MMA & UFC Style Training In the Westminster, Broomfield, Brighton ...

"After throwing around the idea of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a few months, I finally decided to go and try it out. I initially started training at a gym that a few friends trained at and quickly realized that it was not the place for me. The gym was dark, the people were not welcoming, and the facility was small.

A coworker of mine knew that I had started training and began to look at gyms as well and found Zingano's. He mentioned it to me, but I was hesitant to go to a new place not knowing anyone because often times these places are filled with people who have something to prove. After talking about it a bit, we made a phone call. The phone was answered by Master Zingano himself and he was extremely welcoming and informative. He insisted we come over and check out the facility and meet the people, so we did.

When we first walked in, we were immediately greeted by several students who were finishing up a class. This was surprising to us as we were used to being looked at as "new guys." We were introduced to Master Zingano who quickly made us feel at home. He showed us the facility, answered all of our questions, and made us feel like we were going to be part of a family.

We both decided to go through the trial period and were given loaner gi's so we could participate. Our initial trial was for 30 days and after the first three days, I knew this was the place for me. I signed up and began training 4 days a week.

I was amazed at the family atmosphere this place provided. I was immediately accepted and was treated like I had been there my whole life. The coaches were awesome, the facility was always clean, and the classes were top notch every time. At first I did Jiu-Jitsu only, but quickly realized that there was so much more to learn at Zingano's. I started doing MMA, Muay Thai, and wrestling as well.

They have the best Jiu-Jitsu coaches, the wrestling coach is an Olympic medalist, the Muay Thai coach is a living legend in the sport, and Master Zingano is an extremely respected Black Belt with a wealth of knowledge.

I have been training at Zingano's for over four years and have made relationships that will last a lifetime. I have had many great experiences myself and have witnessed many others with other people. I have seen people come in and make complete transformations in their lives regarding weight, self confidence, and relationships. Master Zingano cares about each one of his students and truly loves what he does. There is not a single coach that ever treats anyone as if they are any less then them and everyone is family. "

"Hands down, this has been one of the best experiences of my life."

"I have trained at gyms across the US from the West Coast to the East Coast and the things that I look for when I first walk into a gym are these things:

Programs: Does the gym offer what I am interested in?
Level of instruction: If I'm paying for a service, what is the level of instruction that I am receiving? Is the staff friendly and helpful in guiding me towards my goal?
Facilities: Are the facilites clean? Do they have the neccesasry equipment to adequately train everyone? Is there appeal in how everything is set up?
Organization of classes: Is the material organized and presented in a manner that anyone can learn?

Programs offered (5/5): Durring the 4 years since I started to training to the time that I left, the number of programs offered has evolved significantly. The addition of key coaches in the areas of Muay Thai, wrestling, and MMA and transformed Zingano BJJ from a Jiu Jitsu school to a formadible Jiu Jitsu/MMA/fitness gym. The kids program is great for kids as young as 5 to start training. You can't find a more complete gym in Colorado to train at.

Level of Instruction (5/5): The level of instruction across the board is top notch. Master Zingano has done a great job with his instructors in instilling them with the art of teaching. Every instructor that I had was able to clearly and consicily convey whatever technique was being taught. In addition, they are all extremely friendly. I think a lot of people are intimidated of trying a sport that they've never done before. Weather its BJJ, MMA, or Muy Thai, these instructors take that fear away by promoting an ego free environment and are approachable by everyone.

Class organization (5/5): This one was a big one for me. I've been to many gyms where it was just a free-for-all when it comes to class organization and what is taught. At Zingano BJJ the classes are broken up into beginner, intermediate, and advanced depending on your level of experience. I believe this helps you learn quicker and more efficiently by being able to train with people at your level. Also, because classes are so organized there isn't a lot of down time and the flow from teaching one technique to the next is seamless. This alone, in my opinion, made me feel like I'm getting my money's worth and demonstrated that these guys know what they're doing."
