From the reviews

I have been training at Zingano's for over 4 years now. When I started, Broomfield was the only location they had. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a new school would be opening in Brighton. The Brighton academy is a great place to train.

★★★★★ — Shawn, Jul 2012

I went in with a buddy to check it out for the 1 on 1 trial. Cory worked us through some basics, we signed up that day. Really down to earth good people. Unfortunately after signing up for 6 month contract, some things happened to where I wouldn’t be able to make the times with my new odd schedule.

★★★★★ — Conner, Jul 2020

I have been a member of this gym for about a year now and I am absolutely loving it. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and truly show an interest in each individual's success. I've had a great experience with no prior experience in BJJ, wrestling or martial arts of anykind. Highly recommend

★★★★★ — Shane, Mar 2024

Great experience for my son from the 1st day. The month trial was the perfect time for my son to get addicted. He has had many coaches and all have been great !

New to muay thai? Start at Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
