being on the instructor team at Premier is that he can impart his knowledge of kickboxing onto our students, but especially on sparring as he knows how it doesn’t just work in the classroom, but that it can help students to defend themselves out in the real world – and he loves the confidence that he can help students find in themselves through his coaching. As well as his love for kickboxing, he also looks to expand his knowledge of martial arts and start training jiu jitsu with Premier as well, with the hope of one day becoming a BJJ coach alongside being a kickboxing instructor.

Mr. Esprit has been training Premier Kickboxing - South Harrow since it first opened. He initially joined to improve his fitness and develop a new skill. He had no previous experience before joining, but after his first class he was hooked. He thoroughly enjoyed the positive energy that the class had and could see himself becoming apart of it. He had always been involved in some form of fitness/exercise but after becoming bored with monotonous workouts in the gym – turned to kickboxing in seek of a group class exercise, where he could develop his fitness goals alongside building new lifelong friendships. He threw himself right into the sport taking part in countless competitions such as MASSIF and local interclubs, as well as visiting Thailand to train in Phucket to develop his skills. After achieving his black belt in December 2014 He joined part of the instructor team to help around the academy as well as assist in kids classes and behind reception. He hopes that the skills that he has developed over the years of training, he will be able to pass down to the younger generation of Premier Students, and looks forward to seeing you on the mat.
