Founder of Seacoast Family Martial Arts

Isshin Ryu is known for its quick, efficient movements and powerful strikes, a style I’ve dedicated myself to for over two decades.

My martial arts journey has taken me across the world, training with respected instructors and learning directly from those connected to the art’s roots.

As both a mother and a longtime member of the Seacoast community, it was important to me to create a school where families feel welcome, supported, and inspired.

Today, Seacoast Family Martial Arts reflects that vision—a place where discipline, diversity, and growth come together.

Strength Through Diversity

At Seacoast Family Martial Arts, students explore a variety of styles—from traditional Okinawan Kobudo, with weapons like the bo staff and sai, to practical modern self-defense. What inspires me most as an instructor is watching students of all ages and abilities grow into their best selves.

I often remind them, a philosophy that builds resilience on and off the mat. Our community is beautifully diverse, and every student, from beginners to champions, finds encouragement and support here..
