About Zoo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

At Zoo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Missoula, Montana, we have been building a tight-knit family of martial artists since our founding in 2015. Started under Robert Brown and now led by Professor Jen Greenwald, our academy has grown into one of Missoula's most welcoming BJJ communities.

We believe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers something for everyone, regardless of age, background, or athletic experience. Our focus is on developing character, mental toughness, and real-world self-defense skills in a supportive environment where everyone belongs.

At Zoo BJJ, we offer adults and kids BJJ classes alongside striking instruction. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or looking to sharpen your competition game, our coaches are invested in your growth and development every step of the way.

Zoo BJJ has an awesome atmosphere. Jen, the owner, is a very impressive competitor with clean technique who puts her all into this space. I've been training 10+ years, been to countless gyms, and I can't think of anything they could do better here. It is home to a lot of dedicated and welcoming practitioners! Highly recommend.

I was in town for work and dropped in to Zoo Jiu Jitsu. Jen was very welcoming! A quick tour of the gym and the high level instruction began. All training partners were highly skilled and friendly. There were several medals on the wall which are simply a reflection of the talent and skill housed at Zoo! Kudos to Jen and team for being such an awesome group. I will definitely be coming back and recommend Zoo for anyone looking for high level training.

Check your ego at the door: if you have a problem with this gym, it just might be you! The environment and the people are incredibly welcoming and supportive. It is clear that everyone there wants to learn and improve AND help others to do the same. Bob, Jen, and all the instructors are competent, kind, and incredibly helpful. If you want to challenge yourself, learn some new things, improve your mindset and mental discipline, sweat a whole bunch, meet some incredible people, and leave a place better than you came to it, I’d recommend Zoo BJJ 100%!!

My brother and I look forward to every class. The instructor is very welcoming, dedicated to progressing the sport, and a well rounded grappler. I recommend Zoo BJJ to everyone interested in the Missoula area!

Zoo Bjj is the best place around to train. Bob is a true black belt and he creates an awesome environment to train Jiu-Jitsu. He’s great with kids and he’s teaching my two young children how to be marshal artists. I feel lucky to have him and all the people training in our lives. Come check it out for yourself and join the family!
