When I first met Shawn in 2007, I immediately knew that he was an instructor of a different level. He possessed the rare combination of having physical talent, a cerebral mind, and an unparalleled ability to convey the intricacies of the art to others. I started learning BJJ in 1996 and have trained with countless black belts over the years. I had already been training for over a decade when I met Shawn but I was blown away by his attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and ability to articulate techniques step-by-step as well as the underlying principles of the art. Shawn's technical prowess, world-renowned teaching ability, and his patience and support as a mentor are what has allowed me to accomplish my own goals as a black belt and school owner. He is committed to all of his students and truly believes in their potential. Shawn continues to inspire me and others with his relentless desire to improve as a practitioner and teacher. His passion and dedication to BJJ is evident in the many roles he has achieved throughout his career: high-level competitor, innovative teacher, pioneering commentator, and dedicated entrepreneur. Anyone would be extremely lucky to have him as an instructor and mentor. Alexander Aung 2nd Degree Black Belt Head Instructor, Common Ground Jiu Jitsu

The owner would not let me out of the "contract" which wasn't even explained to me in the first place.

I was fair in my explanation. The owner said he is going to send my account to collections. This just furthers my judgement call to have my daughter go elsewhere. This is who my daughter is supposed to learn discipline from? Structure? Someone who is supposed to set an example. No thank you. Don't waste your time having your child go here. They also draw on your child's uniform with a permanent marker. So unprofessional. The instructor spends half the class as a salesman talking about promotions and other marketing measures to sell things. Your using my daughters class time which isn't much to begin with to sell your ridiculous products. This school is only out to make money. Other schools offer so much more without any ridiculous fees or memberships. Do your research before picking a school for your child. This isn't the one.

I just moved to Franklin and was in need of something to do and a community to join. After hearing about the gym from one of my teachers, I started going to Triangle about a month and a half ago. Since starting the coaches have been extremely helpful and supportive. Clay is a phenomenal teacher. As I've been learning the basics he and the other coaches have answered any question I've had. From learning how to fall properly to learning how to escape from a guillotine. No matter if you are a beginner or experienced with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Triangle has been one of the bright spots I've had since moving here. They have multiple classes a day, every day of the week. I attend the 6:00 am classes on Tuesday and Thursday. They have kids classes as well if you are looking for a safe yet challenging activity/sport for your children to try. I can confidently say I plan on going here for the foreseeable future. I just want to say thank you for welcoming me in to the gym and having me be a part of the Triangle family! read more

Triangle is a top notch jiu-itsu school. You can expect to be welcomed with open arms the moment you walk in the door by both the staff and the students. Owner and head coach Clay Mayfield is a super nice guy, on top of being a friggin' beast on the mats. He hails from Pedigo Submission Fighting team, which has burst on the scene in recent years with a reputation for churning out world champions. Training intensity at Triangle Academy is high, with a strong emphasis on competition. They also focus on takedowns, judo and wrestling more than most other schools i've attended. In addition to competition training, they offer classes for all levels, and have an excellent kids program. I actually train at a different school across town, but enjoy cross training at Triangle regularly, where I have always been made to feel thoroughly welcome. If you live in the franklin area, I'd highly recommend paying Triangle a visit- you'll love it! read more

I'm notoriously picky when it comes to gyms, but Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu has truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the great atmosphere - friendly faces, clean facilities, and a sense of community that's hard to find elsewhere. The coaches are top-notch, with a depth of knowledge and patience that's impressive. They take the time to explain techniques clearly and provide personalized feedback that's helped me improve significantly. But what really sets Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu apart is the amazing curriculum. The classes are well-structured, and the techniques are both challenging and applicable. I've learned so much in just a short time, and I can already see the progress in my game. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu. If you're a BJJ enthusiast like me, or just starting out, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't regret it! read more

I was recommended to Triangle Academy by my friend who has been training in the Nashville area for 10+ years. He said that this gym produces the best talent around town and he was not kidding! The whole staff is really friendly and welcoming to both beginners and experienced students. The intro offer is great and Clay, the owner/coach, is really personable. The classes are structured well and there is a lot of attention on each student. They really want everyone training there to be top notch so the level of competition is high and the classes offer a good balance of live training/drilling. The facilities are nice/clean with plenty of mat space and locker rooms. The location is also really convenient. I can't recommend this gym highly enough! If you are looking to try jiu jitsu for the first time or are a world class black belt, you will find what you're looking for at Triangle. Best gym in town! read more

Triangle Academy is, hands down, the best gym I have ever trained at. The level of mastery the coaches possess here is unmatched. I have trained at some good gyms that I thoroughly enjoy and have no problem with, but if you're looking to get serious about jiujitsu, Triangle Academy is the place to be. Coach Clay takes a no-nonsense approach to teaching, which I really appreciate. Some places try to sell "self-defense jiujitsu" and give promotions just to keep students around, but not here. Another thing that sets Triangle Academy apart is the intensity level. Wrestling and Judo are very prominent, and most rounds start from the feet. I've been training here for a little over a month, and thanks to the elite coaching staff, intense training, and amazing training partners, my competition game has been taken to the next level. read more

My kids are homeschooled and we were looking for an activity to get them away from their screens. My son is 11 and my daughter is 7. We tried Triangle and they both have loved every minute of it. The kids have been going about four months now. They have both made some close friends and both have gotten healthier. The coaches are super positive with everyone and my kids love their coaches. They both enjoyed it enough that I decided to join as well. I have been in the adult basic class for a month and love it. Everyone in class is very welcoming, and the coaches are again, very positive and motivating. Its a great workout, but not so prohibitive that the physical work cant be done by a beginner. The three of us are all excited to continue with Triangle! read more

I was totally new to jiu jitsu and wasn't sure what to expect. My biggest fear was going in and feeling out of place or that I was slowing everyone down, but Coach Clay and his team make it easy to get started and build confidence quickly. He's a great teacher, and all the other coaches are just as approachable. You're learning real skills, but never made to feel like you're slowing anyone down. The vibe here is just solid. No attitude, no ego--just people training hard and supporting each other. The gym is clean, the people are friendly, and the workouts are tough in the best way. It's the most fun (and humbling) way I've found to get in shape. Hurts so good haha. If you're new and on the fence, just go. You'll be glad you did! read more

They work diligently to get the best out of each and every student. Clay is an elite leader with elite work ethic and it rubs off on everybody in the room. The gym is immaculate and well taken care of and the showers in the locker rooms are a life saver!

Can't recommend Triangle Academy enough to all adults and children. All the coaches are so amazing at teaching and being patient with students young and old. They will work with you through moves that you don't know to fine tuning the ones you do. The ladies in the class are also such a great group of women to be around. All are encouraging and will work with you through it all. The men in all classes are just so respectful to everyone but especially the women. I have never felt more confident and protected than I do in Triangle classes.
