At Inner Power Martial Arts, you’re guided by Master Brian McCann, a lifelong student and passionate teacher of Hapkido. Since beginning his journey in 1990, Master Brian has devoted himself to mastering and sharing this powerful Korean martial art. Teaching in Monmouth and Ocean counties since 2001, he brings decades of experience and a commitment to helping every student unlock their full potential.
In 2007, Master Brian discovered Jung Ki Hapkido through Sr. American Master Michael D’Aloia, immersing himself in this authentic, orthodox practice passed down directly from Hapkido’s founder. As an official Jungki Kwan Hapkido Master, he takes pride in preserving and teaching the original techniques to his students.
Master Brian’s impact extends beyond the mat. He’s worked with schools in the Freehold Regional School District as well as Jackson Township School District empowering students as a guest speaker and karate instructor. He’s also trained law enforcement personnel from Monmouth and Ocean Counties in defensive tactics and has been inducted into multiple Martial Arts Halls of Fame.
Master Brian’s mission is simple: to build confidence, strength, and resilience in every student, regardless of age or experience. A Howell business owner since 2005, he is dedicated to the community and creating a welcoming space where students can thrive.
Outside the dojo, Master Brian enjoys spending time with his wife and four kids, practicing Wim Hof breathing, working on his classic car, bamboo gardening, and enjoying the outdoors. He’s passionate about fitness, growth, and helping you discover your inner power.
