Triune Jiu-Jitsu Brasileiro

Triune is unique in that they offer extremely strong programs in BJJ and Muay Thai. The gym has a super friendly atmosphere and the coaches provide individual attention to all students, from beginners to seasoned competitors. The two week free trial is a great chance to checkout the gym without any commitment required.
A bit more specifics:
BJJ — Coach Stan has a wealth of experience as a BJJ champion competitor and law enforcement professional. His classes have a nice combination of technical BJJ instruction, conditioning, drills and rolling. There are also a number brown belts that are eager to assist in helping the lower belts.
Muay Thai — Coach Eric has studied under some of the top instructors in Muay Thai in the US and his knowledge of the sport is evident in his teaching style. The regular classes always have a theme where Eric goes deep into a particular technique, sometimes building up the lesson over multiple classes. Under Coach Eric you’ll constantly expand your knowledge of Muay Thai compared to some gyms which focus more on «cardio kickboxing».

Coach Eric is the best. I recomend everyone to try their Muay Thai class out. They give you one week free trial, so if you don’t like it then you can quit. I’m addicted to their intense training, it’s a great workout. Don’t waste your money going to the gym, this class will give you a better workout and it’s fun at the same time. Also, you’ll get to learn Muay Thai fight techniques which is a very fun for me. Stop looking around and just come here. You won’t regret it! Everyone here is friendly, too.

Do you want to get in shape?! Do you want to develop Muay Thai skills while working out?! Don’t shy away from the 1 week free trail of this gym under Coach Eric Faria for Muay Thai. Yes, I was a little skeptic but I did it and I am grateful to have discovered this place. There is not much I can say that is different from the other Unilocalers that have previously posted for Muay Thai training.
I am new and its been a little over 3 months now since joining and I am still loving every second of it. I can say that now since I am not in the gym lol. Although I am new at Muay Thai, coach Eric took the extra time to guide, demonstrate, and develop my techniques. He will assist you in every step so have no fear if you are new like me. It also helps that the classes are smaller so I get the attention that is needed for a beginner.

I found this place through Unilocal — and I am so glad I did! I showed up for a one-​week free trial of Muay Thai and loved it immediately. Coach Eric really pushes us hard so that we’re sore every day and constantly growing in our techniques. I am 28 right now and have never been more fit in my life. The other reviewers are totally spot on, so I’ll just try to fill in the things that aren’t mentioned yet.
The Muay Thai classes that I’ve gone to usually range from 3 to 7 people, so with a small class, you know you’re going to get a lot of attention from Coach Eric. I go to the 5:30pm Muay Thai class, which is followed by the Fight Shape (conditioning) class at 6:15pm. There’s also a 7:00pm Muay Thai class if you can’t make the earlier one.
Eric is such an awesome coach — not only is he a great fighter in his own right, but he is a passionate teacher who is constantly encouraging us and giving us tips. Fun fact: we actually have the Muay Thai class inside the very same ring he won one of his belts in.
Don’t hesitate to drop in for the free trial! Hope to see you there!

Training Muay Thai with coach Eric is truly a rewarding experience! I got my start back when I was 17 and had to move shortly after turning 18. I continued to train full time and am now almost 20, but he still amazes me every time I visit for a session with his knowledge and the way he teaches. Having a one on one session with Eric will leave you with a lot more techniques than before and make the skills you already have much sharper. Get in his class quick if you really want to learn Muay Thai the right way!!!

Eric Faria is the freakin man. Training Muay Thai can be quite Intimidating. But the guy can work wonders regardless of experience. He will be able to bring you up to speed and sparring in no time. Great fitness program also. The gym is top notch, but Eric is definitely one of those great coaches that will make you love the sport.

I cannot say enough great things about training Muay Thai under Eric Faria. I would recommend training under Eric to all my friends and family. He boasts a wealth of experience and knowledge and his resume speaks for itself. His style of instruction is extremely constructive, in depth, and you can really feel his love for his craft. I’m hooked. Here are just some of Eric’s accomplishments for you factual Unilocal’ers:
2006 — WCSC West Coast Championship Title,
2007 — IFMA World Championship Tournament Bronze Medalist, in South Korea under the United States Muaythai Federation (USMF) National Team headed by USMF Founder & President, Anthony Lin (also President & CEO of Fairtex Worldwide)

The environment is extremely friendly with group classes for children to adult, as well as private 1on1 sessions. They offer a free week trial, so what do you have to lose?

UPDATE:
My daughters are now also taking jiu jitsu. Not only jiujitsu but they also have a wrestling program and muay thai for kids. My kids are now champions because they have the best coaches.

Great place to train. Stan is a capable and experienced coach and he and his wife gave me a great rate for training my daughter and myself. Eric Faria (Muay Thai Coach) is a pro fighter and a great coach with lots of personal experience in the ring. I love here.

Being involved in martial arts since 2009, it’s rare to come across a teacher that’s passionate and dedicated to their craft like a true professional. Finding a legit Muay Thai teacher is hard, but lucky Triune has one at your convenience. Eric Faria has been the one of the most analytical, inspirational, and motivational instructors I’ve ever trained under. Extremely knowledgeable about his craft, not only does he have the credentials to teach, he actually has the ability to teach as well. With the Bay Area being one of the biggest marital art communities in the nation, I would argue that Eric is one of the most qualified and finest instructors of Muay Thai in California, and highly recommend him as an instructor. Beginners, intermediates, and advanced students can easily advance their stand up game by training with Mr. Faria.
Oh, and the gym is huge.

The mat space is in a crossfit gym.
SUPER friendly people. I can’t echo this enough. The week I was there — Stan taught daily. When he didn’t teach, Oj (another black belt) taught. Not many places boast having black belts on the mat constantly. I only saw one other white belt there — which can be rough some people new to grappling — but I personally think it’s better. Everyone went out of there way to help with techniques.
They can help you with mistakes you’ve learned and rolling and it’s always a humbling experience.
Not sure if I can fit it into my schedule or if gi focus is what I’m looking for, but I whole hearted recommend to anyone who is interested in gi focused /​competition /​or self defense. I also attended their Friday wrestling class which was good.
The week I went, classes were always a great size — small to medium size so everyone got ample attention.
They make it a primary focus to let you know how the skills apply in the real world as well as comp — which is really nice.
They offer a two week free trial — no pressure/​no bullshit — I was only able to take advantage of one, but really good peeps teaching really good technique.

The Muay Thai class with coach Eric Faria is awesome. He teaches a more traditional boxing technique. Eric stresses the basics and enforces good technique. On Fridays we practice clinching and then sparring rounds. He also coaches a conditioning class that focuses on preparing your body to survive the fight. He uses a multitude of drills including the use of Tabata rounds, and he constantly changes it up to keep it interesting and fun at the same time. Don’t mistake fun as easy. We have had cross fit coaches state it wasn’t as easy as they thought as they left the mat breathing heavy, Eric is also mindful of physical limitations from injuries and always has a modification if you can’t perform the main excercise. I highly recommend coming in and checking it out.

Great place to train BJJ. Look no further. Family oriented and great with children as well.

I started training here about a year ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Stan Kendrick (2^nd degree black belt) is one of the top Brasilian Jiu-​Jitsu (BJJ) instructors in the bay area (which has many good instructors). He has taught at a few different locations, the last one being at Academy of Self Defense in Santa Clara. He has since left there to open his own school which focuses primarily on the art of Brasilian Jiu-Jitsu.Other instructors include OJ Domingues (black belt) and Ernest Wong (brown belt) who are both legit competitors and instructors. The new home is located at Crossfit Santa Clara. It is a good mix because you can get a package deal that includes Crossfit and BJJ. The atmosphere here is very friendly and everyone who trains here quickly becomes like family. If you are looking to simply learn how to defend yourself, or compete in BJJ or MMA, this is a great place to do it. There are seminars every few months that bring in blackbelts from all over. Women are welcome also, and there are free self defense seminars for them periodically. I can’t exlpain how much good has come into my life because of this place. I plan on training and learning this art for the rest of my life.
Osssss…

What an awesome place to train Jiu-​Jitsu. The coaches (Stan, OJ and Ernest) are all extremely knowledgeable and talented in the art and each has his own unique style which you will come to appreciate. They all teach on different days and I encourage you to go to all of their classes. I started with my coaches here completely new to the art. Everybody is here to learn and grow and help those around them get better. You feel like you’re part of a family – and that’s important because you have everybody’s motivation fueling you which will keep you coming back for more.
