John bednar

With 25 years of experience, Coach Bednar began his martial arts journey as a teenager in 1998.

 

He earned his black belt in Taekwondo while in high school under Grand Master Mayes in Spring Lake, NC competing in local, state, and national tournaments.

​

During his college years, he studied Muay Thai and boxing all while competing in amateur boxing, kick boxing, and Mauy Thai. His family later moved to Clayton in 2011 and he moved to training/fighting at The Kai Thai Academy of Martial Arts in Wilson, NC under Kru Bishop Holmes.

​

Over the past 12 years with Kru Holmes, Coach Bednar has fought  in numerous amateur Mauy Thai fights until his mid thirties when he transitioned into assistant coaching and cornering fighters.

​

With a continued passion for fitness, mental and physical toughness he shifted his personal training to running and has completed several half marathons, marathons and ultras (Spartan). Now that Coach Bednar has lived in the Wendell area for the past 4 years, he is excited to bring Mauy Thai to First in Flight.
