Description of STICK FIGHTING GURU John Harvey

KARATE TO KALI STICK FIGHTING GURU John Harvey
Explore the Inspiring Martial Arts Journey of John Harvey


In our
latest podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with John
Harvey, a martial artist whose journey is nothing short of inspiring.
From a chance encounter with a karate academy in King's Cross, London,
to becoming a world champion in stick fighting, John's story is one of
dedication, evolution, and passion for martial arts.


In this episode, John Harvey talks to Andrew Staton at the Doncaster UK
Martial Arts Show.


John's journey began many years ago when he
stumbled upon a karate academy during a lunch hour. Intrigued, he
decided to give it a try. This decision led him to train under Major
Suzuki and meet influential figures like Bob Breen. Through rigorous
training and commitment, John quickly progressed in Wado-Ryu Karate, a
traditional and fast-paced style that laid the foundation for his
martial arts career.


The turning point in John's journey came
when he attended a seminar by Dan Inosanto, a renowned martial artist
known for his versatility and deep knowledge. The seminar introduced
John to a whole new world of martial arts, including stick fighting,
takedowns, and Jeet Kune Do (JKD). This experience was life-changing and
broadened his perspective on what martial arts could offer.


John's
passion for stick fighting grew, leading him to compete in world
championships and eventually become a world champion. His dedication
didn't stop there; he continued to teach and inspire others, helping his
students achieve their own martial arts goals. John emphasised the
importance of understanding the power of weapons like knives and sticks,
teaching young people to respect them and avoid using them
irresponsibly.


Today, John is part of the World Sport Arnis
organisation, where he continues to promote and teach martial arts. The
organisation has hosted several championships, including the upcoming
World Sport Arnis World Championships in Luton. These events not only
showcase the skills of martial artists but also promote the art to a
broader audience.


John's story is a testament to the
transformative power of martial arts. It teaches discipline, respect,
and the importance of continuous learning. Whether you're a seasoned
martial artist or someone considering taking up martial arts, John's
journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
