Little Dragon Fitness started in 2015 in Beijing, China while John (Little Dragon) was in medical school. John had a background in both traditional and modern martial arts, and was using a multitude of training methods to help his friends, coworkers and classmates stay healthy and get fit. He later decided as a supplement to his medical career to become a certified personal trainer, specializing in pain management and using exercise to treat chronic diseases. He also worked as a certified hiking guide with the Beijing Hikers  around Beijing and throughout China from 2018 to 2021.  He now incorporates all of these modalities into his daily practice to keep himself and his patients fit.
