LOVE WARRIOR NATION!! As a female who has been to lots of boxing gyms and loves high intensity classes I found Warrior Nation to be a great fit. The instructors have impressive boxing/mma backgrounds and are great at teaching technique while also giving a high intensity class that will kick your but. Even if you’ve never thrown a punch they will teach you everything you need to know. Also, the people are great and give the gym a real community feel unlike other big gyms in the city.

I started going to jiu jitsu classes early this year and I was very nervous. Coach Italo was immensely helpful in making us feel comfortable. Hansel and the Warriors Nation team has been so welcoming and kind. Everyone is so professional and supportive.

I’ve been taking the 7 am class and I really enjoyed the combination of technical training with conditioning. Everyone in the class was friendly and adapted to my level and the coaches are awesome. What really made me appreciate the space and what Warriors was able to create was when the the 8 am crew came in - I never really trained with or formally met any of them - but everyone came in with a smile and went out of their way to say hi to me and everyone else. You get the feeling that every time you train, you’re really at a family gathering that you’re reluctant to leave (and go to work ;) )
