Mission

Martial Arts in the Public Interest dba Quantum Martial Arts Seattle and Quantum Martial Arts Tacoma has a mission to reveal personal strengths and interconnect diverse communities through the joyful pursuit of Quantum Martial Arts. Located in Seattle and Tacoma WA, we operate two community martial arts dojos. We bring people together to learn a unique style of martial arts in a welcoming, non-competitive environment. Our style focuses on empowerment, practical self-defense, and revealing personal strength. The style is the creation of Master Rachael Evans, who has been exploring and expanding her martial arts for over 40 years. We provide an intense, fun exercise, and Quantum is more than just a workout. Quantum's outreach programs change the lives of children and adults in various places in Washington. In 2025, we built out and opened Quantum Tacoma.
