Welcome to Miller's Martial Arts Academy!
Miller’s Martial Arts Academy has deep roots in the Kirkland community. For decades, we’ve worked with local families, schools, Kirkland Parks & Recreation, and community organizations throughout the Eastside.
While martial arts schools have come and gone, we’ve remained committed to the same community and the same mission: helping people become better versions of themselves.
MORE THAN MARTIAL ARTS
Our programs are designed to meet students where they are. For younger children, that may mean learning to listen, focus, follow directions, and develop confidence. For older students and adults, martial arts provides challenging training, practical skills, physical fitness, and a community of people committed to improving together.
Whether your family is brand new to martial arts or you’re an experienced student looking for a place to train, we invite you to come see what has made Miller’s Martial Arts Academy a Kirkland tradition for 30 years.
We’re conveniently located in Kirkland near 85th Street and 122nd Ave NE, serving families throughout Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, Bothell, Woodinville, and the surrounding Eastside.

Wing Chun Do --Seattle Era Jeet Kune Do
Long before “mixed martial arts” became a recognized sport, Korbett Miller was training in a complete approach to fighting—combining kicking, punching, takedowns, and early grappling skills.
After graduating from college and moving to Seattle in 1993, Korbett lived and trained with James DeMile, one of Bruce Lee’s original Seattle students, and became DeMile’s traveling instructor. At just 23 years old, DeMile awarded Korbett the title of Sibok (Senior Instructor), an event captured in the accompanying video.
Korbett traveled throughout the United States and abroad with DeMile, teaching and training. He also served on the Board of Directors of Wing Chun Do and, in 1994, was featured on the cover of Combat Magazine in the United Kingdom.
On the left are photos of Korbett and James DeMile taken throughout the years, reflecting a relationship that continued long after those early days—including DeMile teaching clinics at Miller’s Martial Arts Academy.
