Triune Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

Triune Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense is guided by a team of black belts including Josh Doctolero, Philip Hsia, and Alex Vargas, who bring a diverse martial arts background to their Santa Clara location. The academy operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, focusing on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu alongside complementary disciplines such as Judo, Muay Thai, and Wrestling. This blend supports their mission to empower individuals not only through grappling skills but also with practical self-defense and anti-bullying techniques. Training at Triune covers a broad spectrum of classes for adults and kids, with a clear structure that separates gi and no-gi formats. Adult students can attend morning and evening sessions that alternate between gi fundamentals and no-gi classes, led primarily by Josh and Philip. Kids’ programs emphasize no-gi training but also include gi classes, all under the instruction of Josh Doctolero. The academy also schedules open mats several times a week, providing students with space to drill and spar beyond formal classes. Beyond Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the school offers specialized classes in self-defense and Judo, acknowledging the importance of a rounded martial arts education. The facility is wheelchair accessible and located at 3194 De La Cruz Blvd, positioned for easy access within Santa Clara. Triune’s approach reflects a commitment to practical martial arts training rooted in both tradition and community service rather than competition alone.
