John Wes Green

Founder & Editor, Fighting Arts Health Lab

John Wes Green began training as a teenager in Isshin Ryu Karate before taking up Aikido in Guam under Shihan Benjamin Garlarpe. Returning to the U.S., he continued his study under Shihan Yoshimitsu Yamada, Shihan Donovan Waite, and Shidoin Jason Perna, and has served as a staff instructor at Old City Aikido in Philadelphia. He rounds out his practice with striking and BJJ seminars, and founded Fighting Arts Health Lab to bring together the training, health, and recovery knowledge that martial artists actually need.
