Sifu Marcie
I'm Committed to Your Freedom
The purpose of my life is to
be loving, joyful and adventurous, to share my life and my story with others, to keep learning and expanding what I know about the world so that I can
live a life that is free and help others do the same.
That means helping you create freedom from whatever is holding you back and teaching you how to move past your fear into a confident and peaceful way of being.
This work is grounded in our relationship with ourselves, physically and emotionally.
I can be present in this work with you because I've been assaulted myself and I did the hard work to build a life that I love.
My background in martial arts includes Jeet Kune Do (Jun Fan Gung Fu), Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, along with various Filipino Martial Arts. I have trained 100s of people in the Pacific Northwest in formal and informal, short term and long term, training sessions, including Home Self Defense, Weapons & Weapons Defenses, and Jeet Kune Do.
Additionally, I have 20+ years experience in teaching, personal coaching, conflict management, and advocacy.
I am also a mother, partner, scuba diver, hiker, gardener, artist, and so much more!
Kickboxing Instructor, Dakota
Dakota has 8+ years experience in Dutch and Muay Thai Kickboxing, and has cross trained in Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Escrima, and Jiu Jitsu.
What do you love about Muay Thai kickboxing?
"I love the absolute freedom of choice and movement. There's a way for most anyone with dedication to become a versatile artist.
I think it gives humans legitimate reasons to feel safer and more confident in their own body, knowing that their abilities are available at will.
Also, I love that the cardiovascular action creates prime neurochemical conditions to change perspectives -synaptogenesis and all that. Physical changes are wonderful and often profound."
