My son and I started training at Triangle Academy of Jiu Jitsu in December of last year and we couldn’t be happier. Coach Clay and his team are amazing!! Not only are they great coaches/competitors but great people. The culture is very welcoming, positive and encouraging with no drama. The training is always competitive and challenging but the coaches are always looking out for students safety. I am always very impressed with the kids coaches ability to hold the kids to a very high standard both in their jiu jitsu and their behavior while still keeping classes fun and positive. We are both very excited to be a part of Triangle Academy of Jiu Jitsu for many years to come. Many thanks is to the whole Triangle team!!
I’m brand new to BJJ and have been training at Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu for about a month — and I’ve absolutely loved it. Everyone here is super welcoming, and the coaches do an amazing job making beginners like me feel comfortable while still pushing us to learn and improve. The vibe is really positive, but you can tell everyone takes their training seriously. My 7-year-old son has been going for about four months now, and he absolutely loves it too. He’s gained so much confidence and focus since starting, and it’s awesome watching him get excited about learning new moves and rolling. The kids’ coaches are patient, encouraging, and do a great job instilling discipline in a fun way. If you’re thinking about trying jiu-jitsu, or want a great place for your kid to train, I can’t recommend Triangle Academy enough. It’s such a great community and a fun way to stay active together.

On a personal level, Triangle Academy has played a huge role in my development over the years. I’ve been training here in between wrestling seasons for the past six years, and it has significantly elevated my competitiveness. The intensity, discipline, and high-level instruction kept me sharp year-round and translated directly into better mat awareness, toughness, and confidence. Training here didn’t just help me prepare for my blue belt—it made me a more competitive athlete overall. -Bode Robertson

If you’re looking for world class training and instruction triangle is the place to be. Clay mayfield is a top level athlete on top of being a fantastic coach and mentor. His training is very structured and the environment is intense. Perfect atmosphere for any athlete or hobbyist. One things for sure clays is very respectful and honorable. before I signed up and I was another academy’s student and i would cross train a lot with clays gym he would always welcome me along with his students at the door. He also would text me time to time, just to check up on me and my training. That said a lot about him as a coach to me. So I decided to switch academy’s and I’m so glad I made that decision. I’ve tried all the gyms in the Nashville area .. triangle is by far the best in town. Go check them out 👍🏽
