The testimonials
I came here to train while visiting Las Vegas and couldn't be happier about my experience. The staff, teachers, and students, were very friendly and welcoming, the school is large with tons of mat space, and the environment is very clean. If I lived in Las Vegas this would definitely be my school, and anytime I come for a visit I'll be dropping in.

10/10 would recommend joining the Zenith team. I've been to a handful of gyms here in the Las Vegas area and I can confidently say this gym is by far the best I've been to! Zenith mats are filled with every skill level. Super welcoming to beginners, and super hard rounds for the most experienced. The coaches are kind and teach very well. Here you were learn great skills and meet even greater people.

Great place to learn and train BJJ. My 10 & 12 year olds also train with me. They have taught my kids lessons for on and off the mat. Just wish I would have started sooner

My son and I train at Zenith and it is phenomenal. The coaches and staff are incredibly attentive. My son has learned so much and he has changed from a very timid and shy little boy that would hide behind my legs to a confident, competitive and outgoing kid. The coaches have taught him a lot more than Jiu-Jitsu and we are very grateful. We are here just about every day. The coaches here go above and beyond for their students.
