OUR ROOTS
Zen Tennis is built on a foundation of discovery, practice and research created by tennis professionals Jason Nius and Perry Allen. Having spent the majority of their court time in Southern heat, the longtime friends know that comfort is essential for a positive tennis performance. They also learned that to achieve the focus needed for success and enjoyment on the court, a player needs to embody a relaxed self. Research has shown that a meditative mind helps players with accuracy, fluidity and power, and it was the search for the mindset that led the duo to form Zen Tennis. After much research and testing, Nius and Allen found that a fabric blend of bamboo and organic cotton was the perfect combination to help players find their Zen.
The two New Orleans natives are now based in Charleston, SC, where they spread the Zen Tennis philosophy through their teachings, encouraging others to find the joy and love in the game.
