From the reviews
My boys have been consistently going for almost over a year, and the discipline, the drive, the focus that my guys have is astonishing! I love it more because it feels like a family with an amazing sense of community!
If you are looking for a gym to call home, a place to meet friends, a place to push yourself, or a place to learn and grow, look no further. Zombie BJJ will be your new home away from home. After training at many facilities, I can say this place is like no other.
I decided to challenge myself so my daughter and I joined zombie BJJ and never looked back. Between all the knowledgeable coaches to family friendly atmosphere, I couldn't think of a better place to train!
Great environment, awesome talent, and quality community! The best BJJ gym in abilene by far. Me and my son both train here and have loved every second of it. Tons of classes at different times to fit your lifestyle as well as striking classes and nogi. 10/10
New to muay thai? Start at Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA
Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA 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 Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA
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.
