For more than three decades, Jonathan has dedicated his life to helping people of all ages cultivate calm, confidence, and connection — not only through martial arts training, but through a deeply integrated approach to personal development.

His acclaimed Life Ki-do system blends the principles and movement of Systema, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tai Chi, Tang Soo Do, and practical self-defense, creating a holistic method that develops physical skill, emotional resilience, and inner balance.

Jonathan is a certified Systema instructor under Vladimir Vasiliev and began his martial arts journey as a child, training in wrestling, Tang Soo Do, and Tae Kwon Do. He continued into adulthood with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Systema, Tai Chi, and Boxing, shaping a lifelong path rooted in adaptability, flow, and purpose.

Beyond the mats, Jonathan is the author of several Amazon best-selling books, including River Flow: A Simple Path to Live Your Best Life, The Circle of Confidence: Six Steps to a Strong Calm You, and Meditation Flow: Melt Your Stress – Quiet Your Mind – Elevate Your Spirit, as well as the award-winning Life Ki-do Parenting: Tools to Raise Happy, Confident Kids from the Inside Out.

Through his teaching, writing, and martial arts practice, Jonathan’s mission remains simple yet profound — to help others find their flow, live with intention, and embody true strength through inner calm.
