Emerald City Self defense is a combination of everything, one would want from the martial arts!  We offer a variety of styles covering the three most common training goals:  Fitness, Competition, and Self Defense!

    Our instructors offer a total of 41 years combined experience…   They include methodologies from all over the world.  Similar to a college curriculum, students sign up and train under the programs which is best suited for their personal goals. Whether you are, looking to get into a peak physical condition,  seeking to compete in the cage or the ring, or simply want to feel secure in making it home safe from work, we have a program suited for everyone’s needs. Our goal is to guide students along a path of excellence while having fun along the way!  We encourage parents to get their kids involved, as young as 5 years old, so that they can learn structure, discipline, character and co-ordination at a stage of life in which they absorb the most knowledge.

    Our adult programs are dynamic enough to cater to both the entry level student and the advanced athlete.  We encourage a friendly environment in which students can learn at their own pace, while maintaining an intensity that allows for realistic milestones! Our instructors teach through communication and patience instead of with fear and shock trauma.  We do not believe the militant approach yields optimum results.  For a student to progress successfully, they must want to be in class and not dread it.

Come visit us today for free trail lessons in each of our classes.  We will greet you with a smile and send you home with a sweat!
