TEDxYouth@St.Johns - Elber Reyes recently began training in mixed martial arts and was a bit intimidated as the only sixteen-year-old in a room full of adults. He enjoyed training in Jiu-Jitsu for six months prior to this experience. But he says, ā€œI’m a student first and foremost.ā€ He currently attends The Chinquapin School as a senior. He believes that being a part of a close community such as the one at Elite MMA is something that has helped him perform better academically.
