Programs
Kids martial arts
Our kids classes in Poulsbo build focus, confidence, and respect through active, age‑appropriate Budo principles. We’ve structured two levels—Ages 5–9 and Ages 10–14—so each child learns at the right pace. In these engaging classes, students train in real Japanese martial arts while practicing respect, discipline, and self‑control. Sign up for a free trial class and watch your child grow—on and off the mats.
adult martial arts
Learn practical self‑defense and mindful movement at your own pace in an ego‑free dojo. Our adult martial arts classes in Poulsbo are grounded in classical Budo Taijutsu, with a focus on strong fundamentals, balance, and functional skill. Whether you’re starting fresh or returning after time away, you’ll train in a supportive environment—no pressure, no attitude. Discover how this practice can help you feel stronger, more focused, and more in control of your body and your surroundings.
fitness kickboxing
Burn calories, build strength, and smash stress with high‑energy bag work—no sparring required. Our kickboxing classes in Poulsbo deliver a full‑body workout through striking combos that are both effective and fun. You’ll punch, kick, and move your way to better fitness without needing experience, gear, or any interest in getting hit. Start your free trial today and see how powerful it feels to hit the bag—and leave feeling stronger, energized, and clear‑headed.
self-defense
Master real‑world safety tactics—from awareness to de‑escalation to physical defense. Our self‑defense program in Poulsbo focuses on everyday safety, not belt ranks or sports drills. You’ll learn how to recognize danger early, communicate with clarity, and act decisively if needed. Physical skills are taught as a last resort, with no uniforms or experience required. This is self-defense for real life—calm, practical, and confidence-building. Try a free class and take your first step toward feeling prepared and in control.
