Tri-Force BJJ

Tri-Force BJJ in Zephyrhills, Florida, is led by Professor Chuck, a second-degree black belt under Master Carlos Machado and an IBJJF Certified Black Belt. Chuck began training in 2005 and spent over a decade competing professionally in MMA, including appearances in the UFC and Bellator. After retiring from competition, he turned to coaching fighters at various levels while drawing on his background in exercise physiology to emphasize injury prevention, recovery, and tailored strength training. His approach to teaching focuses on individual needs and steady progress without intimidation, aiming to help students develop both martial skills and overall wellness. The academy’s instructional team includes purple belts Kris and Chloa, along with gray and black belt Atticus, who is part of the family-run school. Kris, who started training in 2021, is known for breaking down techniques into accessible details, making them understandable for all levels. Chloa applies her knowledge of developmental psychology to help design curricula that support skill retention and gradual advancement, especially for younger students. Atticus works closely with the youngest kids, encouraging enjoyment of the art while fostering confidence and growth. Tri-Force BJJ offers a full schedule of classes for all ages, including gi and no-gi sessions for adults, competition-focused training, and specialized kids’ classes split by age groups starting as young as three years old. The facility is wheelchair accessible and welcomes drop-ins. The academy operates from 7345 Gall Blvd, continuing its mission to share the benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a setting where steady growth and personal development are the priority.
