Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei John Delaney

John Delaney started his journey in martial arts at age 23 in search of the tools for self-defense.“Early on, I loved how I felt while I trained,” he says, “and I wanted to pass that feeling on to others.” Today, he brings nearly three decades of teaching expertise to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of our New Dorp, Staten Island school.

Delaney views martial arts as an opportunity to build his students’ confidence and make them feel good about themselves. “My students inspire me every time they step on the mat,” says Delaney, “how far they’ve come, how martial arts has taught them to be mentally tough and not to give up. One of our instructors, Rob Varricchio, perfectly exemplifies this no-quit spirit. He wasn’t naturally gifted. But over time he developed a fantastic work ethic. Today, he’s passionate about teaching and has his sights set on the UFC!” provide the tools students use to better themselves.” 

Delany’s adult classes help members achieve that same focus and discipline while “giving students a killer workout.” “My school is like a big family,” he says. “It’s a fun place to hang out and train, and you learn real self-defense techniques at the same time. So it’s great for peace of mind, and a good way to relieve tension.”
