Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA

Fantastic experience: The instructors were very welcoming to my son and I.. Being complete beginners, I was a bit worried that it would be a bunch of tough guys chomping at the bit to twist us into human pretzels. But it was the exact opposite. Although I'm sure they could have snapped us into tiny pieces at will, everyone was very nice, and without ego.. stressing proper technique and training safely. Its great exercise, and a lot of fun. I'd recommend it to anyone as a means of learning practical self defense techniques or just getting in shape.

Fantastic experience: Zombie BJJ is undoubtedly the very best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in the greater Lehigh Valley area. With classes available morning and night there's access to classes to fit your busy schedule. There are fundamental classes and also advance classes that can tend to skill sets of all levels. Zombie BJJ is a safe and fun atmosphere everyone can enjoy,even children! Coach Jeremy Lee Henderson treats all his patrons with respect and professionalism! Zombie BJJ definitely supplies the Lehigh Valley with world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training!

Fantastic experience: Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not only the best in the Lehigh Valley but is the best BJJ you will find anywhere. The owner/coach Jeremy Henderson is an extremely skilled BJJ practitioner and a world-class teacher. He takes his time and breaks down a very difficult martial art to learn and makes it not only easy but fun as well. All of the people who practice BJJ there are extremely friendly and welcoming. There is no intimidation for new comers and everyone helps you out. If you are worried about being out of shape don’t worry, there is no one that they cannot teach and get into shape. If you’re worried about your busy schedule don't. They have several classes every single day and you can come as many or as few classes as you have time for. Regardless everyone is treated equally well. I personally started going there to learn how to defend myself and to get into better shape. I was afraid i wouldn't have enough time and that i would be too old and out of shape to practice BJJ. I am still new to the art but i go about 3-4 times a week sometimes at night and sometimes in the morning. I am starting to get into better shape and am excited about where the bjj i am learning here. Also, while I don't have any children, they have a great children’s program where your child can learn the same world-class BJJ that the adults learn. The children's coach, Aroldo Rodas, is also a phenomenal coach. He is not only great with children but is a great teacher. Aroldo has not only won gold medals in competition, but his young students have also won gold as well. If you want your child to learn discipline, a lifelong martial art, stay active and in shape, as well as make some great friends then this is the place for them. If you don't believe me then stop by the coaches are there all day every day and they are always willing to answer any questions you may have.

Fantastic experience: World Class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu My jiu jitsu journey started a few years ago when I was working up near Boston MA. I was fortunate enough to train with team Kimura underneath professor Jean Kleber, a world class jiu jitsu teacher and native of Brazil. Since leaving I have visited numerous schools looking for what I had up there, truly authentic brazilian jiu jitsu. Zombie BJJ was the only place that felt like home to me. There is a tremendous sense of pride and camaraderie that flows throughout the school, radiating from head instructor Jeremy Henderson. I imagine this stems from his time spent training underneath world class native Brazilian Hobson Moura. It's difficult to fully explain, but there's just a well mixture of good vibes, excellent instruction and quality training partners. It has been amazing to see this school develop over the past year that I have been here. At first it was a small, humble and well run school. It has been steadily building into a well oiled machine that consistently challenges and teaches you every single class. It now is humming along perfectly providing a great jiu jitsu experience and also producing gold medal winning athletes. My advice to anyone out there considering jiu jitsu for the first time, or already trains and is new to the area, to come in for a class and see what it's like. What you'll see is high quality instruction, focused individuals and a lot of smiling faces.

Fantastic experience: A great BJJ school. I've trained at three other schools prior to moving to PA, this school is top notch. The instructors are fully committed and truly LIVE for Bjj, I'm talking LIVE, EAT, AND BREATH Jiu Jitsu 24 hours a day! Jeremy brings plenty of advanced moves and points out all the details that matter. He knows more advanced moves than I can learn in 10 years. And 10 years from now he'll know 20 more years worth of moves. The school hosts seminars regularly with the top names, and world champions coming through teaching aspects of their game. If you're a beginner who never touched the mat, if you're advanced, if you're in athletic shape, or totally out of shape and looking to change that, this school is for you. There is a great mix of students that compete regularly (and win of course) and students who don't, looking to learn the art, get some great exercise, and gain camaraderie. Come out and train with us!

Fantastic experience: Love this place!!!! Cannot say enough great things about it! Amazing teachers, Amazing classes, Amazing facility. Overall, Zombie BJJ is THE best BJJ gym around. I guarantee you will not regret joining the Zombie family! :)

Fantastic experience: Great BJJ school. Instructors are great and all the BJJ practitioners are cool - no hot-heads here. Young or old, experienced or not, it does not matter - they have something for everybody. Try it, you will love it!

Fantastic experience: I honestly have had the best experience here, the environment is really friendly everyone helps our everyone. The people who train there are really easy going and just easy to get along with. And the teacher is amazing, he knows what he's doing, he honestly tries to help you get the most out of Jiu-Jitsu. This is the best place to train around, Ive visited other places and nothing compared to this place in the slightest.

Fantastic experience: I have trained at a few different BJJ schools over the past 6 years and Zombie BJJ is by far one of the best. Great instructors, comfortable atmosphere and terrific training partners. Zombie BJJ also has a great lineage back to traditional BJJ so you know you are getting the real deal. If you are looking to start BJJ or a new BJJ school, I highly recommend Zombie BJJ.

Fantastic experience: I felt at home from day one at Zombie. All the coaches and members have been so welcoming and knowledgeable. The fundamentals classes are both comfortable and engaging for somebody who is brand new to bjj. I love this gym and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new spot or somewhere to try bjj for the first time.

Fantastic experience: I have now been at zombie for about 3 months and I feel like i’m truly part of a family! Everyone is always pushing everyone to get better and the professors really understand Jujitsu and how to teach it!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this place. I had wanted to study iu jitsu for a long time and always put it off , but this year I did it and I'm so glad I did . I found exactly the right place too. The instructors are top notch professionals and everyone I've met there has been welcoming and friendly. even being a beginner . I highly recommend you check it out .

Fantastic experience: Highly skilled and friendly instructors. This is one of the best bjj gyms in the tri-state area. Solid group of training partners who are skilled, friendly, and willing to take the time to work with new or inexperienced students one-on-one. Lessons often build on the techniques taught in prior classes.

Fantastic experience: I just started training at Zombie BJJ 3 weeks ago and let me tell you I am so happy that I got started. They are all great people and very helpful, especially for beginners. Price is good and mats are kept clean. Overall great place to train and would definitely recommend for anyone looking to start training!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to having a good time and learn a new skill, Zombie is the place. I've trained at many gyms and this is one of the best atmospheres. Highly skilled guys and super friendly.

Fantastic experience: The best jiu jitsu school in the Lehigh Valley! A variety of classes to choose from throughout the week. The beginners class helps new comers better understand the fundamentals of jiu jitsu giving them the confidence to progress on their journey! The advanced classes are technical and detailed! The environment is fun and welcoming! The coaches genually care about you and your progress both on and off the mats. Cannot say enough about this place!!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined the Zombie family back in 2015. I say family and not gym/academy because everyone who’s a member really does make you feel like family and all of it is thanks to the instructor and owner Jeremy. Jeremy has a tremendous amount of knowledge. He is always sharing that knowledge with patience and, in a way that a new student doesn’t feel overwhelmed or lost. If you are looking for a place to help stay in shape physically and mentally I highly recommend you join the Zombie family.

Fantastic experience: Zombie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great place to train. Everyone is friendly and willing to help improve your game. Coaches are very helpful and knowledgeable. Whether you are just beginning your jujitsu journey or you are a higher level player, I believe that Zombie is the best place in the valley to train.

Fantastic experience: 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. He takes the time to break things down for easy learning and is always open to answering any questions. The other staff members on the team are very knowledgeable and friendly as well! The gym has truly felt like another home and everyone in it is like family. I recommend our gym for all ages!

Fantastic experience: I joined Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in April 2021, and it's been an amazing experience so far. Jeremy, the owner, has been incredibly friendly and supportive, even though I was a complete beginner when I started. All the coaches are great at teaching and demonstrating techniques, and the other students are always willing to help out and create a safe and welcoming environment for learning. I would highly recommend giving Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a try - it's addictive and has benefited my life in so many ways.

Fantastic experience: If you're thinking about joining a martial arts gym, I would highly recommend Zombie BJJ. I joined about a year and a half ago at age 40 with no prior experience, and I've loved every minute of it. The only regret is not being able to train more. The instructors are great, the environment is welcoming, and the teammates are awesome - many of whom have become friends outside the gym.

Fantastic experience: The zombie class was great, and the training partners were very friendly. We worked on some legitimate guard passing techniques. The open mat session was fun, and everyone was very technical. The head coach/owner is a really nice guy! He made sure to introduce himself and roll with me and talk to me after, even though I visited from out of town. The drop-in fee was a little steep at $20, but I would recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Never have I found a place that will show you your true self and how to master it for your own personal gain. Zombie BJJ will provide you with a clean and friendly environment suited for both beginners and seasoned veterans. The most important and notable feature of Zombie is its community; ranging from world class athletes, lawyers, doctors, police, construction workers, men, and women; zombie promotes a family atmosphere where everyone strives to push and challenge each other every day. If you are considering starting or continuing your BJJ journey then you have found the right place, stop by and find your second home!

Fantastic experience: I was visiting from out of town and owners were gracious enough to let me train at their gym for a few weeks! Couldn’t have been happier with my experience. Coaches were top tier and training partners were great! Overall a solid gym and very welcoming environment. Would easily recommend to this gym to anyone in the area who has been training for years as well as someone who is looking to start training!

Fantastic experience: I have a background in high school wrestling, and I started training bjj at Zombie about three weeks ago. I couldn’t have had a better first impression over that time. The coaches are spectacular, and truly understand not only the techniques that are being taught, but also how those techniques tie into the larger picture in a grappling/combative situation. The culture of the gym is also outstanding. There are students of varying backgrounds and skill levels with different over all goals, but everyone seems to be devoted to improving themselves and those around them. I feel comfortable asking for advice from any of the higher belts, who are always eager to help. In my first few weeks of training I didn’t have a gi because the company that I ordered from had delivery problems. An experienced student that I barley knew offered me his spare gi, until mine came in. I think this example aptly sums up the family-like culture that has been created at Zombie. I find myself spending a lot of time training because jiu jitsu truly is addictive. I would recommend this gym for anyone looking for a positive environment in which they can develop real skills.

Fantastic experience: This school is absolutely amazing! I -highly- recommend this place to anyone thinking about taking Jiu-Jitsu classes! The instructors are -amazingly skilled-, patient, easy to talk to, and their passion and knowledge just shines through! The other students who go there are helpful and just so friendly and supportive, too! Black, brown, blue, white belt- it doesnt matter- everyone is eager to help each other learn/perfect the sport! My very first class, I walked in, and everyone treated me as though I had been taking classes for years! I had to leave for personal reasons, but i absolutely guarantee you, that as soon as i can start classes again, I am, without a doubt, going back to this school.

Fantastic experience: “Jiu-Jitsu saved my life.” It’s a phrase I’ve heard many others say before. After joining Zombie BJJ, I too say this statement. Long story short, Jiu-Jitsu will definitely protect you if ever you’re attacked on the street but also from any mental struggles (as in my case, I struggled with anorexia until I joined Zombie). With that said, the coaches at Zombie are the best. Jeremy and Matt are both amazing and patient instructors, and Chino is the best if you want your kids to learn and achieve all the amazing benefits from Jiu-Jitsu. The students and staff at Zombie are like family. They’re friendly, inviting, patient, knowledgeable, and safe. There’s no better place to learn Jiu-Jitsu from, and if you ever have that curious “itch” to study Jiu-Jitsu, choose Zombie BJJ.

Fantastic experience: Not only is Jeremy a really good friend but he is also a great training partner. He is that type of instructor that gives no less than 200% to his academy and students. Because of this the environment he has created at Zombie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of hard work, dedication with a nice family feel to the atmosphere. If you are in the PA looking for an incredible place to train look no further!

Fantastic experience: This school is top notch, with world-class instructors. Jeremy will break everything down step-by-step and cover even the smallest of details, to ensure you are learning everything properly. You also never have to worry about being injured while training. Everyone that trains here is incredibly respectful and careful while training, and everyone respects the tap. Whether it’s your first day, or your tenth year of BJJ, you cannot go wrong with Zombie.

Fantastic experience: I have been training here on and off since 2016. Since I'm in the military I only come in when I'm on leave. With that being said professor Jeremy and Matt treat you like you belong to the gym. Jeremy and Matt will break the technique down reguardless of your size to make sure you can do the move of the day. They also have an amazing kids program that professor Chino helps run. If you are in the area and want to see your jiu jitsu game grow, or a new student thinking about trying jiu jitsu this is the school to go to in the Lehigh Valley.

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic. Great, very knowledgeable coaches. Excellent students. All who are willing to help out any newcomers. Young or old, it doesn't matter. You will feel welcomed. Whether you just want to have a place to go and learn casually, or if your goal is to be a high level competitor. Maybe you want to also learn how to wrestle, or little Judo and Sambo on top of the fantastic BJJ they teach. Doesn't matter. Someone their knows. It's great fun. Recommended for all.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for several months now and I have only positive things to say about. It's a great environment to learn in. The coaching staff have such an acumen for the style and truly do take the time to work with you on technique and so forth. The more experienced students always help you as well. Not only have I experienced it but I've seen it with newer students. Everyone is friendly and team orientated. I'm more than satisfied with my investment and, without a doubt, recommend Zombie as a gym.

Fantastic experience: Zombie bJJ is amazing. Lots classes and open mats for members on saterday and sunday. Thats 7 days a week to drill and roll. There are high level guys and normal everyday guys that come to zombie so theres always a training partner. the size of the place is huge lots of mat space. The Coaches are amazing guys, who are super passionate about BJJ. All the coaches take there time and explain in drill. The coaches work with everybody no favorites and roll with everybody. Zombie BJJ is the best.

Fantastic experience: Great experience at this gym. Everyone here is very welcoming, which you don't experience at many other gyms. The trainers here excell at encouraging their students and they provide the knowledge necessary to turn out skilled mixed martial artists. They invest in every single one of their students, making them feel motivated and creating a positive atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I go to school down in Florida and every time I come to Allentown/Lehigh Valley I have to come train here! I've been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 6 years and this is a top notch academy. The owner/instructor, Jeremy Henderson, is a Bjj encyclopedia and extremely awesome guy. All the other instructors are amazing and the students are welcoming and super tough! If you want world class Bjj come here!

Fantastic experience: Zombie BJJ is the real deal and an amazing school to train at. the instruction is incredible, the people are welcoming, and the schedule is great as there are classes every day. Ideal for both beginners and advanced skill levels, the challenge at Zombie is exactly what I was looking for to begin my BJJ journey. If you're looking for a BJJ school where the instructors give their 110% and truly love to train, than this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: I trained for several years at a few other places and had to take a long break. I've been out of the game for about 5 years and had the itch to get back to training. I researched quite a bit and Zombie looked to have a depth of Instructors, and had great reviews. I contacted them to ask some questions, and they got back to me very quickly and answered all of my questions. I went in for a trial class and knew right away I had found a new home. The Instruction is on point and the atmosphere is great. They are one of the only BJJ schools around that have morning classes, which is something I need. I travel a lot for work, and sometimes for weeks at a time, and they are completely willing to work with me on my membership. I am fairly new to Zombie, but look forward to being there a long time!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Zombie BJJ for about a month now. I think it's a great place. The instructors are not only very knowledgable, but also good at teaching what they know. I like the fact that I can train mornings and nights, pretty much every day. I can't say enough good things about it.

Fantastic experience: I've trained in maybe half a dozen bjj schools over the years and zombie Jiu jitsu is one of the very best. The facilities are clean and spacious, the instruction is advanced and technical but the instructors excel at breaking it down for beginners. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed; those looking to ease into bjj will find a partner who will take them through the ropes without smashing them. But be warned: if you're looking to become a competitive fighter these guys will push you to excellence. I don't really know what else to say, go train there immediately! Now, now, now!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, Coach Jeremy has taught me many things in jiu-jitsu and I would not want to be a part of any other family other than with the zombies. This gym is a place where you can train for multiple reasons such as self defense, to lose weight, stengthen the mind, progress in one of the most popular fighting styles in the world and to even learn what it feels like being part of a true team. Coach Jeremy is one of the best teachers to have and I believe everyone should try out his gym :)

Fantastic experience: Great instructors and awesome community. I started my training here and couldn't be happier with that decision. Zombie offers great fundamental training with experienced instructors. Additionally, the community in classes is welcoming and helpful (especially for newcomers).

Fantastic experience: Zombie BJJ is the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in the Allentown area. The people there are great and very friendly. Everyone there will give you the help you need to greatly improve your Jiu Jitsu skills. They offer a lot of classes so it's very easy to fit them into you're weekly routine. One of the most appealing things about the school is their diversity of belt ranks. There are many people of all belt levels who regularly attend. The higher belts provide valuable insight into perfecting your skills while the lower belts also provide insight and make for great partners to practice the various moves on. If you're serious about learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and have a desire to improve fast, this is the perfect school for you.

Fantastic experience: After 5 years of training, I have to say that Zombie BJJ is the best Jiu Jitsu school I have been to. The family friendly atmosphere and the top of the line instruction makes Zombie Jiu-Jitsu the number 1 place to train if you're in the Lehigh Valley area. After traveling to schools in different cities, states and countries, I have to say Zombie BJJ is a gym like no other. The mats and the gym are always cleaned, the schedule is super flexible and the instructors are always lending a helping hand. If you're reading this review and trying to find the right gym to sign up, stop what you're doing and call to schedule a class. Whether you're looking to get in shape, learn self defense or you're new to the area like I was, this is the place for you. I highly recommend Zombie BJJ.

Fantastic experience: Zombie BJJ is the best place to train Jiu Jitsu in the Lehigh Valley! I have been to multiple gyms in the area as well as in Philadelphia at school and Zombie just feels like the best fit. There are classes for all skill levels/ages and the instructors are always eager to help.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been training at Zombie since May of 2015. She was five years old when we signed her up. I feel like we won the lottery having an academy like this in our city. My child's life will be forever impacted by her time spent on the mats at Zombie. Not only do the coaches take special interest in what and how each child learns, they treat all of the kids equally fairly and kindly. The coaches are also very high-caliber and you can be very confident that your child will learn these techniques the right way, and most importantly, they are learning safely. She is more confident and determined than I've ever seen her, and those qualities keep growing with her as each month passes. She is learning that you reap what you sow, and that hard work pays off. She has become great friends with her training partners, and that's also great to see. Not to mention that now she is also learning very important self-defense skills, and as her journey continues, those skills will only grow and grow. Overall, Zombie BJJ deserves more than the five star rating that it has. It's a very friendly, fun, and clean environment filled with a group of close-knit people that will inevitably become like your extended family. I recommend this school to any parent looking to get their child into something physical that will build their confidence and work ethic. And, as an adult who also trains there, I recommend this academy for any adult looking for the same thing.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to train, the women classes are awesome! All the other girls and guys are really friendly and helpful. The coaches do a great job encouraging everyone. They're super detailed, and very technical. Its an amazing place to learn self defense for everyone, including ladies and kids. This academy is worth checking out.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been training at Zombie BJJ for about 5 months. It's a great way for us to exercise together and learn a new skill. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and make the classes fun. The other students are awesome and have made us feel like part of the family. We love training at Zombie BJJ and recommend that other couples give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I have been member at Zombie Brazilian JiuJitsu for a year and a half. It has a family friendly atmosphere and the instructors are excellent teachers who are dedicated to the art. If you or your children are looking to learn Brazilian JiuJitsu in the Lehigh Valley, look up Zombie BJJ and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I joined Zombie a few months ago after moving to the Lehigh Valley. It is a great school... lots of class times to fit any schedule, a balance of beginner and advanced training, gi and nogi, and a variety of excellent instructors. It is a family atmosphere, and everyone is super nice. If you are on the market for BJJ in the Lehigh Valley, I highly recommend checking out Zombie BJJ!

Fantastic experience: Best all around Jiu Jitsu in the area. Great atmosphere with training geared towards both beginners and advanced skill levels. You'll definitely be addicted to how the training makes you feel. Great coaches!
