My name is Jonathan Field. I am a 6th Degree Black Belt and Taekwondo Master Instructor. Over my 23+ years Martial Arts career, I have been fortunate enough to have competed across North America and Europe winning numerous championships such as 12 World Championships, multiple North American Championships, European Championship, Irish Championship, and multiple Canadian Championships, to name a few. In my competitive career, I have also have held 9 World Records and coached 17 World Champions.
I started helping and teaching Taekwondo classes very early on in my martial arts career as well as conducting self defense seminars and lectures for various ladies' groups, private businesses, mother/daughter groups, and individuals. When I taught a defense workshop with one of my female Black Belts Cheryl Sanders, I saw the bigger picture. Cheryl inspired me to really focus on educating and empowering women through self defense training in a more impactful way than what we had previously done. The idea of EMPOWERED was born as well as the motivation to write and publish my first book, EMPOWERED Essential Concepts and Strategies Every Woman Should Know About Self Defense.
