I have been searching for years for a school and instructor that teach a practical approach to self defense. The students all love being there and the energy in the room is driven but supportive. Being a woman I was a little intimidated but every person adapts to the needs of their partner and are always willing to help you when you're struggling. My favorite part of this school are the grappling classes. We have so much fun wrestling around while learning new moves. Definitely come check the classes out you'll have a blast. Also, if you are looking for bang for your buck you will not find a better deal. The instruction is fantastic.

I have been lucky enough to train at Greenlake Marital Arts for the past four years and it has been an amazing experience. Matt Soule, the owner and head instructor, is one of the best teachers I have encountered in any discipline. Through his leadership, the school maintains a warm, welcoming culture for participants of all skill levels and gives you practical real world defense skills. The Tsun Jo fighting style, developed by school founder Sijo John N Beall (who instructs advanced students and stops into other classes from time to time), is extremely versatile and effective as a self defense practice. I had some previous boxing experience and the Tsun Jo training has helped me fill tons of holes in my skills and make me a much better fighter. No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes are also available with guest instructors to focus on wrestling and BJJ specifics. It is great to have this variety in the training as so much of the BJJ translates to stand up and vice versa. Matt has recently become a certified instructor of the Wim Hof Method (WHM) and a weekend seminar (ending with an icy dip into Greenlake) has added some amazing non-combat skills to my life. I am very excited about doing more WHM in the future. Whether you are an experienced fighter or someone brand new looking for self defense training or just a fun way to learn something new and stay fit, I highly recommend Greenlake Marital Arts.

When you're walking down the street and you see someone who looks threatening, do you have a plan? A set of skills, basic or advanced, that you can call upon to respond in the case of an altercation? After training in a "traditional" martial art for 7 years, I didn't feel I could answer yes to that question. If that person attacked me in a specific way with the right kind of momentum I could use my training. But that left about a million other ways for a person to attack that I wouldn't know how to handle. When I read about the approach at this school, it immediately spoke to me. I wanted to have skills to respond to any kind of attack, not just attacks from people who trained in the same particular art as me. I've been at the school for almost 5 years now and couldn't be happier. The mix of great people, welcoming environment and a comprehensive system of self defense has been exactly what I wanted.

I've had both my kids here for almost 8 years. Incredibly good youth programs for kids as young as 5. Sijo John Beall is a legend in martial arts and he's there all the time. Head Instructor Matthew Soule is an amazing teacher and leader. I've seen a few other instructors come and go over the past decade and not one has been anything short of outstanding.
