Ian has been training me and my son for years now, keeping every session engaging.
He combines his tremendous knowledge with an ability to push you past your limits. I highly recommend Ian if you're serious about your fitness journey.Ian doesn’t just teach martial arts — he teaches self-esteem and self-confidence that will stay with you for life.
I’ve trained with Ian for ten years, and in that time, I’ve seen how deeply he cares about each student’s growth. His approach is well-balanced — blending mental fortitude, meditation, and breathwork with highly practical Hapkido skills. There are no flashy, movie-style kicks here; Ian focuses on close-contact combat techniques that could truly save your life.
What makes Ian exceptional is his ability to create a safe, supportive environment while still challenging you to push beyond your limits. He pays attention to the needs of each individual, meeting you exactly where you are, and guiding you forward with both care and honesty. His teaching style builds self-esteem and confidence like no other, empowering you not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
If you’re ready to step into your personal power, train with Ian. You’ll leave his classes stronger, more confident, and more prepared — not just for self-defense, but for life.I have been training with Ian for the last 2 years and be has helped excel my athletic ability to a another level. The training with Coach Ian is extremely personalized and has helped improve my game on the pitch all around. I have personally done both 1 on 1 and group sessions with Ian over the 2 years and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking a way to get active, build confidence, or improve their athletic ability. Coach Ian always goes above and beyond his way to look for ways to help improve his students, not only does he help support during the session, he is always providing advice to improve at home. I would highly recommend Coach Ian to anyone.
I met Ian through someone I trust who had great results training with him. I started training with Ian to learn self defense which is so important as a woman. Ian teaches a wide variety of techniques including evasion, weapons training, and physical and environmental awareness and adaptation to the current situation. He has a knack of simplifying training techniques as he can tell if you’re grasping the lesson or not. Ian’s pricing is fair for the wealth of knowledge he offers his students. He is a principled man and brings integrity and years of experience to his training.
Ian brings 40 years of experience to the fitness and martial arts world. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all aspects of training, mind, body and spirit. His understanding of nutrition is second to none. I highly recommend Ian (TEACHER) to be your personal trainer and life coach. FIVE STARS all the way!!!
Ian is extremely knowledgeable, very professional. And best trainer I ever had.
Ian is straight forward teacher with a tone of respect towards his students. He treats everyone equally doesn’t matter what belt you are. His classes brings alot of great spiritual blessings and great discipline. I have known Ian since a little biy and have been with Ian a very long time where he is family to me just not a teacher. I bring myself to his dojo and let him do what is best for me, therefore I have full trust in Ian!!
I first met Ian in September of 2023 when I sought a strength training coach. I had started lifting weights at the age of 19 and just did so without any training or coaching. 42 years later I decided maybe I would benefit from personal coaching.
Ian is great. Not only did I lose weight and gain muscle. My technique, core strength, knowledge, balance, coordination, and flexibility all improved greatly!
Then I discovered that Ian also has a martial arts school. I had also started training in martial arts at 19. I started taking lessons with him in Hapkido and kickboxing. I found Hapkido was unlike any martial art I had ever trained in before. I am able to say with confidence from a class setting that Ian is able to teach people with different learning styles. That is a rare talent.
Ian has expert knowledge in strength training, martial arts, nutrition, stretching, and meditation. AND he is able to teach and coach his students in all of those areas.
He is also personable, a man with integrity, and cares about the progress of his students.
I highly recommend him!I've been training with Ian for over 20 years. He is an absolute amazing trainer. He targets your individual goals, which means he doesn't use the same training style with all his clients. His programs are targeted for each individual only.
Not only has he lead me to have an athletic physic, but he also explains each individual exercise and the purpose of it. You learn a lot from him. All his clients have remained with him long term for a reason.....his knowledge, a trainer that's there to meet your goals and push you along the way.
I'm grateful to have been training with him for years, not only in weight training but also martial arts. Thank you for everything you do Ian.See more recommendations
