Our story
Train with Zenyo
Hi, I’m John David Emmett, the owner and head instructor of Zenyo Jiu Jitsu. I’ve trained in martial arts for the past 22 years and have dedicated my life to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I’ve been blessed to work with amazing teachers who’ve taught me incredible lessons — what I’ve come to realize are superpowers. I want to share these lessons with you so that you, too, can have superpowers.
You are made to do this. You are made to do awesome things. They are not beyond your reach or ability. Awesome things are not the exception, they are the rule, if a space is created for them to happen.This is what we are creating at Zenyo: A space for you to be awesome.
I hope you will join us on this journey. As we work together to create a jiu jitsu environment that embraces both teamwork and individualism, the more awesome we all become. Ready? I know you are. You are made to be up for any challenge.
