Trifecta was created by both Marion Reneau-Perez and Armando Perez Jr. Marion is recently a retired UFC fighter who was at one point Ranked #6 in the World. Marion needed a place she could train so both Marion and her husband Armando decided to open a gym in the community of Visalia, CA. The timing couldn’t have been any better! Trifecta MMA is the premier gym here in Visalia with world class instructors. Marion has over 15 years in mma/striking and14 years in BJJ. She has been battle tested with the best of the best and now coaches passionately unlike any other gym in the area.


Currently, Trifecta has the LARGEST women's jiu-jitsu program in the valley. Ages range from 13 to 57. You are NEVER too old to get involved.


With the right people and support, they were both able to open a martial arts academy … with a GREAT family appeal!


Trifecta appeals to all types of people, FAMILIES especially! There is something for EVERYONE! You will feel the difference in our gym once you step inside! You will receive WORLD CLASS training with some amazing PROFESSIONAL Coaches and Professors and meet/train with like-minded people who only want to see you succeed and excel in the martial arts they fell in love with. Our goal is to discover our BJJ members strengths and work on their weakness offering them the best life-changing experience of training!


We PRIDE ourselves on being a great role model for our students, not only on the mats but off the mats as well. We DO NOT teach our students to lead by intimidation but by example, hard work and humility. We believe building character is far more important than any medal or belt color.

Our affiliate school is the Unique Logic BJJ which was est in 2020. Professor Lucas Rocha is our lead professor and a top World Class athlete in his division.
