John Ralph

I am a certified 8th degree Black Belt with more than 40 years of experience in martial arts training.  I am sole owner of East Coast Koju-Kai Karate MMA Center and am dedicated to the personal growth, development and success of all my students.  My center reflects the proper etiquette and hard training of a traditional dojo found in Japan.   I teach Men/Women & children ages 5 & up American/Japanese Karate, Cardio Kick Boxing, Bootcamp Fitness, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, MMA & Haganah F.I.G.H.T.  My experience covers everything -  including standup fighting, takedowns, break falling, ground fighting & submission holds.  As of 2003, I was the 1st Dojo Instructor in the state of NJ to be certified in Haganah F.I.G.H.T. System which is an Israeli based system that teaches you a unique combination of Israeli Military tactics and other martial arts to defeat stronger, more skilled and even armed opponents.  Haganah does not employ complicated techniques but rather easy to learn systems, enabling you to get confident and capable quickly.
