THE MARTIAL ARTS WORLD
HAS NOT BUILT THIS YET.
A gym that teaches a system, not a franchise curriculum, has to build the system itself. Most do not. We did.
A system that gets sharper the more people train it needs a brain to remember what each person trained. That brain did not exist when we needed it. We built that too.
This is what we mean by rethinking how martial arts develops. We are building a real training system, working in the open, getting sharper every week.
THREE CONNECTIONS. ONE SYSTEM.
Most schools leave the connective tissue of martial arts implicit. We make it explicit. Three connections run through everything we teach.
THIS IS WHAT A MEMBER
SEES ON DAY ONE.
The Hub is the brain. It knows where each member is in their training and shapes the next session around it. The member does not see the brain. They see a daily mission. They train it. The brain learns. The next mission is sharper.
THE BUILD,
IN YEARS.
The system traces back to a small private group in the early 2000s. Matt, John Leabo, and Mike Simon named the collective in 2015. The training center opened in 2017. The brain started in 2024 after one failed attempt. The current build is what you see today.
- CHAPTER 01~2000
A small private group.
Matt starts Kobukai Jujitsu under Shihan Russ St. Hilaire. Trains Kyokushin under Shihan Fujiwara. Trains BJJ under Luigi Mondelli. Starts a small private training group with Oz Pariser.
- CHAPTER 022015
A name for what we were already doing.
Matt, John Leabo, and Mike Simon name the collective TRITAC. They had trained together privately for years. The name describes what was already happening, not what they planned to start.
- CHAPTER 032017
A building of our own.
The Cromwell training center opens as The Cage JSA. Full mat. Full cage. Full strength floor. The first place TRITAC could be taught the way it was meant to be.
- CHAPTER 042023
All in.
Matt buys out his partner and renames the building TRITAC Training Center. The brand and the place become one. The collective goes full time.
- CHAPTER 052024
The first attempt at a brain. Abandoned.
A first try at a training brain, built on a low-code platform, gets shipped and then shelved. The tech was not ready. We knew it. We waited.
- CHAPTER 062025
The build, in earnest.
AI capability catches up. The current Hub, the spine, and the Flow Builder begin in earnest. Members start training inside the brain. The system starts learning.
