Now thanks to Johnny I know so moves to protect myself from an attack I'm still learning and going strong and can't wait to go full capability!! I will continue working with him and grow and be strong 💪 not just physically, but also mentally🧠!! Thanks Johnny!!!

Had my 1st session with Johnny the other day and I’m hooked! So excited to learn more and feel confident in my abilities. Johnny is a great coach, takes his time to teach every movement, patience , pushes you , and had lots of fun!

Johnny is awesome! I hired him to train my wife in self defense. I've been doing martial arts for years and have never managed to convince my wife to do it with me. It always intimidated her. But within a few lessons with Johnny she is now hooked. Johnny is very experienced working with women and with people without any background in martial arts. Now, a month into her working with Johnny, she loves every minute of it. I can see her improvement, both physically and psychologically and I have never seen her so motivated to workout. I highly recommend Johnny.

Private Self Defense Lessons
I’ve never done any type of sport or activity that involved coordination. So when I first started with Johnny, we were really starting from scratch. Six sessions later, I’ve learned how to claim my space, defend myself against various knife attacks and use my upper and lower body as weapons. He gives you feedback when you’re doing well, need to improve on a technique, or (if you’re like me) thinking too much. I have a new found sense of self confidence and am addicted to my training. Invest in yourself and train with Johnny. You won’t regret it.
