    The instructors are great. I have my 7 and 10 year old going. They love the kids self defence. The gym has a few people that are injured with sort term and long term injuries. They let people train to their abilities and don't push them beyond what they are comfortable doing. The people that attend are very caring and don't want to hurt anybody during training. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to learn self defence. They teach the best from all the martial arts and don't strictly focus on the traditional martial arts only. In other words, they teach what has been proven to work in the ring against other high level fighters.

    I've been attending the summer S3 (Sport/Street Solutions) MMA combat style class and have been really enjoying it. Calen is an incredibly knowledgeable and informative coach, and even when there are 25+ in a class he is able to give one on one fine tuning of technique. I've been to other martial arts gyms and never made it past one trial class because of the atmosphere, but everyone at Wise Warrior is super friendly and accepting. People of all ages, fitness levels, walks of life are accepted and helped to attain greatness. Looking forward to continuing to learn here!

    I had an excellent time here with our instructor Calen. The skills we learned were multi purpose, and required little attention to learn. This was not only a very valuable lesson, but we also had a great time complete with plenty of laughs. I would highly recommend to all people, in all walks of life. Thank you Calen :)

    I couldn't be more thankful for this environment. It's definitely empowering, and welcoming... Calen and the other instructors are so fun, they are very understanding and pay close attention to detail. I've learned so much, I am somewhat proud of myself! I've also attended their Martial Arts for the Mind classes- mind blowing. There is such clarity throughout these classes, it's been such a positive experience throughout my months there. Definitely recommended.

    We had a great time at the Hard Target Seminar! The information was presented in a clear and concise way, and interspersed perfectly with physical practice. The instructors were super fun and friendly and provided plenty of encouragement and feedback. I would highly recommend Wise Warrior Gym and the Hard Target Seminar for anyone looking for a fun, practical introduction to self defense!

    Calen and the team are awesome instructors for anything from practical self-defense to mma and sport combat. Having worked with these guys time in and out I can contest that they are the most fun and safe place to learn martial arts, which also emphasizes practical real world elements. Thanks to all the coaches for making this a fantastic journey into mma and grappling.

    Vibrant, professional, and clean environment for training. Clane Paine seems both knowledgeable and attentive at all times when working with students.

    I have been to a lot of gyms in the city and these folks are the real deal. I believe Calen and his crew Davy, Kyla, Chad and Adam are all phenomenal coaches and really nice people to be around. Not only does the gym develop your physical health, but Calen goes into the mental aspects of being well. "wise warrior for the mind". I believe he is looking at building your mental fitness to compliment your physical well-being. Now where else can you get this sort of education.I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to develop either aspect of their lives.

    Great 1 day (Hard Target) self defense class. 3 family members attended the class and it was an extremely positive experience for all. The information was β€œreal world” relevant and the physical aspect was excellent basic self defense training. We also thought the pace of the class was perfect, definitely worth it if you require a good knowledge/perspective of personal safety and acquiring a basic "toolkit" for physical defense.

    Calen is an exceptional coach and mentor. And MMA and jiu-jitsu are insanely fun and really great workouts-- and can absolutely be taught safely. I've never been this motivated to get exercise since I was a kid. Thanks Calen! -Veronika

    Me and my group took self defense with Calen. It was very informative and fun at the same time. I have taken self defense before but at the Wise Warrior Gym it was much more exciting and effective. I was able to learn a lot of new techniques.

    Calen was one of the best self defense Instructors I have come across. He made our group comfortable, informed and having fun while learning some very serious practical skills necessary today. I would highly recommend Wise Warrior Gym for a fantastic experience gaining new skill in this area.
