John has always been one of the ‘Original’ Krav Maga Trainers in the US. I’ve been with Krav Maga a long time and in the Martial Arts for over 30 years and I can tell you that not only is he one of the absolute best instructors (for anything, not just MA) that I’ve ever come across, he has also been MORE than instrumental, downright CRUCIAL, in the ongoing development and growth of Krav Maga as a system. John continues to think through self defense problems and techniques like very few people can, then present that in a manner that anyone can learn, enjoy, and understand. Krav Maga in the US is what it is today largely in part because of John’s efforts. John has been a mentor, instructor, and friend for nearly 10 years now and we will continue to look to him for guidance and training when it comes to Self Defense.
