We had such a great experience at Warrior Martial Arts! My son absolutely enjoyed the training -- the instructors were attentive, friendly, and welcoming from the very first class. You can tell they genuinely care about helping each student improve while keeping things fun and positive. The studio is large, clean, and well-organized, which made every visit comfortable and professional. The prices are very reasonable for the level of instruction and quality of the program. Highly recommend Warrior Martial Arts to anyone looking for a great place for their kids to train and grow! read more

Warrior Martial Arts has been a fantastic place for our child.

Our oldest had a really hard summer of 2023, with many unexpected things thrown at him. Until, we found Warrior Martial Arts. He is thriving, working harder, confident and wants to be a better version of himself thru the arts and mat chat! Thx to his Shun Shi Fu Adam, Mrs. Kristi and Shifu Holmes for creating a space for him to learn, make mistake, to grow, to be brave and even more determine. Not long ago we signed up our little 4yo to their mini warrior class. He was crying the first two weeks but they never gave up on him. They were so accommodating that our little one is now confidently on the mat having fun learning without anyone holding his hand. Highly recommended!!! read more

Skill, discipline & confidence are some of the things your child will learn if they attend! My child has been here for over 2 years and she loves it! The coaches are amazing and hands on. read more

This place is truly special Not only do the kids learn martial arts, but they also grow in confidence, discipline, and respect. The Shifus here genuinely care and teach life skills that go far beyond the mat. So grateful for such a positive environment for our kids! read more

Great teachers and curriculum. I'm so glad I did my research and ended up here. I couldn't find a martial arts program for my three year old- everything offered around town was for 4-5 year olds. Shifu Holmes (may have misspelled this) is god sent. He offers the perfect balance of fun, discipline and respect. You can tell he genuinely loves the sport and is naturally a great leader with the kids. I had no idea how expensive this sport was- so that would be my only precautionary but I gladly paid because my son enjoyed himself, learned some moves and truly wants to be there. read more

Update: Two years in and Miles is still going strong at WMA. He says he loves going to see his friends and he can learn to protect himself and others! My son has been training at Warrior Martial Arts for just over a year and I love that I have seen his confidence grow. He isn't the most competitive kid, but he has found his voice and has taken all of the lessons, even those not about martial arts to heart. At WMA we have found fun, friendship, and self-reliance and for that I am grateful. read more

My son looks forward to every class. He is learning to be more focused and (is trying to) be a better listener. Shun Shifu Adam, Shun Shifu Holmes and Ms. Kristi are very patient and great with the kids. Definitely worth the time and I couldn't recommend them more than that. read more

Warrior martial arts is a great space for kids to learn how to be better people and to learn the skills of Brazilian Jiujitsu. The coaches here obviously care a lot about their students and the fine art of what they teach. The studio is clean, the families are great, they offer awesome parents night out activities once a month or so, and they are always willing to help out with the kids and learning. Their adult classes are excellent as well. I began attending two weeks ago and I'm already learning my yellow belt kata. They make you fee welcome and supported no matter what your skill level. Highly recommend this place for kids and adults. read more

My son started here about 1.5 months ago. We had trialed a few different places before stumbling in these doors. There was a certain vibe that could be felt from the beginning. Kristi and Adam were both super helpful getting us signed up, without any pressure, just a willingness to help and talk to me about what I was looking for and how they could be that fit for my son. I understand the need to have a heart and a passion for what you do when you choose to be a small business owner, and you can feel it here. Not only is Warrior a small business, but also family ran. They do mat chats with the kids to discuss things like respect, kindness, anti-bullying etc, they host movies on the mat for community building for everyone. All staff genuinely care for these kids and it really feels like a big family! My son loves Coach Jay, but ALL the instructors are so good! Their level of patience with these little guys!? Sheesh! Incredible! We are so happy with our decision and are proud to be a part of the warrior family! read more

My son has been a part of the Warrior Martial Arts (WMA) team for over a year now. He started at age 6 and his progress is absolutely astonishing! He was a little whiney and I also must admit talked back now and then, but what 6-7 yo doesn't? Well the level of discipline he has obtained along with the unity of being part of a close-nit team has done wonders! Therefore leads to the importance of my need to leave this review! You won't find this type of professional training and camaraderie anywhere else like we have found here. It's not just an establishment, it's a family. read more

The Hannah we have before is a very smart and talented girl but she is always shy and not confident to show her talents and skills. She always doubt herself and needs help to cope and overcome with her weaknesses. But, everything changed when Hannah joined Warrior Martial Arts Academy last year around May. Her journey was never easy when she started, and almost wants to give up, but we are very thankful to Shun Shifu Adam, he loves to listen to us and learn more about Hannah. Things gets more interesting when he made Hannah as an assistant teacher or helper to his class. Hannah gained confidence to speak, share and teach other students the new skills that was being taught. Hannah joined the Sparring Team around November, again, she got so scared, but Hannah showed perseverance and willingness to learn and pick up the moves quickly. She joined her first Jiu Jitsu Tournament around April 2023, though unfortunately, she didn't won, but facing her fears, the crowd and her opponent didn't bring her down. That was the day we saw a better Hannah, she became better with coping and we've seen she got way better with facing her weaknesses, It challenged her and the more she showed more discipline and commitment to what she wants to do, her 2nd tournament just happened recently, Hannah didn't won a medal.... But, she won a match, it was a very special moment for Hannah, that moment where she proved to herself that she can do it! There's no words that we can use to express how thankful we are with Shun Shifu Adam and his team. Now, Hannah continues to inspire other kids by sharing her experience, Hannah believes that it's not about the medal, and that it's always about working hard, believing to yourself and most of all, to have fun! read more

Warrior Martial Arts is a really great place! First, All the coaches was very kind, patient, helpful and accomodating to their students. They treated my son more like a family than a student. Second, the place was super clean and organize. Lastly, they're not greedy with money, their main goal is to help the students on their goals and not to make money out of them. My son loves going here and he really enjoy the companion of the students and specially the coaches! The coaches made him feel welcome, cared and most importantly all his sessions was enjoyable, fun and lots of things that he learned. Also, they have junior coaches who helped them with the sessions and the junior coaches are as great as the coaches.

I enrolled my son here almost over a month ago. We have noticed his interest in the class after the first few weeks. My son is the type of kid who has no interest in playing sports and we are so glad we found something he enjoys and looks forward to going. Shun Shifu Adam & Ms Kristi are great with the kids. They do a mixture of karate & jiu jitsu which was great since it provides more of a variety and different skills the kids can learn and gain. read more
