Brian Johns
Modern Arnis Coach
With over 35 years of martial arts experience, including Kung Fu, Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do, Vee Jiu-Jitsu, Kenpo Karate, and Modern Arnis, I welcome students from Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa!
For the last 15 years, I have been teaching Modern Arnis and self-defence. I am passionate about helping others overcome barriers, obstacles, and insecurities. In addition to teaching Modern Arnis, I have taught women’s self-defence at UOIT/Durham College in Oshawa. I have also taught self-defence courses for developmentally delayed adults at the Abilities Centre in Whitby.
My Modern Arnis classes are fun, safe, and unique! You will learn how to go with the flow in any self-defence situation.
What’s more fun than playing with sticks and knives? Nothing!
