For families · Ages 5 and up
A structured class that builds real confidence, focus, and de-escalation skills in a room that takes safety as seriously as you do. Coach Wen runs the kids program. Parents see the change at home, fast.
100% free · No card required · Parents always welcome on the floor.
Real confidence and de-escalation tools learned from a position of physical capability. The kid who knows what to do is the kid who doesn't have to.
Sustained attention is a muscle. Forty-five minutes of structured drilling, twice a week, transfers directly to homework and the classroom.
Bow in, bow out. Look an instructor in the eye. Help your training partner up. We model it. Kids absorb it.
Coordination, strength, balance, and a cardiovascular base built through play, not punishment. They sleep better the nights they train.
You can't learn Jiu-Jitsu by yourself. Real partnerships form on the mat. Kids leave with a circle of friends who care about each other's progress.
Motivating, visible milestones. Every stripe earned is a moment a kid points to and says I worked for that.
An introduction to the mat through play. Motor skills, body awareness, listening cues, and basic movement patterns taught as games. Forty-five minutes that feel like ten, and end with a high-five from a coach who remembers your kid's name.
The core years. Stranger-danger awareness, basic takedowns, positional grappling, guard and mount, and the BJJ belt-progression system. The age range where kids start to feel competent. Stripes are earned, not given.
Advanced technique. Conditioning. Strategy. Real-world self-defense scenarios. The path to adult competition and advanced belt ranks. The age where Jiu-Jitsu stops being an after-school activity and becomes a part of who they are.
A Parent's Note
My son has been training at ZEN for eight months. He's more confident, more focused at school, and he's made friends on the mat I think he'll have for life. The coaches genuinely care about the kids.

Real Experiences, Real Results
"Zen Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the place to train! I've never done any combat or contact sports before but coming to Zen has really helped me understand the basics and learn more as I keep going. The teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. The people who train there are also very friendly. If you're like me and want to try out martial arts, I'd definitely recommend coming to Zen BJJ."
"Been coming here for a few months, the amount of knowledge I've retained in that short time is a testament to Coach Wen and the program he put together. His gym is clean. He preaches safety first and is able to break moves down so everyone is able to understand the task at hand. Bonus, his judo classes are awesome. You cannot go wrong with Zen BJJ! Would give 6 stars if I could."
"I was totally nervous about trying jiu-jitsu, but Wen and everyone at the gym is so welcoming for people of all levels of experience & all ages. And my kids loved flipping me over! It was really fun!"

"We are so grateful for this community. We started my daughter there when they first opened up back in November of 2024 and I can't believe the progress she has made from then until now. It's incredible to watch her and the rest of the kids that consistently show up. She would go every day if she could. Coach Wen and the staff are phenomenal. I highly recommend this gym to any family!"

"I've been to several BJJ gyms over the years, and as far as I can tell, Zen is a fantastic place to train. The people were super welcoming from day one (and there's a good number of women who frequently train there yay!) and the mats are nice and clean. They've got a variety of instructors who will teach old school moves, more modern techniques, wrestling, and even Judo to make for a well-rounded grappling experience. The schedule is flexible with mid-day classes and afternoon classes all week, so you're really getting your money's worth with an all-inclusive membership if you hit as many classes as possible. It's a relatively small gym, but they've got great competition at all levels."
"Zen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is everything you could want in a martial arts school and more. Wen, the owner, along with the other instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, offering personalized guidance whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner. The facility is clean, well-organized, and has a great energy. They balance technical instruction with a focus on mindset and personal growth. It's not just about learning to roll — it's about building confidence, discipline, and resilience. If you're looking for a place to train that feels like family and pushes you to be your best, Zen BJJ is it. Highly recommend giving it a try — you won't regret it!"
"Zen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is absolutely top-notch! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by an incredibly supportive and respectful community. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also excellent teachers — they break down techniques clearly and ensure everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, feels comfortable and challenged. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, creating the perfect environment for training.
