I’m John Titchen. I’ve been regularly training in the Martial Arts and approaches to self protection for almost thirty years and have learned from instructors across the world.
I’m the author of seven ground-breaking books on karate and self defence, a former regular columnist for Traditional Karate Magazine, Combat Magazine and Jissen, and a two time transplant survivor. I write articles on personal safety and self protection focused karate and teach seminars internationally.
