Why Gables grapplers make the trip.

Coral Gables has no shortage of fitness options, but a jiu-jitsu room with depth is harder to find. Depth means training partners at every belt, coaches who have cornered competitors, and enough classes that you can train on your schedule instead of the gym's. KO Zone has been building that room since 2005.

The curriculum progresses cleanly from your first day: fundamentals, guard, passing, escapes, submissions and takedowns, with gi classes for the positional game and no-gi classes for the faster, ADCC-style game. Most members train both.

From the Gables the drive is simple: Coral Way east to I-95 North, then exit at NW 54th Street. Off-peak it runs about 18 to 24 minutes depending on where you start, and parking at the gym is free.
