Johnathan Ho started kung fu bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the age of eight, and spent the next fourteen years studying and training to obtain a 2nd degree black belt. He understands the growing process that comes with the dedication to martial arts, especially as a child or teen. He self-identifies as a "bridge between the adult and kid world," which is why he revels in being an instructor for the adult program as well as the head instructor for the Junior Warriors program. Always upbeat and playful, he can get kids and adults alike to wear a smile while still fostering a disciplined environment. Be prepared to work hard and laugh well in his classes.
