INSTRUCTORS

BILLIE JOHNSTON

Billie established EMA East Coast in 2019, providing Self Defense, Muay Thai, and Fitness classes to The Community of Three Rivers in Petitcodiac, New Brunswick. She holds the rank of Level 6 Instructor with the Martial Arts International Union (MAIU), she is a 1st Degree Krav Maga Black Belt under Elite Martial Arts Toronto and holds the rank of Muay Thai Blue Shorts under SIAM No.1 Toronto. 


Her experience extends beyond the mat with instructor certification in Multi-Sport Coaching under the National Coaching Certification Program, and Fencing instructor certification under Fencing NB. This allows her to blend the elegance of swordplay and strategic thinking into her classes, for a diverse and unique training experience.


Billie’s classes aren’t just about physical conditioning; they’re about building character and resilience. She takes a no-nonsense approach and her teaching style is refreshingly straightforward. She cuts through the fluff, emphasizing safety, technique, and discipline. Students under her guidance develop a rock-solid foundation—the kind that propels them to the next level. 

Fredrick johnson

 

As EMA’s Lead Self Defense and Muay Thai Instructor, Fredrick holds the rank of Expert Level 6 Instructor, the highest level that can be achieved with the Martial Arts International Union (MAIU). In addition to his teaching credentials, Fredrick is a 1st Degree Krav Maga Black Belt under Elite Martial Arts Toronto and holds the rank of Poo Choi Kru under SIAM No.1 Toronto. He continues his training with the MAIU, EMA Toronto, and SCARs Military Training.


Fredrick also received the Elite Martial Arts Toronto Award for exhibiting the highest standard of work ethic in training and the SIAM No.1 Muay Thai Award for his commitment to learning and upholding all practices and traditions of Muay Thai.

His classes aren’t just effective; they’re exhilarating. Fredrick’s teaching style is pragmatic yet playful. He weaves humor into technique, turning each class into an adventure. Students leave sweaty, smiling, and transformed. He immerses students in real-world scenarios—the unexpected, the adrenaline-fueled. No time for “deer-in-the-headlights” moments; only confident responses.


If you’re seeking a mentor who embodies the spirit of martial arts, look no further. His every move reflects decades of discipline and unwavering commitment. He’s not just an instructor; he’s a force.

LOGAN MCMACKIN

 

Logan has been with EMA East Coast since its inception. He has dedicated countless hours to training in all of our programs and is a true testament to what our school represents: dedication, respect, and commitment.


He earned his Level 1 Instructor Certification with EMA East Coast in February 2025. Logan holds the rank of Krav Maga Blue Belt under Elite Martial Arts East Coast and Muay Thai Blue Shorts under SIAM No.1 Toronto. He continues his training with EMA East Coast, though he’s currently away for training with the Canadian Armed Forces!


When Logan is back home and teaching, his classes focus on technique and endurance. Students leave sweaty and smiling, trying to keep up with his energy, stamina, and school spirit.
