What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Holly Barker
"Check your ego at the door: if you have a problem with this gym, it just might be you! The environment and the people are incredibly welcoming and supportive. It is clear that everyone there wants to learn and improve AND help others to do the same. Bob, Jen, and all the instructors are competent, kind, and incredibly helpful. If you want to challenge yourself, learn some new things, improve your mindset and mental discipline, sweat a whole bunch, meet some incredible people, and leave a place better than you came to it, I’d recommend Zoo BJJ 100%!!"
Juan Mendoza
"I was in town for work and dropped in to Zoo Jiu Jitsu. Jen was very welcoming! A quick tour of the gym and the high level instruction began. All training partners were highly skilled and friendly. There were several medals on the wall which are simply a reflection of the talent and skill housed at Zoo! Kudos to Jen and team for being such an awesome group. I will definitely be coming back and recommend Zoo for anyone looking for high level training."
Gus Seward
"Zoo Bjj is the best place around to train. Bob is a true black belt and he creates an awesome environment to train Jiu-Jitsu. He’s great with kids and he’s teaching my two young children how to be marshal artists. I feel lucky to have him and all the people training in our lives. Come check it out for yourself and join the family!"
Jacob Foster
"My brother and I look forward to every class. The instructor is very welcoming, dedicated to progressing the sport, and a well rounded grappler. I recommend Zoo BJJ to everyone interested in the Missoula area!"
