From the reviews
My son has been going here for the kids jiu-jitsu program pre and post Covid. The coaches are always great with the kids, and this gym seems to have a great community of people. I attended their Muay Thai briefly myself. The coaches are great, and the program has tons of members with varying degrees of experience.
I travel a lot for work so have gotten the chance to visit a larger number of schools than most. Dan and his team are a great example of what the jiu jitsu culture is. Warm, inviting, and instructive while still keeping that competitive edge. Give Triumph a try, you won't regret it.
What a great gym! All the guys that train here are first class all the way. Nick and Dylan are a couple of excellent coaches, and they go above and beyond to help someone feel comfortable when they first get started! Best decision I’ve made in years, to start training here 💯
Triumph is an amazingly welcoming gym with great coaches and training partners. I have been going for 6 months and I feel like everyone there is family. Highly recommend stopping in for a great workout and training sesh. No judgement here ever. All skills levels welcomed.
New to BJJ? Start at Triumph Gym
Triumph Gym 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 Triumph Gym
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.
