I started my kids (ages 9 and 11) at Triple Crown MMA Jiu-Jitsu Academy about four months ago, and they absolutely love it. The professor and coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and great with the kids. We’ve met so many wonderful people here and always feel welcome. It’s been amazing to watch my kids grow in confidence, discipline, and skill β€” and it’s even inspired me to start training as part of my own fitness journey. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a family-friendly place to learn jiu-jitsu and be part of a great community.

When we arrived for our first class, the parking lot was packed. It was essentially a make your own spot situation in a gravel lot surrounded by other businesses. We walked in to find twenty small children loudly running from end to end, chasing large exercise balls, tackling each other and the teachers, some kids shoving others against the walls. No clear leader or direction.

We wait our turn to get signed in and introduce our son. We were upfront with every person we spoke with that our son had autism. We weren't sure how he would do in the environment but they provided positive answers that lead me to believe we were attempting class with the right people. My son is verbal, very social and loves acting out Kung Fu Panda.

However, our actual experience was anything but positive. The instructor's solution to our son not wanting to immediately join class was to take him from his parent's arms and say 'its time to go now.' My son kicking and screaming. Maybe this approach has worked in the past. Maybe this is the approach they always take and I misunderstood their level of understanding with autism.

But I wholeheartedly believe that if he had been given the chance to observe the class versus participate, he would've been happy to join in later. We will not know because my son spent the entire ride home and the hour before bed talking about being grabbed by a stranger and not ever going back.

I have been training here at TCMMA for a few years, and it's a great place with a good environment safe for kids and adults to learn the gentle art of Ju Jitsu and kickboxing.

Been going to Triple Crown MMA for about 5 months now. I am 37, overweight, and was looking for options to help stay active. I discussed my goals with Cedric and got in for some classes. I love it here, and everyone is great. I recommend Triple Crown MMA to anyone with kids, or yourself if you have fitness goals. I have two children ages 7 and 16 that joined as well. If you are nervous like I was, push yourself and give it a shot. You'll be glad you did.

I started my kids here (4,8,11), then I started, then my wife. It's become a family habit to practice jujitsu on a daily basis. I started at 39 years old, and there is a good spread of ages in the adult classes. My family has now been extended the to triple crown family. This has been one of the better decisions I've made to make my life much more enjoyable!

After my 3 day free trial, my decision was easy. They do amazing things with kids even those that need a little extra attention. The adult classes coincide with the kids classes so it is extremely easy and convenient for me to get my work out in while the kids enjoy their classes as well... amazing atmosphere and very inviting... love love love this opportunity that I wasn't even aware I was looking for!!! I'm learning so much while having fun and getting into shape... highly recommend

This is a great group of skilled and knowledgeable people in a family environment. This place offers multiple training opportunities throughout the day and the ability to take advantage of all of them for one price. I highly recommend the AM kickboxing classes, but I haven't had a bad class in the six plus months that I've been going.

Great coaching and awesome people here! My family found an activity that we can all do together. My son is 9 and we are both 45. Lot's of different kinds of classes at different times of the day makes it easy for us to participate often. It has made huge improvements for my son's confidence. If you are looking for something that is challenging and rewarding, this is the place!

I've been with this TCMMA gym family for about 14 years now. Great family environment. My son and GF both train here. Great place to get in shape, to compete at high levels or anything in between. Their instructors are top notch. Facility is always being updated to look better. Come check out a free class or two!

Triple Crown MMA is seriously the best! We've been coming since October and it has honestly changed our lives! My daughter does Jiu Jitsu and kids boxing and it has really helped her grow and become stronger and more disciplined and gave her a whole new group of great friends! My husband and I do Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing, and utilize the weight room and it is unlike any gym we've ever been a part of! Everyone is so supportive and aims to push you towards your goals. It is such a family friendly environment and we are so proud to be part of the TCMMA family!

Triple Crown MMA is an amazing place to train. My son and I started training earlier in the year and haven't regretted it for a moment. The instruction is stellar, the gym is clean and comfortable. Having recently moved from another state, I was worried about finding a place to re-start training. The staff and students have all been great to work with. It is certainly a place we will be sticking with for the long haul. The kids classes are a great way for your littles to start in BJJ or boxing. The instructors make sure they get the guidance and instruction that is relatable for their age, while making it fun and engaging.

If you are on the fence about training or not sure how things will go, I would urge you to come in for a trial class and try for yourself. You wont be disappointed by Triple Crown.

This is my testimonial on the experience that I have had being a member of TCMMA. I walked into TCMMA after doing my research on the local gyms. There are many variables in which I considered, but Jordan being a member of the USMC was the deciding factor for me to start my MMA training at TCMMA. I have been a member of TCMMA for a year and the transformation I have gone though is indescribable. This journey has not only transformed me physically, but changed me cognitively. In a year I lost 20 pounds (185 to 165). Now I walk around at my nature weight. It is amazing the amount of self-worth that participating at TCMMA has given me. I now have the confidence in myself; I value what I learned and how it transfers over to real life. The classes test you physically and mentally, and it is that experience that broke down barriers that I created and allowed me to grow. I am a better person not because I go to TCMMA, it is because I apply what TCMMA gave me, life lessons through physical activity. This experience has taught me self-control, humility, patients, and compassion.

I came to this gym as a promise to my daughter who went on to become one of GOD’s angels. I started with boxing, Muay Thai, and kick boxing. Wow, it is amazing to see how Jeff has transformed me. My footwork, combos, cardio, and strength and been taken to level I didn’t think was obtainable. Working with Jeff, I have learned to believe in myself and my abilities. Jeff is still breaking down some barriers I have. The awesome part is that he breaks them down on at a pace that is tailored to me. Jeff has been very influential in my growth at TCMMA.

One day, I adventured over to the other side and fell in love with BJJ. I started doing private lessons with Tyler Hampton, which has helped with my BJJ abilities. The first lesson I learned in BJJ was that no matter there is somebody that humble me. Then the learning starts, patients, mercy, joy, pain, excitement, and many more lessons are learned on the mats. These lessons have taught me that I have abilities I have never been unlocked, until now. I have become a better version of myself.

This gym is a complete gym. It has what I needed to be successful. When I say they have what I β€œNeed”, that β€œneed” is that I am now a part of something bigger than the place to get into shape. I am not just another person that comes to a gym. When I walked in the door it started something greater, a new family. I believe in this gym so much, my wife and my son are members at TCMMA. The investment that gym has to offer is priceless.

My son is about to leave for the USMC, so my wife and I decided we needed to start preparing him for the Corp. I asked Tyler Hampton if he would do a 6 week cross fit program with my son and me. With no hesitation Tyler was on board. As a father, I am more confident that my son is prepared for boot camp. Tyler not only did cross fit, he drilled him on things he needs to know, he put him though some intensive training to push my son. Tyler not only invested time into my son, but he gave my wife and me comfort and that is priceless.

When I come to the gym I observe things over time. I see members doing odd and ends around the gym. I often wondered why and how these members got stuck with these tasks. I know now, it is because the owner has compassion for his members. These members that help out around the gym are doing so, because they want to train, but due to life
circumstance at the time, the expense is beyond their means. So, instead of saying you can’t train here, Jordan demonstrates by example. He has shown me that the love of his members is bigger than money.

All I got to do it drive to the gym, walk through the doors, the transformation starts then.

I joined this gym in May 2019 and LOVE IT! The instructors are knowledgeable and have never made me feel incompetent or uncomfortable, which is a big thing to me since the kickboxing and jui juitsu are all new to me. They are very welcoming and encouraging to people of all skills and ages. I've been learning new skills with a great bunch of people that feel like family now! The best part is that the instructors know their skills well and have competed in their specific sports - so can bet you are learning the real thing!

Both of my sons enjoy every second they spend in a class at this gym. I somehow followed suit and am now a student as well. The coaches push them to learn, improve, and be one with their "gym family" (the other boys and girls they work with). My boys are 3 and 5 and they look forward to going every week. It is a very unique skill set that can be learned here. Along with perseverance and dedication to this craft I know they are getting a robust experience from TCMMA that can benefit them throughout life.
