Attitudes are the only true disability

The goal of Ability Unlimited is to not only provide adaptive Martial Arts instruction to students with special challenges, but also to encourage personal growth in all of our students in the areas of self-confidence, leadership and general character development.
 
Ability Unlimited was founded by Sensei Cheryl Wieser to assist specially challenged students to realize their full potential, not only as individuals, but also to by providing the opportunity for these unique and highly motivated students to realize their dreams and abilities as athletes.
 
The instruction offered through Ability Unlimited is designed to structure a program for the individual needs of each student.  We emphasis instruction for specially challenged students; however, we welcome students of all abilities. The Ability Unlimited instructors, include Sensei Cheryl Wieser, Sensei Misha Carter and Shihan Ron Robles,  who have combined Martial Arts experience totaling almost 100 years!
 
Sensei Wieser has been a student of the Martial Arts since 1981, a practicing teacher of Karate since 1994 and has been teaching specially challenged students since 1997.  She is a National and International Gold Medal Competitor and is a multiple inductee of the Eastern USA International Martial Arts Association Black Belt Hall of Fame.  In addition, she has almost 30 years of experience as a Security Specialist for the U.S. Government, with special emphasis on workplace violence and personal safety.
 
This unique Martial Arts program is now in its sixth year and is held at Calvin Presbyterian Church, 18826 3rd Ave NW , Shoreline, WA 98133.
