“Sifu John Thompson is one of the rare individuals that I’ve seen and trained with over the years who can actually do Jeet Kune Do and make it work. He has produced some of the toughest Black Belts I have ever seen in my 30 plus years in martial arts!” – W. Hock Hochheim – Founder/ Grandmaster Scientific Fighting Congress / Force Necessary
“Having been a jail guard for 8 years at a Texas Sheriff’s Office I thought I was pretty tough and had seen it all. I went to train with Sifu John and I felt like a complete novice. I was humbled by his skill and knowledge. He is Hardcore the real deal.” –
M. Edwards, Prison Guard Longview, TX
“I had heard about this guy teaching JKD and Kempo JuJitsu in Frankfort. I am 6 foot 5”, I met this average sized guy and told him “Im a Prison Guard at Joliet State Prison, What can You teach Me? He said “Grab Me”. Next think I knew I was on the floor looking at the ceiling and I was writhing in pain. This happened 3 more times before I asked “where do I sign up”? Never judge a book by its cover. I use the skills and techniques I learned from Sifu John on a daily basis. –
D. Gibbons, Prison Guard Joliet State Prison, IL
I was out with John one night in Manila watching a band perform at a local bar, when a large 6 foot 4 Foreigner came in and started punching and knocked out 2 or 3 bouncers at the place for no reason. He then grabbed 2 beer bottles and tried to smash them together, and he was going nuts swinging at everyone in the place. John walked up to the guy, disarmed him and when the guy tried to punch him, John sent him flying across the room smashing into tables and chairs on his face. At that point all the bouncers in the place jumped on the guy at once and escorted him out. It was a real life Steven Seagal moment as everyone cheered. –
