If you are looking for a true master of his craft, a born teacher, and an inspirational jiu jitsu expert that cares as much about his student's progress as he does about their health and safety, you have found the best in the business. This dude is the real deal.

Expert instruction with an eye to helping you with your personal needs in both Jiu Jitsu and Yoga, no matter your condition, experience or age. There's also a strong sense of family here. Not just encouraging entire family units to participate and be involved but that individuals become part of the community too. In my time as a student, I've found that my only road blocks are the ones I keep placing in front of myself.

I only trained here for 3 months and I already felt like it was at home each and every time I stepped in to train.

I moved to Kitsap county and have studied several martial arts and studied at several other Aikido schools. The teaching here is some of the best I've seen in the country! I never expected to find a jewel like this on this side of the water. I feel like my skill has really improved since I started studying here. When I started here, I was dealing with a number if chronic injuries. They've helped me work around them and been very supportive. I find class a joy I look forward to. I feel like they give me a push to get better without pressuring me to do more than i want to do. There is an excellent balance of teaching philosophies, different ages, backgrounds, etc. The teachers are great at meeting students where they are (no martial arts background, or belts from multiple other arts). As a person with a background in other arts, I think Aikido is a great second art because it builds on earlier learning and integrates well. I learn more nuanced ways of moving, more efficient ones, and have buckets of fun while I'm doing it. Great school.

My partner and I took a free trial course in Tsun Jo Kung Fu today. Everyone here, especially the…read moreinstructors, were very welcoming. Initially, we were asked to follow along with warm ups. Next, two different instructors worked with us as a pair. They reviewed proper stances, basic movements, punches, and a couple of blocks. We did some of this work with punching bags, the instructors and each other. They made it interesting, fun, and empowering. They were very encouraging. One was lighthearted and upbeat and the other more serious but patient and very nice. I enjoyed the intimate setting and small class size. In addition to classes they have a small gym that is available to students free as long as the dojo is open. I might have to finagle my work schedule to make this work but we felt good about this experience and plan on continuing with either the one month unlimited trial or five class pass. Based on my first impression, this is totally worth it!

She's taken many lessons in other sports and activities and I've never seen her so excited and willing to go any other class, ever. The Sensei, Sensei Tobey I believe, is amazing with kids. Parents are welcome to hang out and watch the classes and it's great to see someone who can command attention, keep kids focused and still allow them to have fun at the same time. All the while, learning self defense and valuable life lessons. The Sensei's assistants are amazing and so is the woman who greets us when we come in and checks the kids in. I'm so happy we found this dojo and we'll be sticking with it for a long time to come.

This review is for the self-defense 101 class. class began with rules that instantly made me feel comfortable. Rules letting us know that anything we feel is OK, if we ever need to stop or don't want to participate in something, it's fine, things like that. Very comforting. we are then taught everything from how to use our voice to how to use our bodies. We are taught that we are allowed to trust our instinct and respond however we feel necessary to defend ourselves. We are taught ways to get away from people, ways to defend ourselves by hurting the other person if needed, and everything in between For me I must say that there was one clear highlight... After not even 90 minutes, we got to break boards! I I mean, how bad ass is that? Let me tell you something... It felt like the most bad ass thing I've done in a long time and I've been watching the video over and over again and smiling. I want to do this class again and again and I encourage anybody and everybody to go to Quantum

Although this place has moved down the street, the attitude has not. Quantum is a fantastic style…read morethat every serious martial artist should consider as well as anyone with an interest in what martial arts can teach you. Classes are intense with a heavy focus on improving strength, balance, flexibility, and technique (order varying depending on the class). The overall style promotes the importance of combining basic and advanced techniques into practical application with intense sparring classes designed to improve your own creative thought process while under duress. Most importantly, the Quantum community is very inclusive with an outward focus on inclusivity for LGBT people. Belt tests, work days, and community events are organized and performed by the student body for the betterment of all in the group. Definitely a great place to make some great friends. If you are new to martial arts or are looking for a great way to get in shape I recommend it. If you have studied Tae Kwon Do or Kung Fu and would like to continue your training in Seattle, I also recommend Quantum.
