Matt Bryers · Founder and head coach

A student first.
A coach through experience.

Matt began martial arts in 1991, started teaching professionally in 2007 and opened his own school in 2009. His background includes karate, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Japanese Jujitsu and close-range combatives.

“I was not naturally gifted. I sucked at wrestling for a long time. I lost, learned, kept showing up, and eventually became good.”

That experience shapes the teaching: understand the person, explain the purpose of the work and build from what they can do.

The reason for the system

Make the connections
clear enough to train.

Learning more techniques does not automatically explain how to use them together. TRITAC organizes striking, grappling and self-defense around positions, movements and the decisions that connect them.

The Hub makes that teaching available online. Coaching helps connect it to your goals, experience and training environment. The school in Cromwell provides the place where much of that work is taught and practiced.
