From the reviews
Very friendly staff and super welcoming! I found that everyone was really supportive as well! However, as a beginner, I do not know if BJJ is worth the amount of money. Probably best for those with enough free time to commit three days/nights a week or at least have some level of experience.
I was in Allentown a few days for work, so I sent them a message through their website asking about their policy for visitors. A few minutes later they replied simply "Come on by!" I went to the advanced no-gi class, and I'm glad I did.
My family and I are at the gym almost everyday and we love it here! From Gi and No-Gi classes, to the kids classes and even the new women’s class, there is something for everyone! Jeremy is a great coach and business owner.
I've been training at Zombie for over four years now, and it's truly become my home since moving away from Philadelphia. What keeps me coming back is the community, culture, and the coaching. Coach Jared is incredibly detail-oriented—he has a sharp eye for catching the key elements I might be missing in my techniques.
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.
