Zen is locked down until April 30th - We look forward to reopening again on May 1st
What We Teach
The Zen MMA kickboxing program is based on the discipline of authentic Muay Thai as taught and practiced in Thailand. Muay Thai is one of the oldest and most effective forms of kickboxing and is unique in allowing punches, kicks, knees, elbows, clinch fighting, throws, and take downs. While many forms of modern kickboxing are limited to punches and kicks such as K-1.
