About the Trainers
John Littlefield
Head Instructor
Born in Rock-Port, Texas, in 1955, John Littlefield spent the early years of his life living in Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, California, Washington, Alaska, and abroad in Bahrain and Lebanon. He has been an Ithaca resident for the past twenty eight years and a business owner for the past fifteen years. From the very early years, John found a passion for all kinds of sports which tested his mental and physical strength. His highly competitive spirit led him to pass proficiency tests at the North Carolina State University in the sports of scuba diving, tennis, cross-country running, weight training, archery, golf, handball, table tennis, badminton, and racketball. He took advanced courses in down-hill skiing, skateboarding, diving, soccer, football, baseball, and basketball.
He achieved expert status in the martial arts (kickboxing, boxing, judo, tae kwon do, hap ki do, weapons, and breaking), wrestling, swimming, surfing, climbing, and target shooting. He is a fifth dan black belt holder in Hwardo and is currently training under world-famous Grand Master H.Y. Kwon. One of John's life-long dreams is to eventually become a Grand Master in Hwardo himself. Sports, from the martial arts to water surfing, are John's way of life!
