What Our BJJ Students Are Saying
I was a year shy of 30 and growing tired of spin classes and Stairmasters that did nothing for me. I needed something different—something that would get me into shape, increase my confidence, and be fun. I emailed Professor Zingano to see if I could swing by and try a Jiu Jitsu class. I made it through my first class and came back the next day for a Muay Thai class. I made it through both and was hooked. I canceled my gym membership and joined the Zingano Family. It truly is a family. The coaches have always been there for me, whether it is at tournaments, providing little tips, or some extra motivation to try harder. I was afraid that I would be the testing dummy for more skilled students. Instead, I found a culture of teaching and respect that permeates everything at the gym. From the first-timer to the most experienced person, everyone looks out for each other, which allows everyone to be their best. After training at Zingano's for 5 months, I lost 53 lbs, regained my confidence, and have had an incredible time training. The family I found at Zingano's means the world to me, and I am so glad I dropped in for that first class.Brian L.
What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focused on grappling, utilizing principles of leverage, balance, joint manipulation and technique to control opponents. This makes it a highly effective self-defense method suitable for individuals of various strengths and sizes.
Originating in Brazil in the early 1900s, BJJ gained worldwide attention in 1993 when Royce Gracie showcased its effectiveness by defeating much larger opponents in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) without throwing a single strike.
At Zingano BJJ Brighton, we carry on this legacy by teaching proven techniques in a safe and structured environment. Whether you’re interested in learning the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or general self-defense, we ensure every student receives premium instruction.
