We Live in a Dangerous World

 

If you're anxious about getting hurt, robbed, or bullied in the streets...

Or if you desire to keep your family safe... but aren't confident in your ability to physically protect them...

Or if it makes your blood boil when someone takes your lunch money and property...

Or if you dream of fighting like a UFC Pro... but struggle to level up your skills...

Then let me empower you. You CAN change things for the better.

 

What If You Could...

Confidently stand up to those who abuse you... and never be afraid of them again.

Protect your loved ones from anyone that threatens them

Powerfully fight just like your favorite MMA fighters.

Here's The Most Effective Way To Protect Yourself & Others

 

If someone tries to take your lunch money, your life, your family, or anything important to you... you're not powerless.

So fight back!

But don’t go in unprepared.

If you show up to a fight without skills, it’s like bringing a gun to a gunfight—but with no bullets.

You need to equip yourself with the right ‘bullets’—self-defense skills to handle any chaotic situation.

And for that, you need a proven self-defense system that works in real-world fights (I’ll explain more soon).

 

 

But First, Who Am I & Why Should You Listen To Me?

My name is John Hackleman.

I wasn't always great at fighting.

Before I became a UFC coach, 10th degree black belt, and World Kickboxing Champion…

I was a small, shy Hawaiian kid who just wanted to keep his lunch money.

But bigger kids bullied me because I was white and blonde. I looked different from them.

They painfully took my lunch money. And I felt powerless to help myself, being smaller and weaker.

Until one day, I decided I had enough.

So I started learning how to fight at a dojo.

Once I got good enough, I stood up to my bully in front of the whole school.

He never bullied me again. In fact, no one did.

And from that day on, my motivation to keep fighting was this:

I wanted to protect whatever was important to me.

When I was a kid, it was my lunch money. Now, as an adult, it's my life, my family, and my property!

That's why I wanted to be a protector and help others become protectors too.

So I kept training. Years later, I got into professional boxing. I won some world champion titles

Later, I opened a dojo. Then trained Chuck Liddell, Glover Teixeira, Tim Kennedy, and other UFC champions.

Today, I teach people worldwide how to protect themselves using martial arts.

Because my mission is to Create champions and empower people to become protectors.

But There's a Problem With Most Other Martial Arts Styles

 

If you've tried learning traditional martial arts like Karate or similar styles...

Deep down you may have noticed something:

Most traditional martial arts techniques aren’t practical in real-world fights.

They're great for building strength and discipline.

But after fighting in almost every martial arts genre... I've learned that these techniques were mostly designed for competitions with rules.

But in a street fight, there are no rules.

A flashy spinning kick may look cool in the ring. But in real life, it leaves you exposed and off-balance.

Fancy high kicks open you up to attacks. And fancy stances are too slow for the fast pace of a real fight.

If you've studied other traditional techniques... you might have realized they don't hold up when things get real.

Unfortunately, so many martial arts schools force feed you technique after technique. But once you get in a real fight, you have no idea how to use them.

You see... It's easy to learn techniques, but it's hard to feel safe.

I Don't Want to Waste Your Time with Techniques That Won't Work in a Real Fight

 

That’s why I developed a system focused only on practical, no-nonsense techniques.

No fluff—just what you need to stay safe on the streets and dominate in the cage.

It’s a street version of MMA that has become one of the most respected martial arts worldwide.

This system is for martial artists like you, who want to protect themselves using a proven fighting style.

I call it Hawaiian Kempo, and I’ve been teaching it in person for over 40 years!

But with so many people wanting to learn it, I knew it was time to create something new...
