About us

At Forge Martial Arts, we believe in more than just teaching self-defense — we forge strong minds, confident hearts, and disciplined spirits. Founded by longtime martial artist Jacob Maldonado, Forge Martial Arts is built on the timeless principles of Kung Fu San Soo, an art rooted in practicality, adaptability, and personal growth.

At Forge Martial Arts we are dedicated to sharing the life-changing benefits of Kung Fu San Soo. Our approach blends traditional techniques with modern teaching methods to help students of all ages develop focus, confidence, and resilience — skills that extend far beyond the training floor.

At the heart of Forge Martial Arts lies a commitment to community and character. Every class is designed not only to teach effective self-defense, but also to inspire integrity, respect, and personal responsibility. Through the preservation and passing down of Kung Fu San Soo, we aim to create a positive impact — one student, one family, and one community at a time.
