Samira Patel

Samira is a bright, caring, and creative instructor who specializes in engaging the youngest martial artists. A former Rising Warrior herself, Samira returned to the dojo as an assistant coach after earning her black belt at age 14. Now in her early 20s, she blends personal experience with professional training in child development to create joyful, structured, and growth-oriented classes.

Samira has a remarkable ability to connect with children — whether calming first-day jitters or celebrating small wins with big energy. She helps Coach Riley lead the Little Legends and Rising Warriors programs, often serving as the “bridge” between instructors and families. She also plays a key role in the school’s community outreach and seasonal camps. When she’s not in the dojo, Samira is studying education at university and volunteers with children’s literacy programs.
