"had to take a break from this place because of personal reasons, but great christian environment, they love to help the kids and teens learn individually, and you learn new techniques FAST. definitely plan on coming back, but the staff is also very kind, and understanding, and no drama whatsoever. Amazing jiu jitsu classes, and very fair pricing as well. big ups to modern warrior!"
Gabriel Stephens
"Modern Warrior is a top-notch, professional gym with a family friendly atmosphere. It’s perfect for beginners, competitors, and learning self-defense. Every class focuses on jiu-Justus’s practical application in the real world, while still maintaining a sport-based philosophy. I highly recommend this gym!"
Mikayla LeRoy
"Absolute amazing community with stellar coaches. As a female who has only practiced Jiu Jitsu for a few years, I can say with full confidence that this gym is a gem! I have been to gyms where the ego is too high and those at the gym make it seem like you have to earn your way in. At Modern Warrior Combatives I felt nothing but complete acceptance and respect when I walked in the doors. Wandell is a patient and wise teacher and understands that everyone learns best in different ways. I knew right away that this was the gym I wanted to train with. It’s built on a community that cares about each other, challenges each other and grows with each other on the mat. I could not be happier to continue my progress here. If you’re thinking about trying it out- just go!"
