Erin Smith
Boston Instructor
Erin has been a martial artist since 2011. She has competed internationally representing Team USA since 2017 and is a four-time world champion. Although her main martial art and competitive discipline of choice is karate, she enjoys cross-training regularly in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing. In 2020, she became co-owner of her childhood dojo, One Step Beyond Martial Arts in Boston. She currently holds the rank of second-degree black belt (Nidan) in American Combat Karate. Erin feels strongly that martial arts has changed her life for the better, on and off the mat, and looks forward to empowering more students to find their confidence through martial arts and self-defense with StandStrong.
