Our History:

Triumph Fight Academy, originally founded by Isaac Richard in 2017 as Indian Land Martial Arts Club, began as a small gym catering to first responders and veterans in an old fire truck garage. Initially focusing on submission grappling and striking, it moved into its first official space later in 2017, becoming Indian Land MMA and adding a Jiu Jitsu program. In early 2019, Avery and Ashley Richard took ownership, leading the gym through rapid growth. By November 2019, it expanded to a 2,500+ square foot facility, allowing for more classes and improved training. In March 2021, the academy relocated again to a 5,000+ square foot facility, further increasing its capacity and offerings. Shortly after, the gym was renamed Triumph Fight Academy, continuing its mission of building community and promoting fitness through martial arts.
