Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

"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!"

"Cory and the team are amazing instructors and make it easy for anyone to get involved and learn. The gym is clean, and everyone was very welcoming when I first started. Would recommend this gym to anyone looking to jump into BJJ or Muay Thai."

"Zingano BJJ is an incredible gym with knowledgeable and patient coaches who truly understand how to work with kids. They create the perfect balance between discipline and fun, so the kids know when to focus and when they can have fun. The communication is also great—professors always keep parents in the loop about upcoming events and competitions. More than anything, it’s just a great environment where kids can learn, grow, and build confidence!"

"My 8-year-old son has been training at Zingano for over two years, attending Little Ninjas on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the competition class on Fridays. While the Little Ninjas classes have been fantastic for building his fundamentals, the competition class has taken his skills to the next level. Designed for gray-white belts and above, this class is smaller and more focused, allowing Professor Cory to provide more individualized coaching. The 90-minute sessions push the kids physically and mentally, focusing on advanced techniques, strategy, and conditioning to prepare them for real competitions. One of the biggest benefits is the opportunity to roll with older, more experienced students, which challenges them and accelerates their growth in ways that larger classes can’t. Since joining the competition class, my son's stamina, confidence, and technical ability have improved tremendously. He’s learned how to stay composed under pressure and execute techniques with precision. The intense training and high-level grappling have truly made a difference in his development. If you’re looking for a program that not only refines technique but also builds the mindset needed for competition, this is it. The structure, elite coaching, and training environment at Zingano’s competition class are second to none. Highly recommend!"
