NWFA is dedicated to sharing the benefits of the martial arts with our community. My Martial Arts journey started over 35 years ago and I hold Nationally certifications in Brazilian Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Eskrima, Tai chi and Qigong."I am most passionate about helping people reach levels they never thought possible. Martial arts are great for fitness and over all health, but the biggest and most fulfilling changes I have seen throughout the years is witnessing hundreds of students change their lives though this training. They become more confident, enthusiastic, increase their self discipline and desire to better them selves." I started teaching in 1988. In 1994 after graduating college at PSU I started up NWFA. I began teaching out of my basement and at different clubs around Portland. Now NWFA has a 8000 sq foot facility with two classrooms, a weight room, shower rooms, boxing ring and all of the extras. We have an incredible community that is positive, supportive and always here to help.
