MKG Martial Arts International (MKG Seattle) is the Seattle branch of the world famous Minnesota Kali Group and opened its doors in June 2000. Over 25 years later, MKG Seattle has expanded from adult martial arts and kickboxing to include kids martial arts, fitness boot camps, and CrossFit. MKG branch schools bring the atmosphere, environment, and curriculum of the Minnesota Kali Group to martial artists worldwide, and the MKG-Minnesota Kali Group of schools is described as a truly international network with affiliates and branches in England, Japan, Spain, Scotland, Germany, and the United States.
The program is led by owners and head instructors Andy Wilson and Tammy Wilson, along with instructor Czar P. Andy Wilson holds multiple instructor credentials, including Level 4 Instructor and Panantukan Instructor under Guro Rick Faye, Full Instructor in Filipino Martial Arts and Full Instructor in Jun Fan Martial Arts under Guro Dan Inosanto, Senior Instructor/Ajarn in Thai Boxing under Ajarn Chai Sirisute, CSW Coach Level 1 under Sensei Erik Paulson, Purple Belt in Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Brian Johnson, Silver Glove in Savate under Professor Salem Assli, 5th Level in Bahala Na Escrima under Grandmaster Tony Somera, 1st Degree Black Belt in Chuan Lu Boxing under Sifu Michael Frischman, and Level 3 Protector Certified Self-Defense Instructor for the MKG Women’s Self Defense Program. Tammy Wilson is a Level 2 instructor under Sifu Rick Faye, a senior member on the CORE team, a regular instructor for Body Sculpt, a Full Instructor under Ajarn Chai Sirisute, Thai Boxing Association coordinator at MKG, has passed the red glove test in Savate/French Kickboxing under Professor Salem Assli, and is certified as an instructor for the MKG Women’s Self Defense Program.
The school states that it opened with a mission to help the community get safer and stronger inside and out, and that since opening it has been dedicated to changing lives through martial arts, education, and coaching. It states that it strives to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere for students and family members, and that it takes pride in creating an environment for individuals to achieve, develop, and succeed in their personal goals. It also states a strong belief that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or experience level, and that throughout its programs students learn skill sets to protect themselves through a realistic and practical approach. The school’s motto is “Learn.Play.Sweat.”
MKG Martial Arts International provides martial arts classes to the Seattle, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Lake City, Edmonds, North Seattle, and Northgate communities. Birthday parties are described as suitable for kids with or without martial arts training, with MKG handling the hard work. Self defense and martial arts are described as two different things, and the school offers short courses on the basics of self defense.
Testimonials describe the school as patient with large groups, very hands-on, and offering real world applications for the moves taught in workshops. Other comments state that coaches such as Mandy, Ryan, Steve, Manolito, Brian, and Medwin are helpful with questions and make participants feel welcomed, and one person mentions enjoying the HIIT class. Additional feedback describes the Women’s Self Defense Workshop as a powerful 5-hour course, calls the school “top notch in the Pacific NW,” and notes that instructors take pride in quality organized instruction and encourage students to develop their skills. Another testimonial states that the staff shows professionalism and hospitality and that a participant saw an appreciable increase in overall fitness, and one describes the experience as “amazing.”
