Coach Meshel Gill is amazing! Both my daughters have grown so much over the past 6 months. I’m seeing improved, discipline, dedication, and strength in both of them. This is a combat sport, coach Gill will challenge your child. If you get out of your “mommy brain” , into training mode, your child will reap the benefits and have learned valuable life skills! Coach Gill has a gift of balancing toughness and compassion in the right moments! This is a gift and she’s an amazing instructor!

My youngest especially. Defeat has been a real struggle for my youngest. When she was beat in a grappling match Coach Gill took the time to sit with her and lift her back up. She said in a match your going to be a hammer or a nail. Sometimes when your learning your going to be the nail, but with every loss you learn something and it makes you better. So your not really loosing your always winning! Then when you get better you will be the hammer. So now if she doesn’t win a match and even in school she’s applied what she’s learned. We have less tantrums and emotional outburst when she looses at something. She says well coach Gill says...... She’s correct! Coach Meshel Gill is a powerful female role model for young girls to learn from. I highly respect her and her training methods! I am seeing amazing growth, confidence, and commitment in my oldest as well. Given how stressful high school, college , and life can be this is a great experience for them both! Thank you coach Gill! You’re awesome!

My son has been going there for over an year now. We have had the best experience with warrior martial arts. He enjoys it and I can definitely tell he has a boost of confidence from this training and learned skills and techniques to defend himself, Also my daughter she is not even 2 yr old ready to start training...😊

Both of our sons have been taking Mixed Martial Arts at Warrior Martial Arts for several years now and we can't say enough good things about the entire staff and their program. While the goals for each are different, I know they are both receiving the best training possible while the instructors instill the necessary skills for them to become leaders that display discipline, confidence and respect in any situation.

Both boys have grown so much while at Warrior. They are much more confident and respectful, and have improved their overall athletic abilities across a number of different sports. The staff works really hard to come up with fun and creative ways to keep all the students engaged, so much so I have a feeling the kids often don't even know that's what they are doing. Best of all, Warrior Martial Arts is creating a family environment where our boys have created lifelong friends through the various "social" activities offered to us.
