Zenyo Jiu Jitsu

"I can't say enough about how wonderful Zenyo has been for our boys (9 and almost 6). John is a natural with kids - a calming, encouraging and positive presence who brings a genuine joy to his classes and to their open mat time. He is an absolute pro and his authority is serious and silly in turn (you can learn, be challenged AND have fun!)...but the kids always know who's boss. Zenyo is a friendly welcoming, challenging and truly magical experience they'll always remember. So grateful to have found John and the team."

"Training at Zenyo is a must!. Athletes at any level of experience will come to appreciate and greatly benefit from coach John's unique approach to teaching Jiu Jitsu. You'll have tons of fun, feel safe, and progress quickly. John has done a truly impressive job studying, synthesizing, and implementing the most up to date research on how our brains and bodies learn and adapt. Come and try it out- you won't be disappointed (just a bit sweaty)."

"Dropped into Zenyo Jiu Jitsu while traveling for work in July and was very pleased with my time there. Excellent grapplers, extremely welcoming, and a great atmosphere overall!"

"Zenyo is in a class of its own. From the approach to the sport to how welcoming the gym is, John's efforts in revolutionizing the sport are visible. I have trained at various gyms before moving to Baltimore from New York and I have never felt more comfortable at a gym. Dropping in on some of my old gyms when I visit NYC has made me appreciate the environment at Zenyo even more. Whether you are looking to join or dropping in for a class, Zenyo is top tier!"

"I was in Baltimore for work from 2/10/23 - 2/26/23, I managed to train at Zenyo seven or eight times during my work trip. This gym, its instructors, and students were an absolute joy to train with. Extremely hospitable, great training partners, and with a very unique training philosophy. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get started in jiu jitsu or someone who has been training a while and looking for something new. My bjj background, 43 year old purple belt training for 7 years. If I am ever in the area again I will certainly stop by. Thanks to John, Luis, Bryce, Dave, Chrys, and the rest of the team."
