Who We Are

Jim Cipollini & Jessica Wojcinski

In 2021, Jess started taking Krav Maga classes at Hendersonville Martial Arts where Jim was an instructor. They became friends, life partners, then business partners in GSD. The idea for Genesis was born out of their mutual passion for self defense, mental health advocacy, and empowering their community.
