I started Brazilian jiu-jitsu in November 2019. I had never participated in any martial arts discipline before, and was joining with the intentions of trying something new, making new friends, and developing my physical and spiritual health.Since my first class, I have looked forward to every session with Sifu Brown and enjoy his teaching, camaraderie, and creativity.

Both of our children have attended Zen Martial Arts since they were six years old. For the past eight years, our kids have been taught not just martial arts, but also discipline, respect and commitment. Tough but fair, Sifu Brown has a clear passion for teaching. He clearly cares for his students yet has high expectations for their performance both in and outside of the dojo.
