STYLES WE TEACH
Designed and Tested for Success
At Pacific Rim, We teach six distinct yet complementary modern martial arts; Kodokan Judo, Nihon Jujutsu, Tomiki Aikido, JuSoolKwan Hapkido, ChungDoKwan TaeKwonDo and Ryushin Shouchi Ryu Iaido.
While many of our students specialize in one art, most enjoy training in more than one art to enrich their experience.
HAPKIDO
AIKIDO
TAE KWON DO
JUDO
IAIDO
JUJUTSU
Jigoro Kano taught us that through Judo each person can develop a strong character. At Pacific Rim, students are committed to becoming true judoka, and I could truly feel their dedication to training and making deep friendships through mutual prosperity.
Pacific Rim is a great dojo with many tatami, world-class equipment and a beautiful building. Students practice hard with respect and seriousness and I could see their love for learning Judo. I can’t wait to return and teach at Pacific Rim again.
Mike Martyn has a Japanese soul. I have met many instructors from around the world, but he is different. He understands Kano’s vision for judo and is a true judoka. I am happy to know him.
At Pacific Rim you have a chance to learn martial arts from a very diligent and sincere instructor. In all my travels, I have never seen such a great and beautiful dojo and my dream is to one day own such a wonderful dojo. I highly recommend Pacific Rim!
