KICKBOXING FOR SENSITIVE PEOPLE

the path is a guided martial arts journey that meets you where you are and removes the unseen obstacles that block you from showing up

you will leave each class feeling centered, strong, and more like yourself

Get Started

You know moving your body reduces stress and improves your mental health, but it can feel intimidating to go to a movement class as a person who is sensitive, neurodivergent, or recovering from trauma (or all three).

We meet you where you are and invite you into a fun, connective martial arts experience — with a step-by-step process, friendly training partners, and the personalized feedback you need to cross each threshold in our unique program.

“The overall vibes were so supportive and I felt like I could show up as I am. I have never truly been met where I am when starting a new gym, workout class, or other practices before.”
— Rachel

This is for you if…

If any of the following apply, you may already be a Tender Warrior:

  • You have a hard time getting out of your head and into your body

  • You give way too many fucks — like, a debilitating amount of fucks

  • You have big feelings that sometimes derail you

  • Yoga moves too slow for your mind and everything else moves too fast for your body

  • You get really bored or lose focus in workout classes

  • You just want to yell — like, all the time

  • You thrive in supportive environments that truly see and value your gifts

You might need a longer runway, but everyone can be a martial artist.

Connect to your mind, body, heart, and essence to cultivate resilience

Quiet your mind

Layer 1: Cultivate focus as you practice mindful movement

Root in your body

Layer 2: Cultivate presence as you learn to embody each technique

Find your flow

Layer 3: Cultivate connection, in yourself, and in fun partner drills

Bring your fire

Layer 4: Cultivate authenticity as you find your unique expression of the art

tender warrior is a practice of gentle strength and fierce compassion

  • We strongly recommend attending at least two classes per week. We understand everyone has crazy schedules though. If you can make one week night per week and at least two Saturday’s per month that is workable.

  • Our process is designed to meet you where you are and build your strength, stability, and balance. We empower one another to listen to our bodies and define our appropriate level of challenge.

  • There are no contracts, but as we make an investment in all new members we request you make a personal commitment for at least three months of training.
