Assitant Instructors
Assitant Instructors
Mr. Kevin Bradbury and Mrs. Jackie Bradbury
Both of the Bradbury's got involved in the martial arts after enrolling their daughter Kate (who is also an assistant instructor) in a local martial arts school. Over the years they both have studied different styles of martial arts (including American Karate and Modern Arnis) before coming to Hidden Sword but their passion is Modern Arnis and that is what they have worked hard to earn rank in. Ever since coming to Hidden Sword they have worked tirelessly and have been instrumental in helping to grow and promote our program here at Hidden Sword.
In August of 2013 they were promoted to Lakan Isa and Dayang Isa (1st degree black belts) in the Hidden Sword Modern Arnis program.
Master Lynn arranged for both of the Bradbury's to be watched and secretly tested for their Lakan and Dayang ranks while at a seminar with their former Modern Arnis instructor David Jones and his Modern Arnis instructor Sifu Chui. It was a unanimous decision (after spending time over weekend observing, training with, and exchanging techniques with them) by the examiners Sifu Chui, Master Lynn, and Master Jones that they had earned their rank.
In May of 2017 Kevin and Jackie Bradbury were promoted to Lakan Dalawa and Dayang Dalawa at Hidden Sword's Presas Arnis Black Belt exam.
