The practice of Jiu Jitsu indeed shows why we use the word “art” in martial arts. Jiu Jitsu is a disciplined involving skillful use of leverage and grappling on the ground to engage an opponent. The nature of Jiu Jitsu requires just as much exercise of mental technique and focus as it does for the physical side of it. It’s almost like a chess match. No matter what, we have to respect the mental skills of our opponent. Zen Martial Arts is passionate about developing our student’s abilities in the art of Jiu Jitsu through safe and empowering experiences.

Zen Martial Arts emphasizes the values of patience, discipline, effort, and mental focus just as much as we teach physical technique. That’s why our Baby Buddhas program has become so popular among parents and our young students alike.

Children have a blast when offered the opportunity to be energetic and explore their hand-eye coordination. Allowing them to be active with friends their age helps them appreciate the need to be patient when it’s not their turn and to use focus when learning a new skill. Our classes have a fantastic balance for kids 3 and 4 years old and a joyful experience every time.
