Triangle Jiu Jitsu Academy

Triangle Jiu Jitsu Academy in Durham is known for its hands-on, practical approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grappling arts. The team is led by a group of experienced black belts, including Brandon Brown, Rod Hanson, Alexander Lahman, Tung Vu, James Hogaboom, and Kevin Bacon. Each brings years on the mat and a direct teaching style, focusing on building both solid fundamentals and advanced skills through real training. The instructors are often on the mats with students, guiding classes and rolling alongside everyone. Classes at Triangle Jiu Jitsu cover the core of BJJ with both gi and no-gi options for adults. There are dedicated fundamentals classes, taught by Kevin Bacon, that emphasize the basics for newer students or anyone looking to sharpen their foundation. For those interested in takedowns and standup work, Brandon Brown leads an Intro to Judo class, adding another layer to the school’s grappling focus. Early bird sessions and day classes make it easier for people with different schedules to train, and the open mat sessions are a regular part of the week, giving everyone a chance to get extra rounds in. Kids have a place here as well, with both gi and no-gi classes led by Brandon Brown and Tung Vu. The environment is straightforward—students are expected to show up ready to learn and put in the work, regardless of age or background. Triangle Jiu Jitsu also offers sessions like Eco Suave Rolling, focusing on technical, controlled sparring. Drop-ins are welcome, and the academy is wheelchair accessible, making it easier for visitors and locals alike to get on the mats.
