  • HUGE fan of Bruce Lee
  • Recently certified as an Apprentice Instructor by the Ottawa Jeet Kune Do International Instructor Team – under Sifu Darryl D’Amico (student of Jerry Poteet; 1st generation Bruce Lee student)
  • Always wanted to pursue studies in Wing Chun, but didn’t have time or access to authentic Wing Chun teachers, until I met Sifu John.
  • His gold standard in Wing Chun also transcends to how he lives his life and treats those around him.
  • Truly grateful to obtain my black sash in JAMAS under Sifu John’s tutelage.
  • The system uses Wing Chun as its foundation and adds elements from Boxing and Karate; both of which Sifu John is more than qualified to teach.
  • Occasional guest instructors (e.g., Krav Maga, Shotokan, cane self-defense, Muay Thai, and even yoga) only adds to our base and growth.
  • Explored personal interests in Hatha Yoga, Chen Taiji (Tai Chi), kickboxing, and Muay Thai.
  • Participated in multiple Spartan Races, Ottawa’s 10K run, and Ottawa City Chase. If there’s a challenge to overcome (and no one gets hurt), sign me up!
