Jesse Conley is a phenomenal teacher and martial artist. Patient, good natured, unyielding and quite formidable; Jesse provides an excellent class atmosphere that while fun is quite challenging and yields remarkable results. One of the few teachers of internal martial arts that really gets results, and even fewer who are qualified to teach this particularly rare art.
FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first sit down with them and find out their past experience and their goals, also finding out about any injuries I need to be aware of. Then we train together during class, each new student getting a ton a private attention during the class to help them get their feet under them and keep up with the class.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've trained all over the world doing these arts and have learned many different aspects of it, each one being helpful to some people, no matter their goals.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
We charge $80 per month for all the lessons you can attend and open mat access as well! We don't believe in contracts or forcing people to attend only certain classes so the whole school is open to help each student reach their goal!
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching after I moved back from the Wudang Temple in 2005. I realized how special the arts I learned are and how much they could help the people in my community!
What types of students have you worked with?
All different backgrounds and ages.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We held a women's self defense class that was really successful and we had a great time!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
ALWAYS check the teacher's background and story. Research their art online and find out if the teacher is truly certified and finished his training.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I would suggest not thinking about the style itself but finding out what specific goals you have and asking the teacher how their art can help you achieve them!
