From the reviews
Went for a free day trail. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It was nothing like expected and the instructor made the moves look easy but I soon found out that it’s from a lot of practice. All in all I loved it and I really wish I had taken a chance earlier on.
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!
I travel to Abilene once to twice a month and this is the only spot I train at when here! The instructors are amazing, the atmosphere and training is always good, and I always feel welcome. Thank you to Tonche and the Zombie BJJ crew for being so welcoming. I always look forward to training
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 kickboxing? 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
