Fight Club
ZEN FIGHT CLUB is Ottawa’s unconventional martial arts group,

our dojo you’ll experience Zen style meditation followed by
a rock-n-roll-fueled athletic workout and individually-focused, street-wise
instruction (aided by smaller class sizes). Our mission is to empower
our members to harness their inner warrior – in life, in competition,
and in self-defense – on a journey of profound personal development.
