Hi. My name's Arllington. I'm from Brazil.

I had training Karate for some years in a school next to my house. But, my job and college were taking all my time. Searching online training methods, I found sensei John and his school of karate. Then, I began my thaning with his method. It is awesome. Although my English is not good, I can understand every class because sensei John explains and shows techniques and movements clearly. The pedagogy adopted by the sensei is very good too. Classes and contens are systematically and progressively prepared and sensei always gives online support.

I definetly recomend!

Sensei John Bryan is the greatest martial arts instructor one could possibly have. He really focuses on performing the movements correctly and flawlessly. Everything is top notch about this program from the training, the video quality, and even the great Japanese music that is played during the training. Sensei Bryan even teaches the Japanese terminology for each of the movements and the number counting for each of the repetitions. It had been my lifelong dream to earn a Black Belt, but when I was younger it seemed that every time I began training in some martial art, the instructor would soon move to another city and I would be left without an instructor. So this is great as a online program, I don't have to worry about Sensei Bryan moving to another city. I also work evening shifts, which would make it nearly impossible to attend a local Dojo. But with this online program, I am able to come home from work and do the Karate lessons at 1-3 AM in the morning. So far this program has been awesome and I can't wait until tomorrow's training. Sensei Bryan always is so fun to watch and train with, and I can't wait to start on my next belt tomorrow. Thank you Sensei!

My name is David Zoppi and I am a student of the Kanzen Karate Academy. The online-karate platform is wonderful for people who work and do not have the time to attend classes because it provides the flexibility and convenience of learning at home while being able to access lessons anytime of the day or night. The level of instruction is extraordinary! Sensei John is an outstanding instructor, and he teaches you step-by-step in a way that is fun and provides comprehensive instruction, feedback and intensive training to help you to grow, to understand, to learn and to achieve. I highly recommend Kanzen Karate Academy.

For many years I had wanted to get into Karate as I send my kids to the local Dojo here in Melbourne Australia, but for me I could never commit as an International Airline pilot flying 24/7 shift work rosters its near impossible to make scheduled classes or belt tests. I have researched all the online Dojos and decided John Bryans WWKA would be the best fit for me. Since joining 3 weeks ago, I have been very impressed with the training material and Sensei Johns instructional technique a true professional breaking down techniques with the check point system. The flexibility of this unique course has allowed me to train all over the world whilst away on Layovers in Hong Kong with work to Honolulu whilst on Holidays. I passed my Yellow Belt Test a few days ago after working hard for it and am enjoying the training to Orange Belt. Highly recommended should have done it years ago.

John Bryan advertises his karate style as Kanzen Ryu Karate, but I found his content, approach and kata the same as Go Kan Ryu, not surprising really as he use to be an ex Go Kan Ryu instructor. I have nothing against the instructor or style, but I do want to know what I'm studying, and if it's a legitimate source. On all of the Kanzen Ryu websites it states that Kanzen Ryu is a style founded by Shinan Varasteh in Iran, fusing the karate styles of - Shorinji Ryu - Wado Ryu - Goju Ryu.
Like any traditional karate teachings, a teacher should always be open to sharing their lineage and current teachings. In my personal opinion I would say that what John Bryan teaches is not Kanzen Ryu karate but a slightly adapted Go Kan Ryu syllabus, and therefore should not be promoted as Kanzen Ryu Karate.

I have been practicing Karate for many years now but never been able to grade or reach any belt above the white belt because of life and its unexpected events. I've always moved to another place, stopped my practice because of an event or changed my instructor because of the unsuitable schedule and repeated all the program from scratch! In today's fast-pace times, it is very difficult to commit to a traditional program where we go to a fixed place and stick with a specific schedule... and places to practice karate are not always near where we live. Online-karate is the only solution to solve this problem and following the instructor via video is better, for me, than following an instructor in the class because I feel like it is a private course and I can pause, repeat as many times as I want. Online-karate is also cheaper! And the instructor is available to answer my questions and comment the videos that I submit very clearly! I really like it this way and I recommend online-karate to anyone :)

If you're reading this review, you are probably where I was not so long ago: looking for an online, flexible and efficient Karate learning program. I'm so glad I decided to go for it, because it has been a life changer since I subscribed. Father of a 17 month old, it was quasi impossible for me to attend a class at a physical dojo (I tried) with most classes during the evening (exactly when I want to spent time with my daughter) and not compatible with my full-time job. That's why this karate online program has been a dream saver for me. The dream to one day reach black belt level. Before it was only a distant dream, but now it's a real goal from which I'm getting closer every day thanks to Sensei John Bryan's online Karate program. And because the courses are available to you 24/7, I can train at anytime, for me it's very early in the morning, before the rest of the family wakes up, and you can also continue to train when you're on vacation!
Another point that makes this program brilliant, is the quality of the teachings from Sensei John. Every video is a private lesson for you and you only. He his very specific and will walk you through every important checkpoints of every techniques to make sure you have solid foundations in your karate. He also encourages you and provide specific videos for warming up and strecthing.
Last but not least, Sensei John makes himself easy to contact and will answer any questions you have by email pretty quickly. This also makes it feel like an ongoing private lesson.
So here you are, if you want to benefit from the teachings of a private Sensei that will train you through all the belts for a very reasonable cost then join me and many others in this amazing program!
