Evolution of Martial Arts / Greenlake Martial Arts

"we arranged a girl scout self defense class with the club. Instructor is very patient and stress all the important points ( not just the move, but overall awareness of the situation and how to prepare). both girls and moms learned essentials and had a good start on self-practicing tactics. We'd recommend the class and the club to other girls/moms out there."

"I've been a fan of GMAS for over 15 years and can honestly say that the skills and mindset practiced here have made me a better person. Matt and the good people of GMAS are both supportive and patient, while at the same time encouraging you to always do your best. I cannot recommend this school enough, and it's 100% because of the people. So much in fact, that both myself and my son have started training there again (Post pandemic)"

"I was pretty nervous to start practicing martial arts, something I’ve been wanting to do for years, and am so happy I took a chance on Greenlake Martial Arts! After doing research on many different places that offer martial arts training, Greenlake Martial Arts stood out to me based on the testimonials given by both students and instructors as well as the emphasis on making moves practical to optimize protection. The training environment is really cooperative and uplifting, trainers are really knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, and I am learning so much with every class I attend. These classes have added so much benefit to my life, both in how I feel in strengthening my body as well as the confidence I feel out in my every day life living in a city. Thank you to everyone at Greenlake Martial Arts, it’s been an awesome experience and I look forward to continuing my training!"

"My name is Michael, and I turn 57 this month. I have been training martial arts since I was a child. And I have had many instructors over the years.. and Matt is one of the best instructors that I’ve had the privilege of associating with. He’s very supportive, caring and a knowledgeable instructor. Matt has poured his heart, mind, and body and soul into Tsun Jo Wing Chun. Instructor Matt has created a community of incredible martial artist and kind, knowledgeable people. His support and knowledge has benefited my life greatly, and his refinement and growth of Tsun Jo. Is incredible. I would recommend Tsun Jo too people of all walks of life. From children to the elderly."

"I believe that the Tsun Jo system for survival self-defense is the finest martial art ever developed. The moves are practical, simple to remember, and universally applicable. The system's practitioners and instructors regularly test it for weakness, and do not hide in formality or tradition, nor shy from reevaluating how it works over time, and adapting it as necessary. The school's students and instructors are kind, safe training partners, and the class environment is positive and motivating. This is the best self-defense martial-arts school in the Northwest, bar none."
