John Ewer

My name is John Ewer, I am both instructor and prime mover of Highgate Martial Arts Academy.

I am a martial arts practitioner with over thirty years experience.

My original discipline was Judo, and my master was Percy Sekine (eighth dan), he is still a friend to this day, and I have indeed been lucky when choosing my masters.

Later, and while living abroad, I practiced Taekwondo. After returning to the U.K. I was still searching for my defining discipline, and I found it in Jeet Kune Do.

Once again i had the good fortune to be introduced to Roger Barnes (U.K. European, and World Championship Silver and Gold medalist) I obtained my Black Belt qualification for Jeet Kune Do under his tuition.

We have decided to remain relatively small in size, and by these means we will be able to ensure that our students receive personal attention, whether they require an initial entry level self-defence course or the full syllabus of Jeet Kune Do.

If you are interested, please visit the website that list all the current group classes that we run.
