Triumph BJJ

Triumph BJJ in Nashua, New Hampshire, was founded in 2007 by Professor John Fain, a 3rd Degree Black Belt under Professor Roberto Maia of Boston BJJ. Born in Nashua and raised partly in Virginia, Fain returned to his hometown during high school and later earned degrees in psychology and social work. Before opening Triumph BJJ, he worked as a child and family therapist and college professor. Since receiving his black belt in 2011, Fain has focused on coaching both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors and MMA athletes, spending much of his time developing tailored curriculums and evaluating student progress. The academy occupies a 10,000 square foot facility that accommodates a broad training schedule from early mornings through evenings on weekdays, plus weekend sessions. Classes include gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults at all levels, along with specialized sessions like situational training and technical drilling. Kids’ classes run separately, offering instruction in gi BJJ designed to build confidence and skill. Open mat times are available for students to practice freely and work on techniques outside of structured classes. Triumph BJJ’s approach emphasizes consistent skill development through a variety of class formats, ensuring that students can progress at their own pace. The program director, John Fain, teaches multiple classes daily, including some alongside his son, Johnny. The academy also provides ample parking and supports drop-in students, making it accessible for locals and visitors alike.
