Martial arts near Grambling
If you live in Grambling, you're closer to serious martial arts training than you might think. Triad Martial Arts Academy of Ruston sits just east of you on South Vienna Street, about a ten-minute drive via I-20 and LA-150. That puts a BJJ black belt, a certified USA Judo instructor, an active professional MMA fighter, and an IBJJF World Champion within easy reach of your daily routine — whether you're training before work, after class, or in the evening.
What Grambling residents train at Triad
Grambling is a college town, and our schedule is built around real life. Adult Gi BJJ runs Monday at 12:00 PM and 6:30 PM and Thursday at 6:30 PM, with Adult No-Gi BJJ Tuesday at 12:00 PM and 6:30 PM and Thursday at 12:00 PM. If you're new, our Adult Beginner BJJ class on Monday at 5:45 PM walks you through the fundamentals at a comfortable pace.
We also run kids classes for ages 4-15, a homeschool gi class, Judo, MMA, kickboxing, and a women's-only program — so one short drive from Grambling covers the whole family. Classes run Monday through Saturday, and the drive from Grambling is one of the shortest we see.
Why make the drive from Grambling?
What you're driving for is coaching depth that's hard to find closer to home. Owner Josh Lee is a BJJ black belt under Daniel O'Brien, a 2nd-degree Judo black belt, and a professional MMA fighter since 2009 who still competes. Our women's and kids classes are led by instructors including a 2022 IBJJF Masters 1 World Champion.
You're not just close to a gym — you're close to a world-champion coaching staff in a family-safe culture with no negative talk or cursing. For a ten-minute drive, that's a rare combination.
