"I dropped in while I was in town for a couple of days. The coaches and students were all very welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about learning. I particularly enjoyed their no- gi class. Looking forward to training there again!"

Amy Hogaboom

"I started taking the women's Jiu Jitsu classes here and absolutely love them. The women are so welcoming and friendly."

Elijah Sacra

"As a US. Marine Corps Veteran, Exercise Physiologist and Functional Medicine Health Coach for over two decades, I am always on a relentless quest to find the best practitioners to support and guide me in every genre. From day one as a White Belt stepping into my first Jiu Jitsu class, Royce Gracie Black Belt Seth Shamp and the TJJ Community made me feel welcome and included. Bring your family and friends! My wife and two kids all started at the same time and TJJ is a friendly, no ego, family environment. Seth executes every class I take with him in an extremely accessible teaching style that was simple but precise. His excellent attention to detail in regards to lesson plans serve all of his students at every level. Additionally, he takes the time to address lifestyle modifications, exercise, and ways strengthen the mental state that reinforces the larger practice of the art. Thanks Professor Seth Shamp and Triangle Jiu-Jitsu! Elijah Sacra"
