What can I say, this is a truly amazing group of people. The sense of community and strength of character emanates through everyone here. As someone new to the area, I struggled to find people focused mainly on self-development. That is what I see as the common link between each individual student and teacher who walks through these doors.If you find yourself struggling with discipline and focus and feel the chaos creeping in, I encourage you to take the leap of faith and push yourself to do more and be more. We are plumbers, electricians, carpenters, educators, public servants, professionals, mothers, fathers,, brothers, and sisters. We are students, we are teachers.Dont let yourself get lost in the sauce, become one with the sauce. Work hard, train hard.I cannot thank these amazing people enough for what they add to the community.

I send my kids here for training and they love every minute of it. The instructors are so kind and helpful. We have been with BJJ gyms in several states and Oregon Triad is the best weve seen. Literally everyone there are great people.

Definitely would drink the Kool-aid if they offered itDefinitely a dope place all around

I was in Alabny for work and called these guys to see if I could drop in for a class. Faith texted me back and I was able to train that same night. Travis was the instructor and explained everything very well. I also rolled with him during open mat and he let me work and we had a great roll. I highly recommend Triad to anyone in the Albany area wanting to train jiu-jitsu.

This place is amazing, cant wait to come back and get more training. Wonderful environment to workout in great staff and people there

Ive trained with triad for 1 yr now. And I cant tell you enough good things about this place.This place is for everybody. There is so much to learn from travis vlad justin and amber its insane. They are very knowledgeable and conpassionate about bjj. This place Will humble you and make you confident all at the same time. I love this place and if i could give it more then 5 stars i would.

Fantastic gym. Great people. Family friendly.

Great Gym Great people! When Jiu-Jitsu can re-open you should check them out!

Oregon Triad is a great place to train in the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu. Instructors Travis, Vlad, Justin, Amber and the rest of the crew are skilled and provide excellent instruction. They are experienced working with all ages and skill levels. Beyond the excellent instruction Oregon Triad offers an environment of friendship and safe training. I am pleased to call these great people friends and look forward to training with them for many years to come!

Great instructors! Been training martial arts for years and this place is really nice and clean. Mats are cleaned at the end of each class, multiple classes including a new kids and women’s only class. Instructors are knowledgeable and respectful. The students that train here are also very respectful and safe. If you’re on the fence, come check it out! It’s the only BJJ dojo in Albany!

Great place and great people!

I have been here 6 times as of 9/4/18 and my experiences have been consistently positive....the mats are really nice, the training partners are safe yet challenging, Travis and Vlad (sorry if name is misspelled :)are knowledgeable instructors whom have gained their ranking/experience from a high quality lineage, they teach moves that are accessible, relevant for defense, and relevant for sport...the location is good as well............I have since moved away but people with an interest in training a modern martial art should check this place out.

This is a cult.

This gym is awesome!

Tl;dr: This place is great. Friendly people, clean mats, super helpful instructors. Be here.My experience with BJJ and Triad:I started doing Jiu Jitsu a couple months ago, to get back into shape. I was 5’11 almost 240lbs. After a few months of training 3-4x/week, without really trying to lose weight I’m down to ~225. I havent worked out regularly in 5 years. If you’re thinking about trying martial arts to get in shape, this is definitely a great sport to try. Not to mention it’s way more fun than running if you’re looking for core/cardio workouts.After training for a bit in Corvallis, I was stoked to see a gym open in Albany. The gym has great people, of various ages and sizes (I’m one of the larger guys, but I’m definitely not the largest), to train with. Amber, Travis, and Vlad are great instructors, and they really value each student developing their own style, which allows each person to try new things while also playing to their strengths. Being new, I make a lot of mistakes, and all of the upper belts are generous, both in instruction and live rounds. Quite often, in live rolling, they will point out when I am making a mistake, allowing me to make corrections or reset a position, rather than simply exploiting it. These folks don’t have an ego, and I am incredibly appreciative of that.What to expect when you get there:Classes run for roughly 90 minutes being split into three main components (30 minute white belt class, 30 minute all-belt class, 30 minutes live rolling/practice). Although most classes are done in gi, you don’t need a gi to show up (gym shorts and an old t-shirt work great). The instructors will help you modify what they are teaching for a no-gi situation. Make sure to come with toenails and fingernails clipped, and with good hygiene.At the beginning of the time we warm up. Along with stretching, we do exercises which may engage muscles that you may not normally use, and it may feel awkward at first. That’s totally normal, and folks are super helpful in learning those exercises!White belt/beginner class is a good place to learn the basics and ask lots of questions. We are all learning, so ask away!Advanced class you will probably be partnered with a higher belt who will help you through the moves. You can still ask questions! You might feel like you are asking too many/taking away time for others to learn (everyone I talk with has mentioned that they’ve felt this way before). You aren’t taking away any time from folks and it’s ok to learn here!Live rolling is probably the most fun part of the class. If you’re brand new, it’s a good idea to seek out the higher belts. Not only will you learn more, but you’ll also see better technique (I’m saying this as a white belt… you might feel like you don’t know what you’re doing, but I feel the same way too.) It’s definitely a workout, but you often walk away exhausted and fulfilled.Overall this place is awesome, and I cannot recommend it enough for folks who are: wondering If Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is for them (it is), looking to learn realistic self-defense (you do), or just wanting to have fun and build a great community of folks within Albany (you will).

Great instruction and humble people create the perfect learning environment. Come check out Oregon Triad and I’ll see you on the mat

Great instruction in self defense and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Great group of people.
