Kids Kung Fu Academy

At Zen Martial Arts (ZMA), we believe that the path of martial arts is not just about physical training but also about strengthening the mind and spirit. Our philosophy is centered around teaching practical and efficient self-defense techniques that cover all ranges, including punching, kicking, throwing, choking, locks, submissions, and grappling. We provide a safe and clean environment for students of all ages and skill levels to learn and grow.

Our Programs

We offer a variety of programs tailored to meet the needs of our students. Our Adult Programs focus on fitness and self-defense, with classes designed to improve cardiovascular health, flexibility, strength training, and meditation. Our Youth Programs are dynamic and high-energy, specifically targeted to the needs of each age group. We also have a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program that teaches students how to use leverage and proper technique to overcome larger opponents. Meditation and T'ai Chi classes are also available for those seeking a more spiritual approach to martial arts.

What Sets Us Apart

At ZMA, we emphasize working together as partners, not opponents. This philosophy promotes mutual growth and understanding rather than competition. Our instructors are masters of disguising repetition, ensuring that every class is both challenging and fun. We focus on developing muscle memory through technique-based workouts and believe that a balance between traditional techniques and modern training methods is key to success. Our goal is not to create world champions but students who are champions in their own worlds, by increasing concentration, reducing stress, and raising confidence.

Locations

We have two locations in Michigan: Woodward Avenue in Berkley and Rochester. Both locations offer a range of classes and are overseen by experienced instructors. Whether you're looking to improve your physical fitness, learn self-defense techniques, or explore the spiritual aspects of martial arts, we have something for everyone.
