GROW IN CONFIDENCE, COMMUNITY AND SKILL AT ZENYO

If you’ve been looking for a way to build your self-confidence, work through difficult emotions, and find community with other like-minded women, jiu jitsu might be the place for you.

Perhaps recent events in our world have left you feeling powerless and out-of-control and you’re looking for a place to channel your frustration and anger.

Or maybe you’ve had an interest in martial arts but were intimidated by being one of the few, if the only, woman among a group of intense, strong men.

Or you’re looking for an energy-boosting adrenaline rush of a workout in the comfort of a women-only space.

Zenyo Jiu Jitsu’s women’s class will support you to practice the basics of jiu jitsu and self-defense in community with women in a fun, safe, non-judgmental environment. 

Brazilian jiu jitsu is an ideal martial art for women because it emphasizes a responsive approach to aggression and minimizes harm. Jiu Jitsu primarily uses non-striking, wrestling techniques that diminish using brute strength, which enables women to use leverage against opponents.
