ABOUT YOUR
INSTRUCTOR/FACILITATOR
My name is Jaime Freeman and I have been training and teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 22 years. The tradition of Taekwondo taught me how to set achievable goals, in both the short and long term, taught me that failure is a natural part of the learning process, instilled in me the “white belt mentality” knowing there is ALWAYS more to learn and personal growth is a life-long process and sparked in me a passion for helping others in their journey to personal growth through training.
​
As the owner and Chief Instructor of Martial Arts Academy Prague I saw the benefits of training in students of all ages and over time came to realize that students were learning to become RESILIENT through the lens of our training, a skill that spread to all areas of their lives.
​
I have been fortunate to be able to teach these essential life skills to a wide range of participants. From PE classes on self-defense for middle school and high school to corporate speaking events on the importance of awareness to “safe at work” workshops for hotel and hostel workers as well as specialized workshops for organizations supporting refugees and survivors of human trafficking.
​
Opening a new chapter of life back in Seattle: The goal of Resilience Northwest is to bring my years of experience to individuals, small groups, schools, organizations and corporations in a format that makes sense for each group. In this way, to continue to pursue my passion of helping participants find their confidence and resilience to live a life they CHOOSE rather than a life limited by fear.

VOICES OF RESILIENCE
“Mrs Freeman
demonstrates unparalleled expertise
in her field. Her deep understanding of martial arts
techniques and practical self-defense strategies is
matched by her ability to teach these skills effectively
to students of all levels.
She creates a dynamic and supportive training environment that motivates her students to achieve their personal best. Throughout
my training, Mrs Freeman consistently exhibited professionalism, dedication, and a genuine passion for martial arts. She tailored her teaching methods to suit the unique needs and capabilities of each student, ensuring that everyone could progress and succeed. Her emphasis on discipline, respect, and perseverance not only improved my physical abilities but also significantly enhanced my self-confidence and mental resilience. Mrs Freemans’ seminars were particularly impactful, offering real-world self-defense tactics
that were practical and easy to learn. Her clear and concise instruction, combined with hands-on practice, left me
feeling well-prepared and more secure
in various situations.”

"Our hospitality company,
BoHo Co, worked with Jaime multiple
times and we were very satisfied with the results. We operate multiple hotels and bars and it is important to us that our employees have professional training on how to handle conflict situations. We have found that after training with Jaime, our staff had much greater confidence in their overall security awareness, boundary setting and de-escalation capabilities. Jaime also introduced some basic self-defense techniques which further increased our employees' poise and certainty when dealing with difficult people.
I would gladly recommend Jaime to anyone who values their employees' safety and security."
