Vincent Geer
Roles: Chief Instructor, Founder, C.E.O., and Board Member.
Bio: Vincent Geer is a Northwest native, born in 1982 in Edmonds WA. At the age of 15 he started training in what would become his life long passion: martial arts. Vincent began working with domestic violence organizations in 2007 and hasn’t looked back since. His greatest accomplishments he lists for himself are “the moments when a student makes a choice that pushes beyond anything they believed they could do before.”
Vinnie is proud to put his knowledge of the martial arts behind him and wear a simple black belt. He doesn’t often speak of his 4th degree black belt, or the countless hours it’s taken in training. What he does talk about is what it takes to end domestic violence. He’s the first to say how his belt color means nothing to those that are being hurt, controlled or abused. Vincent has dedicated his life to ending domestic violence.
