INSTRUCTORS
JAKE ERLING
5TH DEGREE BLACK BELT
With over 40 years of experience in Martial Arts, I’ve learned that it is far more than a sport—it’s a way of life. Living with Cystic Fibrosis has brought its own set of challenges, and like many people, I’ve faced struggles that could easily wear me down. But finding the right outlet has been essential to staying balanced, strong, and resilient. For me, Martial Arts has been that outlet, and it can be the same for you.
MARIELA AJPOP
3RD DEGREE BLACK BELT
Ms. Mariela has been training in martial arts under Mr. Jake and The Art MMA for 16 years. She is currently pursuing her law degree in immigration law and is deeply passionate about social justice and community advocacy. Proud of her Minnesotan and Guatemalan heritage, she brings dedication and cultural pride to everything she does. As a third-degree black belt, her favorite aspects of MMA are kickboxing and forms.
