Great Way Martial Arts is far from your average martial arts school and we continue always to do our best to evolve, innovate, and create not compete. Our mission is about joyfully inspiring the mental and physical well-being of every individual and family involved locally and globally. With the mantra of "I can, I must, I will" leading the way Great Way is and has been supporting positive lasting change since 1993. 

The name "Great Way" came from 2 sources. First the term "Great Way" means "the Tao" or "path" or "the great path." Second, it has been the phrase most used to describe the benefits and effects of being in the classes I.E. "It is a Great Way to get in shape."

Offering exercise and self-defense is just the beginning at Great Way. Great Way is about lasting positive change, personal development, goal setting, and perseverance, which are achieved by being an intelligent follower and developing strong self-discipline muscles. Great Way's definition of discipline is simply giving yourself a command and following it.

Great Way offers on-location classes, and online courses, plus group and personal coaching. Every class and course has mental and physical benefits. Great Way's guiding philosophy is always putting the needs of the student, client, and customer first. We help our clients define their goals and show them how they can achieve what they truly desire. Kung Fu is about always doing your best.

One thing we all have in common is we all want "more". More health, better fitness, more peace, better attitude, more confidence, better self-discipline, etc. To get "more", habits need to evolve and beliefs need to be questioned. Lasting change or a "Paradigm Shift" can only happen one of 2 ways. The least desirable way is an emotional impact, usually negative like 9/11. The second way is repetition with elite-type coaching, Great Way's specialty.
