This place and the instructors here are AMAZING! I'm new to all of it...self defense and Krav Maga. But they are patient and very encouraging! I can feel and see change in my fitness level and skills in a short amount of time. And I'm not an easy student!

★★★★★ — Jen, Mar 2018

Love Triumph Martial Arts! My husband and I started Krav Maga the first of the year and to date, I’ve learned something beneficial from each lesson, that when practiced, I can use in a real life situation if I ever needed to. I leave classes feeling pumped! I can’t say enough about the instructors, they are great!

Your first BJJ class at Triumph Martial Arts: Jiu-Jitsu • Taekwondo • Krav Maga

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
