Your guide, John McKean
John has taught martial arts professionally since 1994 and opened the Paisley academy in 2007. His work brings together martial arts, coaching and personal transformation.
Here, you can return to his teaching, practise deliberately and reflect in your own time. This is self-study; individual coaching is available separately.
