Keysi Fighting Method New York

John Leabo is one of the pioneering Instructors of KFM in the United States. John was a graduate of the first KFM Instructor's Class back in 2007, when KFM first arrived from Europe to the United States. He was one of the first Instructor's to teach KFM in the United States, and the first Instructor to train and graduate KFM students in New York. 

In addition to his KFM training, John has over 14 years of experience in a broad range of other Martial Arts. He is also a National Acadamy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer, a USA Boxing Certified Coach and a former New York City Police Officer.

Although his training methods are very realistic and intense, the Academy atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and fun. In just over a year, his student base has quadrupled in size, forcing him to open a new 3,700 square feet facility to meet the demand. There are no ego's, attitudes or delusions of grandeur at the Academy and everyone is treated equally with respect.

Mike Simon is John Leabo's highest ranking student and his personal training partner. He brings his real world street experience and agressive work ethic into his teaching.
