Team Trident

Don't Be Fooled by Imitations! 

Team Trident Martial Arts (TTMA) is the ONLY certified martial arts academy in North Eastern North Carolina. What does this mean to you? It simply means that there is a legitimate lineage to what you are learning. With the popularity of The UFC, many self-proclaimed martials schools are popping up everywhere, but TTMA is a licensed affiliate of ALL the arts offered.  In other words, we have been trained by the governing body and have been granted the authority to represent each particular system we offer.

Trident does not specialize in fitness!  Rather, fitness is a side benefit of “learning” how to defend yourself. All classes are dynamic and you will get a great workout regardless the style. We specialize in real-world fighting, self-preservation and family values. We train like fighters; creating warriors not for sport, but rather for real life situations.  If your goal is to fight in the ring we can help, but only on a case-by-case basis.  The arts we teach are fully functional.  There are NO forms or Katas.  We use elements of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, Boxing, Filipino Kali, Indonesian Silat, Sambo, Wing Chun Kung fu, fencing, Muay Thai, Savate, and Jeet Kune Do.  We strive to provide a safe environment for anyone wishing to experience the martial arts or gain a higher level of fitness.

We will not cut corners at our studio. Quality is our main focus. New members will start to see results in about two weeks. Students will learn in a manner that is easy to understand and fun. While training at TTMA students will have the opportunity to study under some of the worlds best martial artists including but not limited to Sensei Erik Paulson, Master Chai Sirisute, and the legendary Guro Dan Inosanto.
