Program Details

Here at The W.O.W. Academy (Way of Warriors), we pride ourselves in sharing the knowledge and wisdom of two powerful art forms that help us balance our masculine (yang) and femenine (yin) energy:

YANG: Martial arts with Jay. Martial arts have proven to be the most transformational healing mechanism I've ever known.

I'll be teaching the martial arts I've learned over the past 10 years of my experience (boxing, wrestling, and BJJ) in order to keep bringing the knowledge to those who seek it. In return, I ask only for feedback (via reviews, video footage, etc.) on how the experience has had an effect on you.

If you happen to have experience in ANY martial art whatsoever, you’ll have the oportunity of sharing your knowledge with me and others who wish to learn.


YIN: Yoga with Silvia. My specialty, Kundalini yoga, consists of deep breathwork, dynamic movement and meditation practices designed to awaken you body’s vital energy. This will grant you a strong mental clarity and body awarness that translate smoothly into the martial arts.

If you have experience in other types of yoga, you are more than welcome to share your skills here as well!

The ultimate goal here is to share knowledge and wisdom with those who know / wish to experience the power and expression of their inner warrior. To learn alternate ways of healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, etc. through a more healthy, grounded manner.


Activities & Shift

Aside from training, other daily tasks will consist of our few, very basic house chores:

- Cooking
- Cleaning
- Watering Plants
- Feeding Animals
- Maintaining an overall cleanly, good-vibes environment

This helps us to collectively maintain the 300 year old house together.
