  Northwest Kickboxing is headed by Sifu/ Guro Christopher Clarke. Clarke began martial arts training in hard style Japanese karate at the age of 18. After only a few short months of traditional training in 1984, he was introduced to the dynamic blend of martial arts training of the Inosanto group through another NW instructor, Cliff Lenderman. Clarke received his Apprentice Instructor certificate in November of 1987. In the summer of 1989 he began travelling to Los Angeles to train directly under Inosanto and his group of dedicated students.
Today, Sifu Clarke is the only certified Full Instructor in the Pacific Northwest authorized by Dan Inosanto to teach and promote the Filipino Martial Arts and Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu / Jeet Kune Do.
Clarke is also an affiliate of the Thai Boxing Association of the USA headed by Ajarn Surachai Sirisute. Clarke holds the position of Washington State TBA/USA Representative. He also holds Instructor ratings from noted instructors Erik Paulson and Burt Richardson.
As a contract instructor for the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, Clarke has had the chance to train officers and deputies from city, county, state and even federal agencies. He is routinely acknowledged as one of the top-rated civilian instructors in the area for his contributions to the training of law enforcement.
Published in Inside Kung Fu and Tactical Knives magazines Clarke has also been featured on the cover of Full Contact magazine and is nationally recognized as an authority on Kali/JKD. |
