More Than 23 Years of Martial Arts Instruction in Central Iowa
Matt and Chris White founded Triumph Martial Arts in Pella in 2003. What began as one martial arts school has grown into a team of dedicated instructors serving families at two Central Iowa locations.
For more than 23 years, we have taken pride in helping students become stronger and more confident, both on and off the training floor. Our instructors combine extensive martial arts experience with patient, structured coaching that helps students progress safely and consistently.
We believe martial arts should do more than teach punches, kicks, takedowns, and self-defense techniques. Training should help students develop the confidence, focus, fitness, resilience, and practical skills they can carry into everyday life.
Martial Arts Programs for Children, Teens, and Adults
ATA Taekwondo
Our ATA Taekwondo classes in Pella and Urbandale provide age-appropriate martial arts training for preschoolers, children, teens, and adults.
Students learn traditional Taekwondo skills while developing balance, coordination, flexibility, focus, and physical fitness. Classes also reinforce valuable qualities such as confidence, respect, perseverance, and personal responsibility.
Our children’s Taekwondo programs are designed to keep students active and engaged while helping them develop habits that can benefit them at home, at school, and in other activities.
Carlos Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Triumph Martial Arts is proud to offer Carlos Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for children, teens, and adults.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, commonly called BJJ, teaches students how to use positioning, leverage, escapes, takedowns, and ground-control techniques. Training provides an engaging full-body workout while helping students improve problem-solving skills, composure, confidence, and practical self-defense ability.
Our instructors emphasize safe, technical training and responsible partnership. Students learn how to work with their training partners, apply techniques with control, and make steady progress in a welcoming environment.
Our BJJ program follows the respected Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu system and lineage.
Krav Maga Self-Defense
Our Krav Maga classes provide practical self-defense and fitness training for teens and adults. As an affiliate of Krav Maga Federation-AC, Triumph Martial Arts teaches realistic skills designed to help students recognize danger, respond decisively, and escape threatening situations.
Classes include striking, defensive tactics, ground defense, situational awareness, and scenario-based training. Students also improve their strength, endurance, confidence, and mental toughness.
No previous martial arts experience is necessary. Our instructors help beginners build a strong foundation while providing experienced students with opportunities to continue developing their skills.
