Sensei John Bucchino
2nd Degree Black Belt
Sensei John has spent the last 20 years studying martial arts. He is a 2nd degree Black belt. He began studying traditional Kenpo where he earned his third degree brown belt. He then became a student of Ed Parker’s American Kenpo Karate. He’s been teaching men, women & children of all ages for the past 13 years. After running a karate school for four years, he realized his dream and opened his own studio in 2005.
He believes one of the most important benefits of martial arts is the life skills that the students learn and carry with them throughout their life. Many AKF students attribute their successes such as, joining the Army, Navy, FBI and attending college to what they learned through karate.
Sensei John is passionate about teaching karate to others and feels fortunate to be doing what he loves for a living. He presently studies under Sensei Sepulveda, a 9th degree black belt who studied directly under Ed Parker.
