Welcome!
Thank you for visiting our website. At the Greenlake Martial Arts School, we are dedicated to providing students with professional instruction in an inspiring and motivating environment. Here you will find information on how our classes are structured, membership and trial classes, and trial class times.
Class Structure
Tsun Jo® class begins with a brief meditation to help lower your center of balance and prepare your mind for training. Next are warm-up exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the body in preparation for the harder training that follows.
Rounds training is next. If it is your first class, an instructor will work with you and demonstrate how to correctly perform each technique on the different types of punching bags. It is important to pace yourself, and give your body time to adapt to this type of training. Most people find they enjoy this type of training and make a lot of improvement in just the first few weeks of participation.
Additional training in Tsun Jo® follows for the remainder of class in groups based on sash color. If you are a beginner, you will learn how to effectively use strikes and kicks, position your body to be most efficient and work with your training partner with a safe, non-competitive attitude.
Introductory Classes
We invite you to come in during any Tsun Jo® All Levels class (see our Class Schedule) to watch or participate. If you choose to join the class, comfortable clothes (shorts or sweatpants and a T-shirt) and running shoes are recommended. There are two introductory choices:
- Trial Class: $20
- Two Week Introduction: $35
Membership Information
While a good deal of class time deals with physical conditioning through anaerobic and aerobic exercise, the true benefits of training are both mental and physical. The Tsun Jo® System is a step by step training method that teaches empty hand self defense, how to use and escape from grabs, joint locks and chokes, and how to use and defend against common weapons. Through focused, disciplined training, you will enjoy long term rewards.
