I hired Johnny for one self defense class for me and my family. We were a group of five that included my 15 year old niece. Johnny’s session was great. He made the session enjoyable, informative and practical. I organized this activity as a birthday gift for my niece because she’s at that age when she goes out with friends more. During the session we practiced different scenarios and now are better equipped to prevent an attack and break free from an attacker depending on the circumstances. I definitely recommend Johnny’s class.

Johnny is not only excited to share his decades of knowledge, but even more so to design a custom routine that works for you. He’s the perfect balance of enthusiasm and intensity that makes you want to get the best out of yourself.

Johnny conducted a self-defense class for my women-only run group. Johnny was on time, professional, was patient, explained each move well, the necessity for each move, and had 100% audience participation (about 40 ladies of varying ages between early 30s to 65+). I received nothing but good feedback from all the ladies.

I have had no experience in fighting, or self defense ever in my life. 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!!!

Johnny is amazing. He is so inspiring and patient. He is teaching me the basics but I made so much progress even just after the first session.

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.
