Hello! Welcome to the JLS Martial Arts information site. Sensei John Sullivan a 3rd Degree Black Belt in American Okinowan Karate and 1st Degree Black belt in Modern Arnis is now teaching students in Reading Vermont at the Reading Elementary School as well as private lessons in Springfield Vermont. Sensei Sullivan has been studying MArtial Arts since 1979. His first instructor was Chester Holubecki in Holyoke Mass where he recieved his brown belt in Isshinryu Karate. he then started training with Sifu Richard Roy in Greenfield MAss after Sensei Holubecki moved to Florida. He recieved his Black Belt from Sifu Roy in 1989 and had also begun training in Modern Arnis in 1984 under Master Remy Presas(founder of Modern Arnis) and Sifu Roy. Sensei Sullivan teaches the Karate forms from the Isshinryu system along with an eclectic mix of self defense techniques from a variety of styles.
 Students first learn to bow in and out of class as well as in and
 out of the trainng hall and to there instructors.
Attitude, Conditioning and Technique are the three main disciplines we teach.
Without the right attitude the students will not reach there full potential.
 Attitude encompasses all other aspects of there training and will
determine success in there conditioning and the acquisition of technique.
The internal training is as important as the external training.
One compliments the other and together produce a well rounded Martial Artist.
