Sensei Erik Johnstone is a Martial Arts practitioner and instructor. He is the head instructor at the Shindokan Budo New England.

We don’t get to fulfill our obligations to transmit the art without students coming into the dojo, without students coming to training events. So our very existence in the role of teacher is entirely dependent on the existence of the role of the students.

Sensei Erik Johnstone - Episode 570

When your mother finds a way for you to get into the Martial Arts, it makes things a lot easier. Sensei Erik Johnstone has his mother to thank for introducing him to his first martial arts school when he was a kid. A self-confessed avid fan of the 70s show “Kung Fu” starred by David Carradine, his passion for the martial arts grew. Since then, Sensei Erik Johnstone has been a practitioner of traditional and classical Japanese and Okinawan martial traditions for more than 30 years. Presently he is the Chief Instructor of his school Shindokan Budo that has dojos in both Connecticut and Rhode Island. Listen to learn more!
