Few other UK martial arts instructors have such an extensive and authentic martial art CV. He has trained in the martial arts for 30 years, 25 of those in the grappling arts.
Jon is one of the few people in the world to have been awarded a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Professors black belt under UFC legend Royce Gracie. In addition to this, he also holds a BJA Judo black belt.
Although anyone can teach martial arts, in order to teach a practical self-defence system like Gracie Jiu Jitsu, it helps to have some first-hand knowledge in dealing with ‘extreme’ violence. For many years Jon ensured this was the case. After a six-year stint in the Royal Marines, serving in an operational commando unit, he then spent two years “on the door” as a bouncer. For15 years, Jon has worked with young offenders in various secure units, before becoming a full time instructor in 2014.
