About Master Ed Pereira
Master Pereira began his martial arts journey on March 27, 1987, training in Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan under Dennis Sullivan. He quickly developed a deep passion for the Korean art of self-defense and dedicated himself to continuous growth as both a martial artist and instructor.
Over the years, that passion led him to expand his training into multiple martial arts systems, giving him a broad and well-rounded background in traditional martial arts, self-defense, striking, and grappling.
Today, Master Pereira holds advanced rank and recognition across several disciplines, including:
- 7th Degree Black Belt — Tang Soo Do
- 7th Degree Black Belt — Tae Su Do
- 7th Degree Black Belt — Modern Warrior Martial Arts Union
- 7th Degree Black Belt — International Shuko Kai Martial Arts Union
- 2nd Degree Black Belt — Soo Bahk Do
- 2nd Degree Black Belt — Hapkido
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt
- Assistant Kru — Muay Thai
- Filipino Kyusho Member School
His decades of training and experience allow him to bring both traditional values and practical application into every class at Pereira Academy of Karate.
