From the reviews

My teenage son has trained at Triunfo for a couple years now after coming over from another local gym where he trained for a while. Great environment, resulting in a very positive experience for him.

★★★★★ — Paul, Apr 2024

This review is overdue - I dropped in from out of town a month ago, and I will say, that Triunfo MMA is more than just a martial arts academy—it's a vibrant community where passion, discipline, and camaraderie come together to create a truly exceptional experience.

★★★★★ — John, Sep 2024

Travel always makes training consistently more of a challenge. Lucky for me, I stayed a few blocks away from Triunfo and dropped in for 9:30am no-gi. Cody ran a fantastic class full of dynamic drilling, positional, and live training (my first fish bowl!).

★★★★★ — Jesse, Oct 2024

What a great spot to train if you're ever around California and you need a place to train with high-level jiu-jitsu and great coaches. Look no further. It was amazing spending my week here with Professor Felipe. Looking forward to coming back again at some point. Thanks team

New to muay thai? Start at Triunfo Jiu Jitsu & MMA

Triunfo Jiu Jitsu & MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, 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 to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at Triunfo Jiu Jitsu & MMA

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
