“Jen is amazing! She has dedicated the better part of her life to learning and teaching martial arts and self defense. She facilitates and fosters a welcoming and fun learning environment while focusing on very relevant and necessary defense concepts. She has a well rounded background involving traditional martial arts combined with modern submission grappling and MMA. This is what allows Jennifer to offer useful information and instruction to a wide variety of students. Although her current focus is on teaching untrained women, Jen also has the ability to offer advanced self defense training to experienced martial artists. While she is very skilled, Jen has the humility of a true martial artist. Anyone who feels anxious or intimidated by the thought of beginning martial arts classes will quickly feel at ease around her. I recommend anyone seeking to begin self defense classes for the first time or to expand their current skill set to give Jennifer a call and get started. You will not be disappointed.”

“Today I took a former soccer player to workout with Jennifer McNutt. This young lady is 16 years old, an amazing athlete but still has some room to grow in regards to confidence. When we walked into Jennifer’s session she not only greeted us with a warm smile, she had an energy about her that was instantly calming and comforting. Jennifer’s patience, knowledge, coaching and ability to engage my former player was amazing. Throughout our 1.5 hour session Jennifer’s nonjudgmental and encouraging approach transformed the way my former player was carrying herself. She trusted Jennifer and started to believe in herself. There is not doubt the confidence she had walking out the door was dramatically different than the confidence she had when we walked in. We will be back and I can’t say enough about what a positive experience this was for both of us.”
