About Being One of the Biggest and One of the Greatest!

Yes, Warrior Martial Arts Academy has one of the biggest Competition Teams in the DFW area. And yes, we win lots of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments. But friends, remember that we started small. Warrior Martial Arts Academies launched in 2013 and we grew our Competition Team to the scale it is today.

Just a bit of history: our team started about as small as you can get. Our first Competition Team had two kids that we took to Oklahoma for our first tournament (see photo of Julian and Karson). We just went to fight. No team rash guards. No patches. Just these kids with heart and drive and fearless determination. On that day, EVERY team was bigger than ours, but it didn’t stop us.

We are proud of our team and how large it’s grown and we are lucky to be part of a BJJ community that is thriving in Dallas. We have adults and kids competing at every level and they all take home their share of Gold medals, thus proving that you CAN have high quality at a large scale. These two concepts are not mutually exclusive. Anyone with any familiarity at the national or international levels of large, successful organizations is aware of this.

Also remember: We’re a Mixed Martial Arts program. We teach much more than Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Though we are extremely successful in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition community, we actually have a much wider variety of classes for our child and adult students. Many of our kids AND adults that frequently stand atop the BJJ podiums ALSO train in Wrestling and Muay Thai. As such, we will continue to build our Instructor Team with excellent Muay Thai, BJJ and Wrestling practitioners who CARE about whether the students are getting the best EXPERIENCE possible (win or lose). The BEST part is that we still have LOTS of cool things happening, new programs we are creating and new Instructors coming on board! Stay tuned!

Ok enough about that! It’s time to offer a slightly belated congratulations to our Competition Team for WINNING the AGF Dallas Spring Classic in Kids Gi!!

These kids fought their hearts out and we could not be more proud to have them wear our patches!!

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.
