Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I was visiting from out of state and wanted to find a local spot to drop in. Professor Matt and his team were very welcoming and I felt the quality of the instruction was among the best places I practice back home. During sparring I got the "we can turn up if you want to but let's flow it out" vibe from everyone and that speaks volumes of the environment in the best way. Safe, fun, and effective training. If I were to move to the area, I'd definitely make this gym my home. I will be back again.

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. A friend of mine who was also interested in training told me about Zingano's and the fact that it was across the street from my office sounded great. We called and set up an appointment to come and check it out and were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. We were greeted by Master Zingano himself and were made to feel right at home. The gym was huge, clean, and very welcoming. We took the tour and signed up for our free trial membership. My first day on the mat was slightly nerve racking as I didn't know what to expect. To my surprise everyone was very friendly, willing to help, and had great attitudes. The other coaches were very knowledgable and not arrogant in any way. After two classes I signed up to train full time. Over the years I have seen tons of new programs added to make this a better place to train. With the addition of MMA, wrestling, and Muay Thai which is taught by one of the greatest in the world, Zingano's has only gotten better. The locker rooms were recently remodeled giving more room and an additional shower. It just keeps getting better. I would recommend anyone interested in training at any level to come and train with the Zingano family. You won't be disappointed.

I met Professor Zingano in 2004 after checking into other places and I knew instantly that Zingano BJJ was the place for me. Since my first class I have been hooked. The instruction is amazing and the students are all like family. I have grown a great deal as a person. Training has helped me channel my stress into a creative art, I quit smoking and have embraced a whole new lifestyle. Zingano BJJ truly is one of the best things I have incorporated into my life.

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. There are men and women of all ages and backgrounds who compete and participate in the sport and combat aspect of Jiu Jitsu, those that train for self-defense, others who are here to challenge themselves and still others for the fitness that Jiu Jitsu offers. On a typical day at Zingano’s, you will see kids of all ages participating in classes and their parents and grandparents watching them. There are advanced Jiu Jitsu athletes training and teaching new folks just starting their first class. Zingano’s is a place that accepts all people with different goals and this is what I like best. The entire Zingano team and family are supportive, encouraging and everyone is welcomed here! I have been doing Jiu Jitsu now since 2016 and am a Lifetime Member at Zingano’s. I plan on continuing to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Zingano’s for a long time.. I highly recommend Zingano’s if you're interested in learning traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a friendly and open minded environment. Rob Rapier

I researched different mixed martial arts in the area for quality. I have a wrestling background and had some coaching experience at the youth level up through high school so I have always had an interest for activities on the mat. So I wanted to find a place that had a good mix but also catered to the older adult (I’m in mid-forties). What I found at Zingano was more than what I was looking for. Not only do they offer all that I was seeking but they embrace you and take you in as family. There are no egos and everyone is there to improve everyone else's Jiu Jitsu, self-confidence, physical fitness and desire to start an amazing journey for life. All of the instructors are top notch and are extremely knowledgeable of what they are teaching. My son has recently moved here and began taking classes with me and really enjoys it. The two of us and many others compete in tournaments to test our skill levels with others from different academies and the coaching staff is right there mat side helping you through your quest. Zingano is a very well ran business. I really don't think there is a better academy that I could have chosen. I absolutely love the organization and all of the people (my brothers and sisters) that I am privileged, to train with. I highly doubt you can find a better training facility or academy. Tim
