Zichelle MMA BJJ & Fitness

“This gym is amazing! Mike Zichelle is not only a great coach, but an overall great person! He truly cares about each and every person who is in the gym training. He is very calm and gentle with the kids, constantly reassuring them and building their self confidence. He also ensures that they are respectful not only at the gym, but in the community, school and home. It is a family atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Everyone at this gym eagerly helps each other when training, no matter the age or experience level. Definitely the best place to train!”

“My kids started training under coach Mike Zichelle back in 2021. I decided to join after seeing how amazing the people and culture were. As a mid-30s career professional (with zero experience of martial arts of any kind), I was welcomed in and assured a safe and go at my own pace environment. Having started my journey training GI Jiu-Jitsu in October 2022 I have since earned my Blue-Belt and look forward to any/all days I can take a class or show up for open mat. Personally speaking, I didn't realize how much I needed Jiu-Jitsu in my life, now it's a permanent part of my identity and a sport I continue to practice with passion and motivation to keep learning. Whether your on the fence about trying out any martial arts, looking for a new gym to call home, or want to enable your children with a skill that challenges them both mentally and physically, don't hesitate to contact Coach Mikey Zichelle and inquire about a free trial class.”

“I’m so grateful I found Mikey and this gym. It has brought so many positive changes into my life ever since I started. I grew up as an athlete, I loved playing sports, but after finishing school I need something other than weight lifting. As soon as you walk in that door you can feel the sense of community, love, and hard work that’s happening here. You will see how much Mikey cares about the people that come into his gym and how much he loves jiujitsu and teaching it to others. Forever thankful I started and that I started here. Z team baby!!”

“Simply the best. From the day I walked in Mikey has always provided a safe and encouraging environment for me and my family. I have been training here for a little over 2 years now. My oldest son also trains here and most recently my wife started to train here in the women's only class. Everyone is welcoming and supportive. Mikey's passion for his students and his academy radiates. His enthusiasm is contagious. His energy is unmatched.”

“I’ve been bringing my son to Coach Mikey’s school since Oct 2023. I can’t say enough about the school and the coaches. Everyone is truly dedicated to this sport but also to each other and to all the students. My son is learning more than just the art of BJJ, he’s learning to be a calm and confident person, to be respectful of his teachers, to show compassion for his fellow students and he’s learning what it means to be part of a community. Five stars all the way!!!!”
