In this episode, I sit down with Clay Mayfield, a Pedigo Submission Fighting black belt under Heath Pedigo and the founder of Triangle Academy. Clay shares his inspiring journey from being homeschooled to becoming a respected black belt and academy owner.
We discuss the importance of finding the right training environment, building a strong community, and balancing the demands of competition, business, and personal growth. Clay opens up about overcoming injuries, the lessons he’s learned as both a coach and competitor, and how he’s cultivated a positive, supportive culture at his gym.
From belting criteria and youth development to the impact of judo on modern Jiu-Jitsu, Clay offers deep insights into what it takes to build not only great athletes but great people.
