Marco DA@NSWER Johnson

Marco “Ur Boy Da@nswer” Johnson
has been a martial artist since day
one. His drive and determination is
deep-routed in values taught to him
through family, life lessons and a unique
understanding of the legacy he intends
to leave in the martial arts and fitness
communities. But it wasn’t enough to be
born into the martial arts. You have to
want it. You have to continue wanting
it. Marco was inspired by the movies,
like No Retreat, No Surrender, and
action stars of the time. It was at the age
of 4 that he discovered his calling to
become a martial artist and entertainer.
It’s something he thinks about every day
when he gets up to tackle the world.

Life was never easy for a child that grew
up in the projects of Baltimore City.
Marco was exposed to many negative
influences in his youth. It was the faith
in his family (especially his father, Willie
“The Bam” Johnson) that inspired him to
move beyond the shroud of negativity.
Abuse, welfare and overall hardship were
common in his early life. He constantly
reminds himself where he started so he
can move forward and rise above every
occasion. He has been through some of
the most intense training imaginable.
“ I don’t study a style. I study an art.”
The arts are his life and he takes them
very seriously. People often ask Marco
what style of martial arts he studies his
reply is simple.

The art is of movement and rhythm evokes
an energy that inspires and reaches all
of those with an open mind and the
willingness to explore their own abilities.
He understands what it means to fight.
And not fighting for the sake of fighting,
but fighting for the sake of survival, honor
and respect. His accolades are limitless.
