Aliah Jones
Aliah Jones earned her 2nd degree black belt in 2018, and is the youngest daughter of Master Wayne and Adrienne Jones. She began as an assistant instructor in 2014, and has been the lead instructor for the Little Eagles program now for 2 years. Being born into a martial artists families made being an instructor for her first job an easy choice. And while she spends much of her time teaching little children, she is also a coach for the Soaring Eagles Demo Team, part of her high school debate team, an actress and singer, and volunteers at her church and in the community. Aliah's love for children, and ability to connect with them and teach them, as well as the fact that she has trained since she was a small child makes her one of the best instructors for 3-6 year olds of any background
Aiesha Jones
Ms. Aiesha Jones (pictured right), has trained in martial arts since she was just four years old! She is currently a 3rd Dan. At our academy Ms. Aiesha teaches and mentors students in every category and age group, but she specifically teaches our advanced children's group, and our beginner teen/adult class, though you may find her teaching any and every class on different days. Ms. Aiesha was our very first student, and has been able to carry the torch in times that she was most needed and relied on.
She is currently the lead coach for our Fight Club team, who brings back multiple medals from every tournament. She is also a seasoned competitor who has won gold at multiple national championship tournaments at AAU and UWTA tournaments, and has participated in and won multiple golds in many other tournaments as well. Her disciplined style of coaching and knowledge of the sport and reading other competitors has caused her team to earn their stripes at tournaments.
Ms. Aiesha works at Jesse Bethel High School in Vallejo, and loves taking advantage of every opportunity to serve her community everyday at the school and at the dojang, along with other community service projects. Mentorship is what she loves best, and working with teenagers is her passion.
