I was in town from out of state and did a drop in no gi class. Everyone was very nice and inviting. The instruction was great. They teach good Jiujistu here. If you’re in town stop in. Def worth it
Fantastic gym. The coaches are knowledgeable, professional, and have a passion for what they do. They teach you how to "think" through a fight and how to leverage your movement, technique, and power. The gym is full of great people. Whether for self defense, fitness, competition, or sparring in the gym, I highly recommend.
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.

As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs my daughters have been involved in at Zingano Broomfield and Brighton! The experienced instructors create a safe and welcoming environment where every child feels valued. This program emphasizes respect, discipline and teamwork, helping my daughters build self-defense skills while boosting their confidence and focus. I've witnessed their physical and mental growth as they learn to face challenges head-on, both on the mats and in everyday life. The engaging classes strike a perfect balance between technique and enjoyment, and it’s heartwarming to see them form friendships with other passionate students. I highly recommend this gym to any parent seeking a fantastic martial arts experience that instills lifelong values—it's truly a community where kids (and adults) thrive! #kidsbjj #kidsjiujitsu #kidsmartialarts
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!
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!
I have had nothing but great experiences with this gym all the coaches are all hands on and willing to help out. I definitely recommend this gym to whoever is interested in learning more about Jiu jitsu.
Zingano BJJ Brighton offers an excellent range of day and evening classes for adults in Muay Thai and BJJ, complemented by a fantastic kids program. The knowledgeable instructors, led by Prof Cory, are dedicated to helping students achieve their goals, whatever they may be. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by a warm and friendly atmosphere, making you feel right at home among the staff and fellow students. Highly recommend trying out Zingano Brighton!
Have had great success with Zingano and Professor Cory within the time I have spent here. The instructors at Zingano are dedicated in their art and the environment is very open for everyone who chooses to train here.
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
My wife and I just started a month ago and despite us being quite a bit older than everyone else in the class we are loving it. The coaches are amazing, the other participates are all humble and kind, and I would highly recommend all to come and try it out.
The best gym I have ever attended. I boxed for a number of years across a series of gyms around Denver, and Zingano BJJ significantly outshines them all. The coaches genuinely care about helping you improve, and they structure programs to get you real experience. If you're just starting out - or if you're advanced, they have solutions for everybody. I couldn't be happier.
Started During COViD and haven’t been disappointed at all. Played sports my whole life but never wrestled or had any type of combat sports experience, once I joined Zingano they started me out with the baby steps and have continually developed me over time. The coaching is great, the teammates are great, the location is easy to find, and the progress I can feel and see on and off the mat is amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a spot as an experienced person or beginner.
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. Reached out and boom, they were amazing with the service and when this CV19 slows down and my schedule opens this will be the only place I’ll go. Great instruction, good people in the classes. Great experience.
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 !
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. The facility is very new, the floating mats are awesome to train on, the coaches travel between both schools including Kru Mong (the kickboxing instructor), the whole place is extremely clean and the students are all a great group of people.
They offer many different classes and times which work perfectly when using the Broomfield academe as well. I can literally find a class to attend almost any time on any day.
There isn't a bad experience at this place.
I have been to several Jiu-Jitsu/Kickboxing/MMA schools in Colorado and without a doubt Zingano's is my favorite! When I am looking for a school there are a few things that I look for... Facilities, Atmosphere, Variety of Martial Arts, Instructors experience and attitude! My main complaint with other schools is there lack of space! I don't like when i'm training Jiu-Jitsu and somebody's foot hits me in the face because there are too many people rolling in a small area! This is not a problem here! The school is plenty big enough to accommodate large classes! They also have an MMA cage, boxing ring and olympic weights area along with a large matted area. The atmosphere is extremely positive and helpful! My first day everyone came up to me, introduced themselves and helped me get adjusted throughout the entire class! I dont think there was a single person that didn't come up to me, say hi, and offer words of encouragement! The main focus of the school I believe is to provide the best martial art for real life fighting situations and MMA athletes! They offer, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Muay Tai Kickboxing and MMA! In my opinion these are the absolute best systems for real life combat and they tie them together nicely! One of my favorite things about this school is that Master Zingano is a black belt under one of the most highly respected Jiu-Jitsu practitioners of all time! Master Caique! For those of you that don't know Master Caique was awarded his Red and Black belt from Rickson Gracie, the most dominant Jiu-Jitsu fighter of all time! Master Zingano has a revolutionary style of teaching that was directly learned from Rorion Gracie's Instructors program at the Main Academy in Torrence! I did my research! Lol! It is an interactive teaching style that ingrains the techniques that he just showed you! After Master Zingano shows a technique he will go around the class and ask random students what comes next... For example if he is showing an armbar, he will say, "Mike, what comes first? Justin, what do I do next? etc... This is a great way to ensure students are paying attention and understand the technique! Learning this way allows students to advance quickly not become frustrated! When you learn quickly, your skill level advances quickly, your promotions come more quickly and you stay motivated! Finally, the attitude at Zingano's is extremely positive and motivational! They not only want you to learn and have success in martial arts, they want you to succeed in life! They are concerned with your well being and how you are progressing! All the students are very helpful to lower belts and everyone helps you learn! There seem to be no egos at Zinganos, everybody is there to learn and have a great time while doing it! I would suggest Zinganos to anybody from the highest level athlete to beginner who just want to stay in shape!
