Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Jermaine Andre has had over 15 years in the field of security and body guarding high profile clientele and venues. This occupation placed him in constant danger, sometimes life and death. He learned quickly that different Martial Arts are effective in different situations, against different foes. This helped to enlighten him of the truth to the common argument regarding a certain Martial Art being superior to others. There was no superior Martial Art style. Only superior Martial Artists. He also learned quickly that the fighting techniques, strategies, and mentality that prevail in sport fighting, were not guaranteed to reach the same outcome in the streets. The conditions of the security field positioned Jermaine to acquire a complete understanding on the effectiveness of properly executed Awareness. He also realized that Awareness could be used by anyone to protect themselves from ALL attacks, IF they took the time to learn the simple protocols.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Jermaine gained a treasured gift through his experiences that he holds in higher regard than many of his other skills. It is his ability to read and predict the intended act of another. This ability to read others gave him the edge over his opponents in professional competition, and the jump on the bad guys during security situations. Eventually Jermaine honed this skill to a status where he could coerce his opponent, or enemy to make the movements that he wanted them to make, leading to easy outcomes in his favor. Jermaine now uses his abilities to train body guards, bouncers, men, women, youth and competitors. His instruction and guidance as Head Coach lead the Team Nelly St. Louis to win the Iron Ring CHAMPIONSHIP reality show. His Team Andre’ competitors fought in NAGA National North American Grappling Association tournament with more than ½ of the team placing. Jermaine has also placed winning fighters on Strikeforce, Bellator and more.
Today Jermaine finds his passion in transforming youth into honorable beings of courage and character. His youth Martial Arts and Mental Toughness training programs convert young bullies into considerate youth, and meek, shy kids into courageous, outgoing leaders. Andre’s programs also stake claim in the rejuvenation and redemption of many adults who credit their job promotions, relationship improvements, medical healing, stress relief, and more to his coaching and training. Today Jermaine Andre’ offers Martial Arts Fitness training and Mental Toughness Coaching, that guides participants up a path to master their true self.
