John Bain
Bio:
The spark that started Mr. Bain's martial arts fire was the TV show "The Green Hornet." This show co-starred the world famous martial artist Bruce Lee as Kato. This led him to his introduction to Tae Kwon-Do by Master Soo Young Cha at the age of 12. It was many years later while serving in the US Navy that his serious martial arts instruction began at the Chuck Norris Karate Studio in Norfolk, VA.
It was because of the quality instruction and the personal relationship developed with the Instructors that a burning desire was instilled in him to research and learn as much as possible about the martial arts. Upon his honorable discharge he went to Korea and studied the Korean language at Yonsai University and Tae Kwon Do at the National College of Physical Education in Seoul, South Korea. This experience was priceless as it gave him a real insight into the Korean culture and lifestyle.
Upon returning to the United States, Mr. Bain set out to study and experience many other martial art systems. In the 40 plus years that he has trained in Korean Martial Arts, Okinawan Martial Arts, Filipino Martial Arts, Chinese Martial Arts and American Martial Arts. Mr. Bain holds multiple black belts and teaching certificates. Mr. Bain has said. "I believe we must always keep the spirit of being a student, that way we can learn in all aspects of our life. My job is to give the best quality instruction and continue learning better ways to help my students and their families become winners in life." In 1998 Mr. Bain came to the Dallas area as an Instructor for Chuck Norris' KICKSTART KIDS Foundation (Formally Kick Drugs Out Of America). When asked why he joined our cause, Mr. Bain replied, "I am able to make a difference in our future through our youth."
