Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu

“Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu in Franklin, TN is hands down the best gym in the area! Head Coach Clay Mayfield is a WORLD-CLASS MARTIAL ARTIST with deep knowledge and experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His instruction is top-notch and easy to follow, making it a great environment for all skill levels. The team was extremely welcoming to visitors and made me feel right at home. Shout out to Coach Owen for being super helpful on the mats and taking the time to work with everyone. If you're looking to train in a high-level, positive, and supportive environment, this is the place to be. Can't recommend it enough!”

“We are very lucky we found Triangle Academy. My boy Desmond is currently an 11 year old yellow belt who has been training for 6 years. With traveling and moving, he has trained at 12 different gyms. On the way out of his first session with Coach Clay, he said ‘that was some of the best, most valuable instruction I’ve ever received.’ The drills are precise and Coach Clay expects you to listen closely to his instruction. If you do, good things happen. This is a fantastic gym.”

“What a pleasure! I travel a bunch and dropping in and finding academy's can be a challenge. Triangle Academy was by far one of the most friendly, communicative and great places to train I have had ever had the pleasure of visiting. From Sweden, to London, New York and everywhere in between, Triangle Academy was a real find. Nestled in historic Franklin, Tennessee it is rare to find world-class training with a small town vibe. Also a plus, watermelon juice after training in the Summertime!?! I don't know what they put in that stuff, but it was the BEST watermelon juice, I have ever had - it is not a juice bar review, but it could be! Kudo's to Coach Clay, he has created a truly special place and great environment to learn, train and compete.”

“Are you kidding me? This place is top-notch. Clay and his team are incredibly intentional about continually growing not just their Jiu Jitsu skills but how they serve their clientele. This is NOT a belt factory like some other places we’ve been. The coaches are clearly on the same page when it comes to what’s required of the students to be successful at the sport, and also as a human. Very heart-forward teaching. We love the homeschool class and hope to see that program expand to include multiple levels during the day when other kids are in school. Major selling point for us!”

“Coach Clay and his experienced coaching staff have cultivated an incredible training environment at Triangle. The atmosphere is very welcoming and allows everyone to grow. The Coaches are always helpful, watching out for everyone's safety as well as helping with technique. I am very grateful to have been able to train at such a great Academy with such an incredible class of individuals.”
