Going on four years at Trigon. Both of my children have attended classes twice a week all year round and enjoy each and every class. The instructors do a great job keeping them engaged at all times. It is a great balance of discipline and fun. It has taught them great focus and has built their confidence. I highly recommend their program.
My son joined Trigon Academy and we couldnt be happier. The staff is positive, energetic, patient and encouraging. It has boosted my sons self esteem. He loves going. He recently just tested for a new belt which was such a great experience for the entire family. Highly recommend.
Our daughter has been going to Trigon for 5+ years. She is now 9 and about to earn her Brown Belt! She has learned so much, made lots of friends and her listening skills have improved quite a bit. She loves to go, wishes she could go every day!The owners and staff are first rate. Highly recommended for kids of all ages. My wife and I have even done kickboxing there and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have two children in the juniors program at Trigon, and I am very happy with the progress that each have made under the tutelage of John, Eric and all of the staff. They have found a good balance between fun and work; engaging my kids to ensure that they understand that hard work is directly tied to results.I consider my investment to be money well-spent as my children are growing in confidence and learning a great system of self-defense. I recommend the school highly.
My son started at Trigon Academy a few months ago & it has been a great experience for him. He recently moved up a belt & this has helped him boost up his self esteem. He really loves going every week! The staff is so encouraging, attentive & positive! Highly recommend.
Trigon is not just martial arts classes. It’s family.I have trained there for 7+ years and once you train with them, you join the Trigon family. Sensei John and co. are extremely caring, knowledagable and passionate with every single person that steps in the gym to train.They are very patient with the kids and are really doing what they love. I highly recommend to anyone that is either interested in learning the basics of martial arts or is just looking to get in shape.You won’t regret it.
Our daughter had her first bout of bullying last year and her confidence level was so low. Thanks to one of the instructors, who is a close friend, we signed her up at Trigon Academy. Not only does she love attending her classes, we have seen such an improvement in her confidence with all that she does. All the coaches are so amazing and so dedicated. We couldn’t be more proud of Lacey on her dedication. We highly recommend Trigon Academy.
My daughter has been going to Trigon for over two years now. We could not be more pleased with the training she is receiving there. John and his staff are ultimately professional and treat everyone with respect. They have an unbelievable amount of patience with their students! My daughter is very proud of her accomplishments at Trigon and we are as well!
Trigon Academy is an amazing place. They are exceptional with kids and professionals. Incredible staff who is very attentive with children. Trigon teaches so much more then just kicking and punching . They teach respect, restraint, and self confidence. If you are searching for a place to bring your child to learn all of this then this is the place.
My son has been going here for several years now and my daughter will be starting soon. Owner Sensei John and his family are absolutely great people, instructors are great, and am very happy with our experience. They offer much more than just martial arts instruction for their young students, a great overall experience and life lessons young kids need to succeed. 5 stars.
We’ve been part of the Trigon family for 6 years and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Sensei John and the coaches are so knowledgeable, and teach with such patience and passion. Focus and perseverance are instilled in each student, techniques and skills are honed, all within a fun, positive environment. They are incredible athletes, but more importantly, amazing people. I can’t recommend Trigon Academy highly enough!
My son absolutely loves Trigon. The coaches are all so amazing with the kids. They keep things disciplined but also make the classes so much fun. It keeps my 4 yr old wanting to come back. Trigon has given my son something to take pride in. He takes it seriously and is proud of himself. As a Mom, can’t ask for anything more.
I highly recommend Trigon to anyone, particularly for children. Ive seen my son Brett grow in a way that I know would not have been possible without the discipline instilled at Trigon. Dont get me wrong, the environment is consistently fun for the kids, but in a structured manner that Brett brings home with him. The joy he has with his accomplishments during class and likewise the joy I feel watching him achieve those milestones is so rewarding. It is also obvious the delight that Sensei John and the coaches experience witnessing the childrens accomplishments. My family has a history with Trigon - my 3 nephews Sean, Joe and Paul all went here, and their parents glowed about this place. It was an easy choice for me when I decided that Brett was ready to begin taking lessons. Thank you Sensei John, coach Erik and coach Mike for helping make my little boy into my little man!
Look no further! My (somewhat nervous) kids started here at ages 5 and 7...they look forward to each and every class and watching them during class, they are so happy, engaged and focused. In addition to martial arts skills, they are having a blast while learning focus, respect (for themselves as well as others!), a work ethic, self-esteem, determination...the list could be endless! The staff and the instructors are so kind and sincere. I am thrilled that my children are training at Trigon. I dont write many reviews, but this is a business that deserves it.
We love Trigon Academy! My 5 year old son has been going for two years and has learned so much about discipline and patience. The kickboxing classes are great for adults too...has definitely whipped me into shape! The instructors are fun and knowledgeable and I would recommend to anyone who is looking to join!!
I began training here about three months ago now and could not be happier. Very clean, safe and sanitary facility with marked off areas for training. Every bag and mat is wiped down and sanitized after class.I’ve learned something new each and every class. I’ve been away from martial arts for 25 years and am so glad to have returned. I recommend Trigon to anyone who is looking to return to training in a top notch facility. There is really no comparable work out. Classes typically combine HIIT, skills training, stretching and drills. You will not be disappointed.
My 3 kids trained at Trigon for many years. Their training not only taught them self defense and confidence but going through the step by step belt process with short and long term goals taught them to work hard each day one little step at a time to accomplish any goal in your life (other sports, college goals etc). The amazing teachers at Trigon have been truly wonderful role models in my 3 kids lives. I also kickboxing there and absolutely love the workout both mentally and physically!!
My 5 year old son has been attending Trigon for the past 9 months! He loves coming and can’t wait to go to his classes each week! Sensei John, Coach Erik and Coach mike always have never ending energy each class and make it so much fun for each and every child! I can’t rave enough about them! My son loved it so much he even had his 5th bday there! Look no further if you are looking for a great Martial Arts studio for your child.
This place is great. My son has been coming here for the past year as a 3yr old and the staff is amazing with young kids. The coaches are so patient with the “future dragons”, teaching them basic martial arts skills. And for my son who is very energetic and gets distracted a lot, ive seen it help with his focus and coordination.
Our adventure with Trigon started with enrolling my son, Liam in the summer 6 week session. He seemed to like it and we sent him for help with his focusing. His twin sister, Paige decided she wanted to do it too! For her, we figured it would help with self defense. This was almost a year ago. We’ve been through a number of belt tests, & watching our “babies” grow and learn all of these wonderful techniques that they’re applying to their everyday lives. We love Trigon and we’d chose you again!The staff is very friendly and they all really seem to love what they do. It shows and I know I’m super thankful that I’m sending my kids to an environment like that. Way to go, TRIGON!! -J. Kellenberger 😎👍🏻
My girls, 4 and 6 have been coming for about 3 months so far. They enjoy every class and feel such pride in their accomplishments and the recognition they receive from the staff. While they work to continuously practice the same techniques, every class is different so it never gets boring. I see them practicing what they learn outside of class and they are super excited to show off their moves to anyone that will watch. The instructors are great with the kids, very motivational and really go out of their way to make learning martial arts fun!
About a year and a half a friend from work introduced me to Trigon and since dedicating my self to martial arts my life has changed for the better in many ways. I have become a happier more confident person. Prior to training i never would have thought i would have competed three times in grappling tournaments with only about one years experience. The atmosphere at Trigon is great from the patient caring instructors to the students who were very wiling to teach and accommodate for me when i was a new student. Trigons no ego approach to training makes every class better than the last. I am happy to call the other students as well as the instructors at Trigon my second family.
This place is the best. The instructors love their job, and the kids, and it shows. My son has been going for a few months now and it has made a big difference. He’s able to expend some “kid energy” and has become more respectful at home. They have great programs and they’re very reasonably priced.
My son trained at Trigon for over 10 years. Both sense Mike and John instilled the most wonderful values as they modeled behaviors that he carries with him to this day. I trained as well and built confidence as well as muscles. The best part is the family environment they have created. You really feel at home at the studio.
My 9 & 4 year old boys have been attending classes at Trigon for the past year. I have seen incredible growth in both boys. There is an increase in their attention skills and more importantly self confidence. The classes are amazing and both Sensei are strong role models for my boys.
A friend of mine recommended Trigon Academy’s Fitness Kickboxing classes to me, and I’ve been hooked since the first class! The fitness kickboxing classes are a great way to learn kickboxing moves, technique, and is a great way to get in some cardio and strength training! I try to attend as many classes as possible since I always leave feeling refreshed and motivated to keep progressing! As someone who is used to weight training and has never taken any type of martial arts or kickboxing classes prior, I was relieved to find that these classes are so welcoming! Kathi and Erik are both amazing instructors and everyone that goes there / works there is super kind and helpful! I highly recommended!
Going on 5 years here, my 3 girls absolutely love this place. Sensei John and coaches are so caring and dedicated. Great balance between martial arts training and discipline! I also take kickboxing here and the instructors and classes are amazing, better workout than any gym you’ll go to! Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough about the work ethic, patience, experience and caring nature of Sensei John Giotis at Trigon Academy. Ive had the pleasure of knowing him for many years and wouldnt trust anyone else to teach my kids discipline & respect, how to defend themselves, and most importantly, how to avoid a confrontation. He has dedicated his life to the art and takes great pride in what he does - it shows everyday in the classes he teaches. I HIGHLY recommend Trigon Academy to kids and adults, just starting out, or coming in with experience.
I started my path in Martial Arts close to 25 years ago and trained for several year until other obligations took me away. I got back in the game a little over 2 years ago at Trigon and enrolled my children as well. This place is hands down the best. So good I drive 45 minute to train here. My kids love it and I am on the mat 1-2 times a week. The instructors are second to none and the attention and quality given to students is given with respect and a true desire to hone in on skill and progress. The kids love the classes and learn real techniques and train as the adults do. I give my full stamp of approval and hope you too can get a great workout, meet great people and learn from the best, whether it is Pekiti, muy thai, bjj, goshin jujitsu, or fitness kick boxing. They have it all and also have a schedule that fits every lifestyle. Lastly, check out Sensai John Giotis/owner belt test video on YouTube.
We started our girls there 2 years ago and they absolutely love it. The staff is great and have become like family. Our kids never expressed interest in any of the team sports but they have found their place here and developed skills and positive attitudes that will help them for years to come.
My two boys love going here and are always eager to share with their friends all that they know and have been learning! They not only learn discipline and patience but are becoming stronger and having fun too! I also feel like the staff here are very friendly and skilled, are extremely patient with the kids and seem to just love what they do! It naturally mirrors what they teach. I highly recommend.
Trigon Martial Arts Academy is an amazing dojo for kids, adults and families. Its comprehensive program encompasses multiple interconnecting Martial Arts disciplines Including Goshen and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Pekiti Trisia Kali and Fitness Kickboxing. Classes are taught by well-trained, professional and dedicated experts adept at teaching students at their individual level and training needs. The facilities and equipment are perfect for every level of training and their business hours are flexible making it easy to get to class. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
It is a great training environment for all ages. It is now my fourth year of training here and the senseis know what is right for every age group. When I was in the juniors class, they made the classes fun, lenient and enjoyable. Even in the teens class, even if there is A LOT more physical exercise involved, it is still enjoyable. One of the senseis even plays PUBG and I always talk to him about that. In addition, the senseis know a lot and are very patient and helpful as we continue to develop our martial arts skills. I will recommend Trigon to families with children of all age groups.
I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Trigon for over a year and a half and I could not recommend it more. Having no prior martial arts experience, I can attest to how beginner friendly and inclusive the environment at Trigon is. Sensei John and Sensei Mike are both highly skilled and practiced martial artists and are excellent teachers, something we all know does not always come hand-in-hand. They truly make every student at any age feel safe and welcomed, while also challenging them to heighten their skill levels. Their classes are both fun and practical, truly teaching you the best self-defense has to offer. On top of this, Trigon is a family. Not just focused on better defense skills, but a real sense of support and respect for anyone that steps foot in the dojo.
Fantastic learning environment, instructors have a true love and appreciation for the martial arts. Everyone grows together and lifts each other up. No matter your experience level, there is always something to learn. Sensei John believes in all his students and works with them to achieve their potential.
I have been training at Trigon Academy Martial Arts for proximately two years. The Instructors there have been able to individualize each class to fit the unique needs of everyone. Head instructor and owner John Giotis is an extremely well rounded martial artist who is still actively training, and always bringing something new to revolutionize the game. He travels all over the place to better his practice and teachings. Coming from a wrestling background myself Sensei John was able to get me started on the right foot. He was able to make jujitsu a smooth transition for me and with the individual attention hell give in a class to everyone is one of the key reasons, I believe, I have been improving. Id describe Trigon as a low key gym. Classes arent overly populated which really makes the class and I love how everyones extremely friendly. With everyone getting along it creates a great atmosphere to train! Personally, Im looking to Trigon to compete in BJJ and MMA and Ive been more then enough prepared to begin my journey!
All three of my children started in the little dragons program when they were 5 years old. They are now 16,14, and 12 and still go! I believe that they have become better individuals because of the influence their instructors have had on them both in and out of the class. This dojo is more like family then a business. Cant thank them enough for all they have done!
I have been training at Trigon Martial Arts for roughly 15 years. Over this period of time, Sensei John continues to innovate and revamp the curriculum to make it not only effective in self-defense or competition, but make it engaging and fun for all. Being ranked and affiliated with such high level martial artists such as Tim Waid and Emerson Souza speak to the motivation and skills Sensei John posesses.Each class is informative and worthwhile, whether it be a complete new technique, details to iron out previously learned ones, or drills that put your skills to the test.For whatever martial art you want to learn, Trigon Martial Arts is the place to train.
Highly recommend to anyone that is looking to get in shape or is looking to learn how to defend themselves. The lead instructors, Sensei John and Sensei Mike are both amazing teachers and friends. They really know what they are talking about and steer you in the right direction for success. Been coming here since I was about 8 years old and just doing the jujitsu classes as a kid helped me excel in other sports as well.
Outstanding martial arts academy. Relaxed atmosphere and great training. Bjj, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Self-defense, cardio kick boxing, all in one place. The staff is courteous and friendly. The mats are clean and classes start on time. Great kids programs too. Cant say enough good things about this place.
Jake has been going to trigon for a number of years now. It has always been the best experience. We started during a bring a friend week and never looked back. The senseis make class fun for the kids while they teach them the fundamentals of jiu jitsu. Personally I love the whole atmosphere of the school and what it represents. You wont be sorry if you give them a try.
I have been back training at Trigon for approximately 3 months after a near 1 year layoff and I must say, I am so happy I came back. Whether you are training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Goshin Jiu Jitsu, or Pekiti (Filipino Stick Fighting), you can expect great technical instruction and an incredible workout. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and want to see you progress. The camaraderie between everyone here is just another reason to train at this academy. It is meathead free and the instructors and members are here to help each other progress and become more proficient martial artists. Come down and check a class out for yourself!

2022-02-04Being a member of Trigon Academy of Martial Arts is truly like finding a second family. The people there are warm, encouraging, and challenge you to exceed your past doubts and limitations in a fun atmosphere. It is a safe place for children to grow in self-confidence and to gain new friendships. Sensei John and the coaches are highly qualified and always ready to assist. If there could be a 10/5 star rating, Trigon would deserve one.

2022-03-02This place is incredible with kids. All the staff work so well with all the kids and is so patient. Both my kids go here. So do my kids friends now, so does both my nephews. 100% would recommend trying this place out.

2022-02-04Trigon martial art academy is one of the best gyms I have been at, from the first day of the 20 dollar trial they made me feel like I was apart of their family. The people you are training with are amazing. The coaches are amazing as well and gives you a vast knowledge on BJJ and Muay Thai. John the owner of Trigon is not only one of the best BJJ coach, he is also one of the best person you’ll ever meet. I’ll recommend everyone to come to this gym!

2022-02-06I have been training at Trigon Academy and under Sensei John Giotis since I was 5 years old in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Kali Stick fighting. Now, 17 years later, I credit this experience with many of my best qualities, ranging from my self discipline and respect of others, to my confidence in new settings and ability to persevere when facing adversity. I believe Trigon Acadamy is the best martial art studio I have trained in (for both children and adults) and offers a wide variety of martial arts and life lessons to be learned. Sensei John’s passion for martial arts is clear in each lesson and over time is likely to convert any student into a lifelong martial artist. With instructors focusing on each students needs and growth, a foundation of respect among students and teachers, functional and self defence based techniques, and a community of martial artists- joining Trigon Academy will be one of the best decisions you ever make!

2022-02-04I am typical person who hates to workout in front of others / always second guess starting new things. Sensei John and the group at trigon were amazing and welcomed me in like I was family and it was such a relief / helped me immensely get over that fear of putting myself into new situations. I cannot recommend them highly enough! They are welcoming, kind, help you grow and treat you like a part of a family.

2020-01-25I have been training at Trigon Academy for many years, and have reaped many personal benefits from my training there. The instruction in top-notch, and there is plenty of variety in the class schedule to suit any martial artist. My wife loves the fitness kickboxing classes, and my three kids have trained there for multiple years and absolutely love it! I have made life-long friends here and the group of students and instructors really support and encourage each other. I have witnessed each one of my children display tremendous personal growth while training and have witnessed them develop the attributes of determination, focus, discipline and most importantly, self-confidence. I attribute a great deal of that to their martial arts training at Trigon Academy. I recommend the Trigon Academy for anyone who is looking to develop and better themselves. The skill-set developed while training at Trigon Academy easily translates to any of lifes endeavors. You will not be disappointed!!!
