Confidence, especially in our martial arts classes, is the difference between what a child can actually do vs what they think they can do. You’ll see them grow more and more confident, and confront new
challenges both inside and outside of our school.
The most important thing your child will get in our classes is a tremendously positive sense of self. They’ll be able to objectively recognize things they need to improve (homework, family interaction, physical effort), and they’ll take pride in the things they get right. This will be invaluable for them as adults.
If they ever need it, your child will absolutely be able to defend themselves physically. But far more importantly, they’ll be able to fend off the mental onslaught of peer pressure and the emotional weight of bullying and unkind behavior. These are skills they’ll desperately need as they grow older.
If you want your kids to stay healthy, they have to enjoy their exercise. Our classes are so much fun, your child will beg to come. They’ll actually love doing pushups, jumping jacks and crunches. They’ll take pride in their improved flexibility and stamina, and they’ll leave class everyday sweating and smiling.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art based on ground fighting and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission.
The first principle is Ju-No-Ri – gentleness. This can also mean flowing with things. With gentleness as the mindset to guide you, you can practice in a safe way.
The second principle is jita Kyoei – mutual welfare and benefit. This means that all students must be safe and benefit from training. This is the true spirit of training, all students working together for the greater good.
The third principle is called Seiryoku Zenyo – maximum efficiency and minimal effort.
We teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as it was taught to Professor David Dash by Master Marcus Soares who was a first generation student of Carlson Gracie in Brazil.
Amateur MMA for kids is a fun and safe way for young athletes to learn martial arts and self-defense. Our MMA classes focus on building skills, fitness, and teamwork through controlled practice and friendly matches.
During MMA classes Kids wear protective gear, and the emphasis is on safety and learning rather than competition. Kids MMA classes are a great way for children to stay active, boost confidence, and develop discipline in a supportive environment.
At Zen we follow the IMMAF (International Mixed Martial Arts Federation) curriculum. The IMMAF curriculum is a structured program designed to teach and standardize mixed martial arts (MMA) skills and techniques. It focuses on the fundamentals of MMA, including striking, grappling, and cage work, with an emphasis on safety, technique, and progression. The curriculum is used to guide training for amateur fighters, coaches, and officials, ensuring a consistent and high-quality approach to developing skills across different levels and regions. It also includes guidelines for competition, including rules and safety measures, to promote fair and safe practices in the sport.
