John Burke Recommends

Once you have read John's articles and books, and watched our dvds, there are other people who share his ethos and regard for the martial arts that you might like to take a look at:

Russell Stutely www.russellstutely.co.uk  Russell Stutely is acknowledged as Europe's leading authority on the use of Pressure Points in the Martial arts.

 

 

 

 

OCFM www.ocfm.co.uk  The Open Circle Fighting Method (OCFM) is the home to some of the Worlds finest Martial Arts Coaches. John Burke is the OCFM National Kata Bunkai Coach.

 

 

John credits Master Stutely with giving him the keys to put the pictures together. Although John had learned pressure points and the like from other teachers, it was Russell who showed him how it all came together.

Russell introduced John to Anthony Blades. Anthony is the head of the Open Circle Institute.

 

www.opencircleinstitute.co.uk and frequently presents advanced information on body mechanics and movement at John's dojo. Anthony shows how Classical Karate and modern fighting meet.
 

 

 

John is also hugely fond of the history of the art, and without the help of Patrick McCarthy Hanshi

www.koryu-uchinadi.com the research into the roots of Karate would be a lot harder. Hanshi's flow drills bridge the gap between sparring and Kata.
