From the reviews
Triple Crown MMA is seriously the best! We've been coming since October and it has honestly changed our lives! My daughter does Jiu Jitsu and kids boxing and it has really helped her grow and become stronger and more disciplined and gave her a whole new group of great friends!
I Love my time at triple Crown mma. It’s aFamily friendly environment that really dives into the essence of MMA. Cedric is patient, thorough and encouraging to all levels of athletes. This is the most growth I’ve seen since starting training. 10/10 recommend BE FOREWARNED: You will WORK!
Dropped in for a class with my 5 year old and they couldn't have been any nicer. Super friendly and awesome with the kids. Took their time to make sure my daughter understood all the motions and helped her when she had any issues. Highly recommended.
Triple Crown MMA is an amazing place to train. My son and I started training earlier in the year and haven't regretted it for a moment. The instruction is stellar, the gym is clean and comfortable. Having recently moved from another state, I was worried about finding a place to re-start training.
New to BJJ? Start at Triple Crown MMA Academy
Triple Crown MMA Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Triple Crown MMA Academy
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
