Martial Arts Classes & Programs
We offer some of the best martial art classes in Seattle for kids, teens, adults, and families.
Leo’s Notes
We wrote a book! Leo’s Notes is a fun and innovative children’s book which uses the core tenants of the Family Black Belt Academy curriculum as a tool to teach children listening and focus skills through the telling of Leo’s exciting journey accompanying Master Illiana on her quest to become a grandmaster.
Beyond sport & self-defense
Martial arts train the entirety of an individual, developing physical, mental, and emotional strength.
Seattle's Premier Family Martial Art Community
Emphasizing progress rather than perfection, we challenge each other to strive and be better than we were yesterday, both in and outside the dojo.
“The confidence my girls have gained from their martial art classes is absolutely priceless. My husband and I are ecstatic we found Family Black Belt Academy! We couldn't say enough great things about the school.”
Lynn Baker - Mother, Seattle WA

I do not train to be better than my neighbor. I train to be better than myself from yesterday.
Kids love our camps!
At our camps, kids learn and practice martial arts techniques, play games that keep them physically active, and even have some free time for unstructured play with their peers. They also participate in conversations and activities that address topics ranging from active listening and building empathy to dealing with bullies and how to overcome peer pressure. As always, our programs are designed to teach kids valuable lessons while making sure they have a lot of fun in the process.
