Biography

John Vanis II is a multi-talented actor, producer, and screenwriter based in Hollywood, Florida. Known for his commanding on-screen presence and deep expertise in martial arts, John brings authenticity and intensity to every role. With years of experience across the entertainment industry, he contributes to projects from concept through execution, blending action and storytelling with a distinctive creative vision.

A multiple black belt holder in Filipino Martial Arts, John is highly skilled in both empty-hand combat and weapons training. His specialties include single and double stick fighting, kampilan (sword), machete, lubid (rope), gun disarmament, and single- and double-edged blade techniques. He is also proficient with the sibat, karambit, and knife, drawing from extensive training in Lahuka and American Freestyle Karate systems. His work emphasizes choreographed sequences rooted in Kali, Arnis, and Eskrima traditions.

John is the creator of Hiraya-Lahuka, a unique martial arts system that fuses his knowledge of combat, edge defense, and practical choreography. Designed for cinematic application, Hiraya-Lahuka enhances on-screen action with precision and realism. Committed to excellence both in front of and behind the camera, John Vanis II continues to push creative boundaries, merging powerful storytelling with world-class martial arts mastery.
