Janesa Kruse is a martial artist and teacher known for her passion, talent and strength. Janesa, a sixth-degree Black Belt, has remained active in training, fighting and teaching. She began her martial arts training at age 21. 

In 1980-81 she was rated among the top 10 women fighters in national point fighting by Karate Illustrated. She was the first woman to fight in the Northwest region in the men's black belt division for overall grand champion and team fighting. Janesa is thankful to have had the opportunity to fight with the best of her time, earning the respect of her peers. Seeking to better herself and find a true art, she trained with a few exceptional martial artists including Professor Remy Presas, founder of Modern Arnis.

During the 1980's Janesa was a trainer at the National Women's Martial Arts Federation camp where she met and trained with Mas Goeroe Agoeng Barbara Niggel who introduced her to Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen. She was so inspired by Poekoelan's beauty, purity and depth that she chose to devote herself completely to training and teaching Poekoelan.

In 1981 she opened her first school, Women With Heart Fighting Arts on N. Williams in Portland, Oregon. She helped marian van leeuwen start a Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen school in Amsterdam, which today is run by her students in Holland. Janesa partnered with women in Holland to develop women's self-defense trainings. She has taught internationally and locally and has worked with Adult and Family Services, colleges, businesses and non-profits to bring self-defense training to women throughout Oregon.

In 1984 Janesa changed her school's name to One With Heart and moved it to S.E. Hawthorne. In 2008 she acquired a second school in the St. Johns area. At both locations she provides high quality, authentic martial arts and fitness training in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

Janesa is a creative, knowledgeable teacher who sees the highest potential in every person and has an intuitive ability to guide her students to achieve more than they thought possible. She teaches through the example of her life. Her commitment to her art and the empowerment of all people inspires her students to find the best in themselves and in others.
