Jennifer Jordan
Amber Haskell
Naomi Zingman-Daniels

Jennifer has been training and teaching Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen and Indonesian martial arts for nearly 30 years in both the US and Europe. She has taught adults and children of all ages and all abilities at schools, corporations, universities, not-for-profit organizations.

​Jennifer believes deeply in helping people access their own power in the world by improving their fitness and health, learning self defense skills and tapping into their intuition and awareness. When she is not training Jennifer is an early stage venture capitalist focused on helping entrepreneurs grow stellar companies.


​Amber has been training since she was 10 years old. What started as a way for her to learn more about her Indonesian heritage turned into training at different Poekoelan schools across the world. Amber’s early training made her a strong believer in making sure that every child has a voice and the ability to protect themselves no matter how big or small they are.

​She believes in the importance of not only learning how to physically defend yourself, but also how to use principles of training in daily life. When Amber is not training, she is a Corporate Citizenship Coordinator helping bring together corporations and non-profits.


Naomi has been training Poekoelan for 12 years on both coasts of the U.S. She has taught for the last ten, with a specific focus on teaching children with special physical and mental needs to help keep the art accessible to all who want to train.

​Naomi hopes to continue her training and teaching here in Boston and wherever her life takes her in the next few years as she prepares to graduate from Northeastern University and pursue a career in research.
