What Our Students Say
I joined the gym around the start of 2024. Initially it was just to get active and find a fun new workout. I came in with an open mind with really no prior training or experience in martial arts. The beginner program is well put together to ease you into Jiu Jitsu. It also gives you a good starting point with the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu and self defense. Both Coach Cory and Coach Jordan do a great job and you can tell how passionate they are about teaching the sport. The gym itself is an amazing place to be and learn. Everyone I've met at the gym is also very friendly and welcoming, overall it's a fun environment filled with great people. I can't recommend it enough, especially if you're looking for a fun challenge and want to learn something new. I did not think it would become such a big part of my daily routine. Jiu Jitsu is definitely one of the best things I've decided to do and I'm glad I found Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here in Brighton! Joshua
