We have an amazing kids program

Welcome to The Martial Arts Center — TMAC, proudly serving Roslyn/Cle Elum and Ellensburg, Washington.

At TMAC, our mission goes far beyond teaching people how to fight. We’re building confident kids, capable adults, competitive athletes, and a strong martial arts community through our Kids Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Striking, and Mixed Martial Arts programs.

TMAC is led by Coach Jared Sluman, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Marcelo Alonso in Seattle and former amateur MMA champion in Yakima. Jared began training martial arts as a kid and spent years traveling, training, competing, coaching, and learning from martial artists around the world. Today, that experience is poured directly into every TMAC program.

More Than Martial Arts for Kids

Our kids program is designed to help children grow both on and off the mats.

Yes, your child will learn practical martial arts and self-defense skills—but they’ll also develop confidence, discipline, balance, coordination, athleticism, and the ability to stay calm and focused under pressure.

Parents are part of the process, too. Our students work on positive habits at home such as listening, respect, helping with chores, healthy routines, personal responsibility, and following directions. Their progress at home can be recognized and rewarded at the academy, giving kids another reason to take pride in doing the right things.

And most importantly—they have fun doing it.

Classes combine real martial arts instruction with drills, games, exercise, teamwork, and achievable goals so kids can make friends, stay active, earn their promotions, and look forward to getting back on the mats.

Train Your Way

Adults, you don't have to walk through our doors already knowing exactly what kind of martial artist you want to become.

Don't like striking? Grapple.

Don't want to grapple? Strike.

Want to learn everything? Train MMA.

Whether your goal is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, striking, MMA, self-defense, competition, fitness, or simply finding a new hobby/friends and community, talk to one of our coaches. We'll help build your training around your goals.

For students who want to accelerate their development, TMAC also offers private lessons for more focused, one-on-one instruction.

Competition Tested

For those interested in taking martial arts further, TMAC has an established Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program and MMA fight team. Our athletes actively train and compete, including our fight team's recent appearance on a sold-out MMA event in Vancouver, Washington.

Competition isn't required at TMAC—but for the students who want it, the pathway is here.

Whether you're a parent looking for something special for your child, an adult stepping onto the mats for the first time, or an experienced martial artist looking for a new home, there is a place for you at TMAC.

Come meet our coaches, experience the atmosphere, and see what martial arts can do for you and your family.

We look forward to seeing you on the mats.

Ouss

This is where it all begins. This program is designed for young kids who are just starting to understand how to move their bodies, follow instructions, and build focus. Through structured activities, basic martial arts movements, active games and engaging drills, kids develop coordination, balance, and confidence in a safe and positive environment.

More than anything, this class is about teaching respect, focus, staying calm, how to stay on task, and how to be part of a group. We keep things fun, but always with purpose—helping each child build the foundation of discipline, respect, and self-control that will carry over into school, sports, and everyday life.

Ages 7-17

This program for kids who are ready to move, learn, and challenge themselves—but still need an environment that is very fun and fast paced. These kids have a shorter attention span than the adults, but are more mature than the “tinies”. They are capable of more advanced drills, they want the martial arts, but also require the games to stay focused and having fun. If these kids aren’t having fun- they immediately tune out- then they are bored- and want to leave. So- this class has to stay fast paced and engaging.

In this class, kids build confidence through movement, teamwork, and skill development. They’ll learn striking, grappling basics, and controlled partner drills, all while staying active and having fun. It’s the perfect balance between discipline and enjoyment—helping them grow physically, mentally, and socially.

Private lessons currently range from students ages 18, and 62! These sessions are the fastest way to improve. Each session is built entirely around you—your goals, your pace, and your skill level. Whether you’re brand new or already experienced, you’ll get focused, one-on-one coaching with an “UKE” or training partner, designed to sharpen your technique and accelerate progress.

Train in gi or no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, or Muay Thai, MMA or for fitness/Weight loss, with instruction shaped by real-world experience. Having trained in both Thailand and Brazil, you’ll be learning authentic, proven techniques—not watered-down versions. These one-hour sessions are precise, efficient, and personalized to help you build skill, confidence, and real ability on the mat or on your feet.

All kids programs come with the “at home program”. We will give you the paperwork when you come in. Ask one of our experienced coaches how is works, or just come sit in on a class and and watch, and see for yourself. This is the real meat and potatoes of the program. This is what helps the parents and the kids to grow. Call for more info.

ADULTS

The Adults program is built for everyone—whether you’re stepping on the mat for the first time, getting back into shape, or already experienced in martial arts. We offer a mix of boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Ju Jitsu and wrestling lead by a black belt and by ACTIVE MMA fighters. In here we workout, warm up, focus on wrestling, boxing and MMA. Optional sparring and contact. You don’t have to do anything you dont feel comfortable doing. Safe, regulated sparring and drills with full padding and protection. We try to avoid pushing people too hard and to avoid excess head contact/trauma, by limiting face shot sparring to those that do want to spar that way, but not for everyone. We go for longevity, not ‘gym wars!’ Again, sparring is not for all of our members.

The environment is welcoming and so respectful. You can come in for a great workout, learn self-defense, or push yourself through higher-level training when you’re ready. Most importantly build friendships, learn self defense and be in the the good energy environment surrounded by respect.
