If striking, dynamic shielding, and deflections are the nuts and bolts of Tsun Jo… then sticking is the soul of the art.

In real self-defense, close-range matters most.
It’s chaotic, fast, and unforgiving.
That’s why we train sticking and trapping—the art of pressure control.

By learning to stick to your opponent, you gain:
✅ Immediate feedback on their movement
✅ The ability to trap or shut down follow-ups
✅ Control over pressure, balance, and timing

Most systems leave a giant gap at this range—leaving you vulnerable to:
⚠️ Strikes
⚠️ Grabs
⚠️ Getting overwhelmed

Tsun Jo fills that gap with precision. Here, at Greenlake Martial Arts, you’ll learn how to dominate the close range—where self-defense actually happens.

This is a skill. It must be developed. And once you feel it—you’ll never want to fight without it.

Come train the soul of the art with Tsun Jo system founder, Sijo John Beall.
