John got into Krav Maga and Kickboxing in his later years and says it's the Blackwell Academy and it's instructors who have helped, encouraged and supported him in the gradings and development. He states two of the biggest wins as his flexibility and fitness. John says there is no age limit to Krav Maga and although we may have different levels of fitness and flexibility everyone is encouraged to reach their own peak. He says he has witnessed many students both as a student himself and now as an instructor not only reach what they thought would be their peak but surpass it. Needless to say, John passes this positive message on to his students.
