Robert Moore
Bob was born to Roy and Pat Moore on February 23, 1954 in Burlington, Iowa and lost his battle to COVID-19 on May 1, 2020 in Puyallup, Washington. Bob grew up in Iowa and at the age of 18 joined the 82nd Airborne division of the Army. After serving his term, Bob was honorably discharged as a sergeant. During his time in the Army, Bob gained a passion around martial art
s where he learned Jeet Kune Do from some of Bruce Lee’s original students.
After the Army Bob returned to Iowa where he met his future wife Jill, and they moved to Seattle on a whim.
While in Seattle, Bob earned a bachelor’s degree and an MBA while beginning to start a family where their only son Robert “Robby” Moore was born. Bob continued to share his passion of martial arts by establishing his own school which started in his garage and eventually moved into a 
dedicated space. Bob was considered one of the top Jeet Kune Do instructors in the Pacific Northwest where people would travel across the area to train with him and even international students, police forces and football players would seek out his instruction.
Bob taught not only martial arts but also numerous team sports for his son Robby and instilled a tough mentality to never give up, and to keep a positive outlook on life. Outside of martial arts, Bob enjoyed skiing, hiking and spending time with his family.
He is survived by his son Robby (Carmen), grandson Max, brothers Tom (Deb) and Mike. Bob believed in celebrating life, not mourning it, so raise a glass in his memory.
