Taekwondo and Arnis
True Martial Arts is owned and operated by Sammamish residents Laurel Zoppi and her son, Skyler Zoppi. We are a family-oriented martial arts school that came to the Sammamish Plateau in 1995 after getting our start in Bellevue in 1982. The Zoppi’s were honored with a SAMMI award as owners of a Sammamish enterprise who generously uses their business resources to help support community causes. We offer quality instruction at a reasonable rate for people of all ages. True Martial Arts was named as one of the top 200 Martial Arts schools in North America by Martial Arts Professional magazine.
We combine a modern and progressive curriculum with traditional martial arts values. We teach two unique and complimentary martial arts, Taekwondo and Arnis. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art distinguished by its long & low stances, high kicks, and jumping & flying kicks. The style is great for increased fitness, flexibility, balance, and coordination. It’s one of the most popular styles of martial arts in the United States and the world, with an estimated 70 million practitioners. Arnis is a Filipino weapons and self-defense art. In addition, we teach practical, effective and usable self-defense, Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) techniques.
The scope of our program goes beyond teaching just kicks and punches. We teach our students to approach everything they do in the Black Belt Way, with 100% effort, a positive attitude, and indomitable spirit. We teach life skills that students can put to use every day to become a successful, respectful, and happy person.
