From the reviews
I have been training Muay Thai and BJJ here for about 3 months, and can honestly say that both programs are top-notch. Even in group classes, the coaches do a great job of catering to each athletes learning style, so you don't have to worry about being left behind during drills.
I started training at Zingano BJJ over 4 years ago and have loved every day of it. When I first decided to start training I visited a few different gyms and tried them out. I was pretty discouraged due to the unwelcome feeling I got from others when walking in the first time.
I've been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) at Zingano’s for about 4 years. (MMA, wrestling, and Muay Thai are also offered). Master Zingano and his wife Cat, who is also an instructor, are not only great teachers but also great people.
Training at Zingano’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been a very rewarding experience for me. The process of learning Jiu Jitsu has been both challenging and enjoyable. I especially like the diverse group of people who train at Zingano’s.
New to BJJ? Start at Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai
Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
