Started my BJJ journey with Gabriel and his team at Zangief Jiu Jitsu about 5 months ago at the age of 41. This academy will push and motivate you to be the best version of yourself. I highly recommend Zangief BJJ for anyone looking to get out of their comfort zone and train BJJ.Almost forgot to mention that my 8 year old son trains there as well. The kids BJJ anti-bullying program is great. Get your kids off the couch and away from screens.

This is great place to train. Coach Gabe is very friendly and of course extremely knowledgeable. Ive attempted to train BJJ at other gyms but immediately felt like its a cult of douchers and I didnt belong. This place is different, from day one I felt welcomed by all members from black belt to other white belts. Everyone is willing to help and provide advise.

Gabriel AKA Zangief is an amazing instructor. My son and I have been going here for 3 months and it’s awesome. It’s a big family with no egos. Come join us, learn BJJ from the best.

Amazing team and brilliant coach! Great place to train, very cool vibe and the best camaraderie in Jiu Jitsu. Hard to find a nicer coach than Gabriel Checco!

I tried a class and signed up the same day. Everyone at this Jiu Jitsu gym made it feel welcoming from day 1. Gabriel has established a team culture and that is apparent when you walk in this gym. The gym is clean and there are no egos here.

It’s a great gym with a family environment. Both myself and my 6 year old son train here. Their kids program alternates days of tae kwondo and Jiu Jitsu, which keeps him engaged and learning. Gabe is a great instructor that has helped me improve my Jiu Jitsu tremendously.

Zangief BJJ, has alot to offer.The training is outstanding.The class size is very good.The mat is large, with no obstacles.Tons of parking 👍

Great training. More important is the environment inside the gym that keeps me coming back year after year. I’ve been a part of this team and member of this family for 6 years and I wouldn’t train anywhere else in Vegas. Highest level training you can find in the area, and most easy going people.

It is a great gym with a great group of guys! Due to my job I prefer to not have people playing with my legs too much. Everyone was very receptive of this.

Awesome gym with awesome people, the environment of this gym keeps one motivated and I’m more than honored to of been introduced to gabe and the team!

Been here 5 months and I feel like Im part of a family. Learning a lot, everyone is nice and wants you to learn and progress. Gabriel is one of the nicest guys in the world. He makes sure everyone is safe and has a good experience.

Zangief is the best place in Las Vegas to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Gabe is a phenomenal instructor and the people who train there are like a family.

Great coach with world class training. Drop ins from some of the best in world of jiu jitsu and the UFC are common occurrence. Large mat space to accommodate big classes.

What an amazing place to train. They have classes for any ones schedule and skill level. Everyone is genuine and there to help. No ego, everyone’s there to get better than the day before. Very family friendly.

Great place to train and learn jiujitsu,in a fun no ego enviromment.

Best and most welcoming place to learn! Everyone there is helpful. Very much of a family atmosphere.

Have known Gabriel Checco for many years and he is a Super Cool guy as well as an excellent teacher. Anyone who trains at Zangief Jiu Jitsu is lucky to train with a tough, technical group of guys and the teaching is Top Notch!

Most welcoming gym you will ever find! Everyone leaves their egos at the door, just a place of humble learning and some straight monsters!

Gabriel is an amazing instructor. My son trained under him and learned some amazing jiu jitsu. His students are awesome. Everyone is friendly and helpful! Id highly recommend this gym!

Awesome place to train super friendly and welcoming.

I gave Zangief 5 stars only because I can’t give 6! Gabriel is a phenomenal instructor and the students are all friendly and helpful. I started here after I retired. So if you’re older, don’t use age as an excuse. I have two fake hips as well, so don’t use injuries as an excuse. Wherever you are in your life, Gabriel will meet you at the door and get you where you want to be. Top notch training and a positive vibe!

Awesome place with an even better instructor and coach. I’ve been looking for a good gym now for weeks and I can safely say this is the one without question . I would easily give this place 10 stars if I could.

Zangief has so much to offer, for all ages. The camaraderie in the gym is like no other, we all clean daily out of respect for the gym and our Proffesor. Gabriel is a high level competitive black belt that continues to share his knowledge on and off the mats. Home away from home! OSS 👊🏻

The best, most professional, gym in all of Las Vegas. Highly recommend.

Zangief Jiu Jitsu is the #1 spot to train in Vegas. Owner/ Instructor Gabriel Checco is a great instructor and has become a good friend. Gabriel and the team have created a welcoming environment that makes you quickly fall in love with BJJ. My time in the gym has always been good times and positive vibes. OSS!

We go for the Tae Kwon Do classes. Here, the is a great family environment and the Tae Kwon Do instructor gives the kids a lot of fun as well as a hard work and very rigorous training. This is a place where kids maintain an appropriate behavior and discipline not only in training class but also at home and school.

Great place to train jiu jitsu!!! Great instructor, great people, great gym!

When I lived in Henderson I trained with Gabriel. I learned a lot from him in a very short time. Not only is he a great instructor, he is a great man! Genuine and always thankful!

The coach is probably the friendliest human you can be blessed to meet and his knowledge of the sport and martial art of Brazilian jiu jitsu is top tier; if you have kids, he’s an amazing instructor for kids too this is the same place to put them in to learn self defence.

I was in town for a conference and was suggested to visit Gabriel at Zangief by a friend at my home gym. Gabriel is very welcoming, a good instructor and his gym is top notch. Had a great time rolling with new people and took a lot away from my short time there.Thanks to Gabriel and all the new friends I met!

Gabriel is a world class black belt on and off the mat a true example of what jiu jitsu can do for you the gym is a family atmosphere no politics just train 👊🏻 OSS!

This is best place to learn Jiu Jitsu in Las Vegas. The teaching and instructional value is top notch. I have been training with Gabriel for only a few months and I have come so far in such a short space of time and my knowledge has doubled. It is incredibly family friendly. Highly recommend. This place needs 10 stars.

Been training with Zangief Jiu Jitsu for a few months now and I love it. The energy, the good vibes all around and mostly the people at this gym are amazing. I never felt out of place when i first started. Everyone was welcoming and willing to help you grow. Professor Gabriel is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and not only does he lead our class to great training and technique but also life lessons making us better people in and out. 100% recommend this Gym. Zangief Jiu jitsu! Fair warning though once you start it gets addicting! It’s not a sport it’s a lifestyle. OSS

I had back injury in March and it led me to gain quite a bit of weight. Today I completed the 6 week jiu jitsu challenge at Zangief Jiu Jitsu gym. I lost 16lbs of body fat and gained 4lbs of muscle. I went from 35.5% body fat to 29.2%. By no means am I done losing weight I plan on losing another 10lbs but I feel great and am really enjoying the new discipline of martial arts. If you are considering starting Jiujitsu I highly recommend Zangief! Gabriel Checco the head instructor is a great teacher and does a great job of making the lessons easy to understand.

World class instruction and great family atmosphere!

Gabriel is a great instructor and competes at a world class level. His students are very welcoming and I enjoy training with everyone there

If you’re looking for an academy to train, either for yourself or your children, Zangief BJJ is top notch! Gabriel’s attention to detail, support to the unique needs of each student and ability to compound each lesson to build on each other is second to none. The environment is family-friendly and the level of talent in this school allows for a student ranging in experience from novice to expert - to elevate their performance.

Best place to learn jiu-jitsu. for kids and adults.

Great for kids, all kids. And adults. Good drills and exercises. Live rolls are at a controlled % to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Thanks Professor Gabriel Zangief, for what u been doing to the city of Las Vegas. Great supporter of the community with the best jiu jitsu program availableExcellent facility, great environmentReally recommendCome check out!!

The two most important things to me for a jiu jitsu academy are the professor and the students. Zangief Jiu Jitsu checks both those boxes and more. Not only are the professors and students amazing, the gym is clean and conveniently located. The academy as a whole is very welcoming to new students. It is well worth every penny.

A gym that drills a lot, and starts on their feet when rolling live. Gabriel is very helpful, and I’m glad to have joined his gym.

Wonderful place to train Brazilian Jiu jitsu with your family! My kids and I have been training with Gabriel for years and we have learned so much! Highly recommend!
