Whether your goal is competition, fitness, or building a complete self-defense skill set, our MMA program gives you a structured path from your first day on the mat to wherever you want to go.

The Foundation

THREE DISCIPLINES.
ONE SYSTEM.

MMA is built on three pillars. At Zingano you train all three — and learn how they connect.

🥋

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

The ground game. Takedowns, control, submissions — BJJ gives you the tools to finish a fight on the mat. Our black belt instructors build this foundation from day one.

🥊

Muay Thai

The stand-up game. Punches, kicks, elbows, and knees — Muay Thai is the most effective striking base for MMA, giving you weapons at every range.

💪

Wrestling & Takedowns

The transitions game. Wrestling controls where the fight happens — whether you take it to the ground or keep it standing, wrestling determines who dictates the action.

Common Questions

MMA
FAQ.

Absolutely not. The majority of our MMA students train for fitness, self-defense, or the challenge of learning a complete skill set. Competition is available for those who want it, but it is never required or expected.

BJJ focuses on grappling and submissions on the ground. Muay Thai focuses on stand-up striking. MMA combines both along with wrestling and transitions — giving you a complete fighting system that works everywhere.
