  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!

  This is not my main gym coz it's really far from my house,but I Love it!!!!!! If you are not at Triangle BJJ you are missing out on a wholesome experience. The instructors are kind,well versed and so welcoming,they give great feedback on how you can improve. The people who train there have such a wonderful and welcoming vibe.Am glad I found this place. A big plus is that they work well with other gyms and their members.

  I've been to a lot of jiu jitsu gyms around the world, and TJJ easily stands out for the warm, welcoming atmosphere and high quality instruction. Coach Detroit does an incredible job breaking down and articulating fundamental elements of jiu jitsu. Though I only dropped in for a handful of classes (I don't live in the area), some of the concepts I learned here have become a mainstay in my game. Live rolling sessions and open mats are fantastic too, they maintain a very positive and supportive environment to go along with some tough rolls :) I really can't speak highly enough of this gym. Every visit is an absolute delight, if I lived closer I would sign up here as my main gym in a heartbeat.

  TJJ has an array of options to meet your daily schedule availability. There's BJJ, Judo, and MMA sessions all throughout the week, ran by amazing instructors. There's definitely an awesome community of men and women to train amongst, of different skill levels, with classes available for kids as well.

  I started attending the last February with no experience in jiu-jitsu, nor knowledge of its existence. I am now a 3 stripe white belt in jiu-jitsu and a yellow belt in judo. Classes provide excellent detail, the instructors are patient and great at working in a step-by-step basis, and fellow students are all always very welcoming and supportive. If you are in the triangle, check out Triangle Jiu Jitsu.

  Went there for a competition. An amazing facility. Complete with a shop for Gis, fighting apparel and accoutrements, a chiropractor, spa and obviously a place to train. The Gis are not specific to triangle BJJ so come one come all. The designer is on site and the Gis are great quality. I'm tall and thin, she found a Gi that fits perfectly for me. If I'm ever in this neck of the woods, I'd love to go to hop in and take a class or roll at open mat.

  Awesome place! Family-like atmosphere. Diverse experience: BJJ, judo, wrestling. You choose what you want. If you got kids, the scheduling is perfect - kids classes are every day 5-6 followed by adult classes. Plus early morning classes for early birds. Plus noon adult classes every day. The most wholesome experience in the area.

  This place changed my life. If you are new to Jiu Jitsu or if you are experienced and you're just looking for a new place to train, it's worth stopping by TJJ. The instructors are kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about Jiu Jitsu. Whether you're just looking to get back in shape, or if you've got a competitive itch and you want to challenge yourself at a BJJ competition, you will find everything you need at Triangle Jiu Jitsu Academy. Come with a positive attitude, and the payoff is off the charts! Thanks TJJ!

  Triangle Jiu Jitsu has been one of the friendliest facilities I have ever been to. The instructors have been wonderfully patient with both beginners and veterans alike. The atmosphere here has been amazing with instruction, level of intensity, and most of all the people. You get a wide range of hobby jiujitsu practitioners to people who are in it for the grind. Most gyms and especially schools are defined by their cliental, and I know that I am always safe when I drop in for a class. If you are in the area, please give Triangle Jiu Jitsu Academy a try!

  I love the Gi Fundamentals and Advanced Gi classes. I’m excited to start training some nogi this month as well. There’s also a wrestling class on Mondays, and Judo classes 2-3 days per week, both of which are awesome supplements to Jiu Jitsu. If you have time during the middle of any weekday, they have a 1-2 hour day class in addition to the regular evening schedule. Basically, you’re going to need to do a lot of laundry to keep up with the sheer volume of available grappling classes that you’re going to want to attend. The coaches are awesome - I have trouble deciding how to work my schedule around training with several of them because they all bring something cool and different to the table-- err, mat. The student population is also very friendly and approachable. Several of the upper belts (and experienced white belts) have been super helpful whenever I’ve had a question. It’s a great community, which is very important to me. If you live anywhere in or around Durham (I drive 30 min despite having closer options) and you’re interested in training BJJ, I recommend this place so hard!

  I train here, its awesome, chill, and has a huge variety of skills and styles from people cross training. No niche, long term members only groups or weird stuff like that, they're super inviting and inclusive right off the bat. They understand the working man/womens plight and treat everyone the same regardless of how often you can make it. Just overall super friendly, with INCREDIBLE teachers.

  Super beginner-friendly place! We have zero martial arts experience, so it was very intimidating to get started (esp as a woman), but the culture at Triangle BJJ is very welcoming and helpful. And of course the classes are exciting! The 6:00 classes are more beginner level, in the 7:00 classes they still are careful to explain for newbies and help you, but it moves faster. They seem to be fine with people attending several times for free before you decide if you want to join or not. You don't have to buy a gi right away, either. They are happy to see you when you visit, but there wasn't any pressure or sales at all.

  We were visiting Durham for a few weeks and I wanted to train while away from my home. I attended 4 classes each week and felt my skills growing with each class. Seth's style of teaching is direct and to the point. He doesn't waste time talking too much or going over the skill more than necessary. He introduces a skill, gives some great examples then lets you start practicing. Right about when you realize you're making a mistake he stops everyone and shares some insight that corrects what you were doing wrong. A much better teaching style than cramming too much info up front. Brandon, a brown belt who teaches the morning class was wonderful as well. He brought his knowledge of Judo to the sessions and blended it seamlessly with the Jiu Jitsu skills we were working on. He also has a great teaching style. He began with slow reps of each skill and eventually got to rolling games by the end of class using the skill we'd just practiced. Brandon has a laid back personality and makes class a lot of fun. The rolling after class on Mon and Wed night was great. Several of the higher belts like Detroit and "Juicebox" made real efforts while rolling with me to take the time to point out what I should work on and corrected my mistakes. The entire school has a positive and encouraging feel to it. Overall I was so impressed with Triangle Jiu Jitsu. If I lived here full time, there's no question that this is where I would train.

  Seth, Detroit, Brandon and Andrey are all absolutely fantastic instructors and they've made TJJ my favorite place to train both self defense and sport jiu jitsu. Seth convinced me to get into martial arts a little over two years ago and I'm incredibly grateful my first exposure to the sport was such a positive one. The community at the gym is the friendliest, most supportive one I know - everyone trains hard, but everyone's also there to help each other. Would strongly recommend!

  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

  Triangle Jiu Jitsu is the place you want to be if you are interested in the most versatile martial art on the planet. Jiu Jitsu is the martial art that teaches you that you can defend yourself no matter how much bigger, stronger, or more athletic your opponent is if you have the right technique. How do I know this? I learned it at TJJ. Even as a fresh off the street white belt you will feel welcome at TJJ. The two black belt instructors, Seth and Detroit, as well as the brown and purple belt instructors take pride in emparting detailed and accessible knowledge to anyone interested in putting in the time.

  After training in five other gyms within the Triangle and elsewhere, I can easily say that TJJ is the best in terms of infrastructure and instruction. The gym itself is big and clean, with access to weightlifting equipment, ample mat space, and other combat sport amenities. The culture of the gym is welcoming and positive, with an emphasis on mutual respect and personal growth. Seth's teaching is methodical, approachable, and designed to accommodate all levels of experience - beginners are especially welcome. He is a wealth of knowledge in combat sport history, which informs his ability to translate complex techniques into simple terms. Overall, Seth's instruction makes learning and application straightforward and fun. You'll get amazing instruction in self defense, MMA, and sport BJJ. If I could give more stars, I would.

  Great academy. Great instructor. Update: My last review was unfair. I moved outside of NC 2 years ago and the distance has made me appreciate TJJ even more. This is an awesome place, not only because the classes are high quality, but because of the people. Everyone makes you feel welcome and you feel you are part of the team from day 1. This is not something you get in every bjj academy. One of the highlight of my trips to NC is training with this awesome group of individuals.

  About 2.5 years ago, we called Seth at Triangle Jiu Jitsu and set up a time to meet with him and our 4 year old. Seth was patient, understanding, helpful and extremely informative during that meeting. We started out doing private lessons with seth weekly and when he turned 5 he joined the kids class. In these last few years, my child has learned skills that will help him in so many areas of his life. At nearly 7, he has made friends that he never would have, and he has instructors that he trusts and knows will always help him if he is in trouble. TJJ provides a really nice laid back atmosphere, with so many great people. It truly is one of the best things we could have done for our child. Also, check out their birthday party package they offer!! It blends jiu jitsu with some birthday fun :)

Seth is patient and he really cares about each and every child. I will recommend this school to anyone who will listen! Not only has my son’s technical knowledge of Gracie JiuJitsu grown so has his confidence. If you have a child who is interested in martial arts please give Triangle Jiu Jitsu a try. You will not regret it.

  I just started coming to TJJ three weeks ago, and I'm very glad that I did. I received a very warm welcome from Seth (the head instructor) and from the other people who come to classes. The instruction is detailed and clear, and I love that TJJ's fundamentals curriculum is self-defense-oriented. I also love that there are plenty of people who are blue belts and above that attend the fundamentals class. There are also plenty of white belts who come to advanced classes. Overall, I've experienced a welcoming, positive gym vibe that keeps me coming back to continue to learn and grow.

  Triangle Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic place to learn. The environment is extremely friendly and welcoming to people of all ages and abilities. If you are overweight and un-athletic like I was, they will welcome you and help you to become your best self. Seth is an amazing teacher. His knowledge of Jiu Jitsu is extensive, but he is also exceptionally capable at breaking down his lessons in ways that make learning intuitive. My only regret in joining TJJ is that I did not start sooner.
