Andrew Thomas: I've been going to The Academy for almost 10 years now! I would still be there but I have opened a Muay Thai/kickboxing gym in another country.This is by far the best Martial arts gym I've been too! I'm a bit biased because they have such a strong community that I was a part of. Even today being a world away, the coaches still keep in contact with me.It doesn't matter if you are going for fitness, Martial arts and/or to be a fighter. You will learn proper technique from world class coaches! They are very supportive in whatever path you choose.The biggest reason I felt it was necessary to open my own martial arts gym, was to bring this community to other people. It's not easy to recreate what the academy has. They are definitely very special.Thanks for the years of training and teachings I could not have done this without all I learned at The Academy. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dakotah Love: This place has changed my life, the coaches my training partners, everything good vibes, real skills, awesome fights, God only knows where I'd be without this place. Genuinely saved my life.
Karina Higareda: Dedicated, Honorable & Humble, these are my favorite words to describe this training facility. My now 16 yr old has been training at this top notch, top quality coaching studio for over a year and hands down they’ve never let us down & have impressed my son and I with their skilled training & dedicated coaching. I highly recommend & encourage people looking to level up their game to train here, you will not be disappointed. Keep up the excellent work!
Pámela Boveda Aguirre: I had the chance to train a nogi class here today, and I loved the place, the environment, the facility is super clean and confortable! you have a lot of different options in their schedule! and they have worked with many pro athletes! I had a great experience and recommend the place for sure! Also the level of the girls that train there is very good, bjj competitors with a lot of experience.
Keith Burnham: Very good training for adults and children. Coaching is talented and robust. My 16 year old son's life has been transformed in just 4 weeks at this school. He is just a beginner, but his habits and life trajectory have been impacted in an unbelievable way. More than the trophies and belts on the wall..... this experience will last a lifetime.
Sam Guinan-Nyhart: Excellent training center. Friendly, welcoming and skilled! I dropped in over the holidays and spent a great couple hours here.
Chase Taylor: Great place. Employees are very welcoming and encouraging to get people involved. Definitely a community you would like to be a part of
Andrew Vuong: Great environment and classes!
Darrick Mattox: My daughter loves it and so do we
Cella Westray: Dropped in visiting in town and looking for a place to practice. The coaches seem top-notch and extremely knowledgeable. It’s a great community they have here--not only welcoming but also somewhere to push each other to get better, which I always appreciate! Thanks again for welcoming me, I will definitely be coming back if I ever move back to the Twin Cities area!
Tanner Martinson: Top of the line facility. Not only that but top of the line coaches and training partners as well. Great environment.
Frederick Frederickson: Large multi-disciplinary training center with an equipped gym as well.
Christopher Foecke: Good variety of styles and skill levels
Isaiah Nolan: I been to gyms all over the United States for the past 10 years and the Academy is the best of the best. Super knowledgeable instructors, clean environment, and a great community of kind and accepting students.
Russell Martinez: he coaches are very knowledgeable and staff is helpful! I like how it’s a month to month membership and not long contract!
Pedro Mosquera: The best experience you have to know among all, without a doubt, knowing and belonging to this wonderful and excellent martial arts academy.A fully equipped space to develop your potential and acquire skills.The highly qualified staff with an excellent human touch make the experience even more enjoyable.With the best motto, that if you assume it as part of your life, you will be the best version of yourself every day.OPERA NON VERBA.
Steve Henry: The Academy is an extremely impressive training facility.As a 37 year old construction worker I deal will general soreness on a regular basis. After working out here for less than two months I have lost 20 pounds, eliminated what I thought was chronic hip pain, and discovered the will power to break a decade long smoking habit.The heath benefits of training martial arts are undeniable and The Academy allows you to learn from extremely legit martial artists NO MATTER YOUR SKILL OR FITNESS LEVEL. I can’t thank head coach Greg Nelson and his team enough, 10/10 would recommend.

Vinie Beauvalot: I love this place! The teachers all have their own complementary style, they truly care and are always ready to listen and give amazing advice. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly.The experienced students are also great teachers and so patient with white belts while practicing.This school is so much more than just practice, it’s about respect, care, discipline and also having the best fun ever. Jujitsu has brought balance in my life, and a big smile on my face any time I think about the awesome friends I have made there. I’m still fairly new but I feel like I’ve been part of the family for ever! 😊 Thank you Brandon for opening your home’s doors so generously!
Michaela Storm: , and very easy to get addicted to. Isn't very expensive either!
Joe G: The coaching staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The St. Paul BJJ Academy culture is vey supportive and welcoming. This is a great learning environment for beginners and experts. The facilites are new and very clean.
Andrew Biermaier: St. Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is a great place to start your BJJ journey! The instructors are knowledgeable and good at explaining techniques. Everyone I have meet there has been helpful and welcoming. This is a great place to learn and grow your BJJ skills.
Jonathan Ramirez-Hernandez: This is a great place to practice BJJ. The head coach Brandon truly cares about being an effective teacher. In the little time I've been there he's already made tweaks to how he runs his classes in an effort to improve the learning experience. He seems to constantly be looking for ways to do better and it shows.Not only are the instructors great, so is the community they've been able to foster. There's a real culture in the gym of everyone being welcoming and helpful. There's no shortage of people looking out for you to help you improve. Starting a new hobby is always intimidating but they've managed to take the edge out of it.I highly recommend this place if you're looking to get into BJJ!
Jeremy Prose: I've been a member of this gym for about a year and a half and before that I trained at other gyms. I can say that head coach, Brandon, takes the art of teaching more seriously than any instructor I've ever trained with. He is sincerely dedicated to the improvement of all the students in this gym. You can find a lot of reasons why you should learn BJJ all over the internet and this is a great place to put that into action.
Tj jaques: Would love to join 😍 love MMA
Jeremy Pierce: I truly didn't know what to expect when I joined St. Paul BJJ, but I was blown away. The people here are amazing, the coaches are so knowlegable, and this truly feels like the perfect environment to learn BJJ. Coach Brandon runs a top notch gym with a hands on approach.You never feel left out and get the attention you need to learn even in larger class sizes.Truly life changing in the best of ways. If you're on the fence, at least give the free trial a shot. I'm sure you'll be hooked as I was.Side note:I'm a truck driver by trade and my back had been bothering me even though I stay in shape through cardio and weights. Since starting my back pain had vanished. I feel like BJJ gives me that extra edge I need to stay fit and healthy.
Tate Marschall: This is an awesome gym! The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and meticulous when teaching technique. The gym has a fun atmosphere and everyone is friendly and welcoming. Everyone is willing to help you if you have any questions.
Sam Tuhy: Fantastic gym! Very helpful and knowledgeable instructors, good environment for rolling, clean gym/changing rooms.
Trevor Schauls: I just started. I met some great people. Everyone who was new with me signed up... We chatted it up before class. The instructors and participants were great to meet and were generally interested in my history. I felt bad having to take 10m breaks total though. I'm 230lbs and pretty fat, lol. Drink water before hand. It's a weekly payment. No contract too! Competitive, but you can't beat the flexibility in the schedule! I'd doing Ju Jitsu. Can't wait to see you
Heather Brunell: I started about 7 months ago, I fell in love the first day. Coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. The training partners are amazing. If I need help learning or drilling something, my teammates are more than happy to help. Being in an environment where everyone is evolving, really brings out this euphoric energy. This is truly my happy place!
Jake Benkofske: Great coaches that really care. Made it easy for BJJ to become an important part of my life
Nestor Arguello: They have a gift for meeting you at your level and helping you to improve with each class. Every coach is skilled and patient. Variety of class times is very helpful. Highly recommend.
Cecilia Earls: I have trained BJJ all over and this gym stands out as one of the best. The head instructor, Brandon, employs a teaching style that allows for extremely fast progress. I have met students here who have only trained for a few months that are better than students at other schools who have trained over a year. It is also an extremely clean facility and the members are great training partners and friends. I highly recommend this school for both beginners and those much further along in their BJJ journey!
Firaol Degefa: This is an exceptional community and environment, whether you're new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or have been practicing for a while. I highly recommend this place; everyone is incredibly supportive and kind, always ready to assist you.
Zach Pieper: A 5-star rating for a 5-star Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy.
ChueKongPheng Xiong: People here are nice and patient for you to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Jay Huh: Trained here for a couple days while in town. Clean and large facility, and tough but friendly rolls were had. Thanks Brandon!

michael white: As a complete newbie to firearms, Cory’s class exceeded my expectations in every aspect. His expertise, hands-on teaching approach, and comprehensive course material left me feeling extremely confident in my ability to handle a firearm responsibly, understand the duties of ownership and carrying, and grasp the importance of carrying one in the first place. I highly recommend this course to both beginners and experienced individuals seeking to renew their concealed carry permit. A definite 10/10.
Christopher McKay: The staff are professional and thorough; the programming was on-point. Would highly recommend.
Tou Xiong: The class was fantastic. Cory was very knowledgeable and gave the class a lot of hands on training. He is a great teacher and I highly recommend his CCW class for anyone else interested.
Junior N.: This is my third concealed carry class, and the Unified Martial Arts class led by instructor Cory is by far the best I've experienced. Cory, who is also a martial arts teacher, brings a level of passion to this course that is evident in his teaching style. Unlike most concealed carry classes that lack hands-on training, this class immerses you in multiple real-life scenarios using simulated training guns. Cory guides you through techniques for de-escalation, non-lethal responses, and, when necessary, the use of lethal force. Through repeated practice, you gain confidence in handling a firearm effectively in high-pressure situations. I highly recommend this course for anyone seeking a concealed carry permit. I would give it more than five stars if I could!
Shane Lindberg: I drove from Rochester MN to take the MN permit to carry class, as I needed it to get my renual. The first class I took 5 years ago was very dull and unsatisfactory. The class with Cory was Amazing. He designed a class which went beyond what needed to be done. It was filled will tons of hands on work, including physical self defense techniques used to prevent having to use the gun, plus lots of exercises to use and shoot the gun more effectively. Very pleasant day. If I did not live over an hour away I would like to take his martial arts classes too Thanks Cory for the great class!
Melissa Manhart: , I can punch/kick heavy bags
ABEBE Reda: I love this karate! My daughter is about to be a yellow belt thanks to her!❤❤ She loves it there! Thank you so much!!🥋❤
Jenni Black: My daughter has been attending Unified Martial Arts for over a year now. We checked out their free class initially and liked how the Sensei interacted with the children, their teaching philosophy and what the Dojo stands for. This place, to me, has been a positive support in "it takes a village to raise a child" truth! My daughter is getting strong mentally and physically from being trained here. I 100% recommend them!!!
Erik Carlson: There are plenty of reasons I like this place so much. Three reasons stand out. First, it's never the same class twice. Variety is the spice of life! Second, it's never easy. We're always challenged to "do our best, even when we're not at our best." Cory and Trudi always encourage us to work hard, but never force it. As we improve, we can work hard for longer times, which leads to more improvement! Third, our fellow students are always there for us; training is better with the right group, after all.I could write a lot more, but to be honest, I'd rather train. I also encourage you to check this place out and see it for yourself!
angela burger: My son has been going here for2 years, and loves it. I never knew he could be so disciplined and love watching him when he does belt promotion night. Rain or snow storm, the owners are always open and ready to go. You can tell they love the art of martial arts, and it shows thru their students.
tony nahl: Sensei Trudi and Sensei Cory are amazing with the kids! ! They teach great life lessons like confidence, and being kind to others, and of course self defense. Would recommend this dojo to anyone! They also have adult classes and kickboxing!
Amber Stolp: I am new to the Dojo/kickboxing classes at Unified Martial Arts and I couldn't recommend more!! The environment is welcoming, regardless of your level of kickboxing experience. Sensei Cory is a great instructor who keeps class interesting and different, every single time. I'm glad I took the leap and tried the first class, it was worth it.
Tarek Khatib: A fantastic place to train and push your self! The dojo provides an environment for self improvement for both adults and children. Operated by true martial artist, they provide the framework to follow! You will be winded, sweating, sore, and eager to come back the next day! Can’t miss with this place, you just have to show up!
Nic Payne: The senseis are amazing but the format for little warriors is unique and effective. It’s been incredible to watch Ollie grow as a result.
Jason Jaworski: I've had my two boys attend this dojo for about six years since they were around four years old. The "at your pace" flexibility in training and belt promotions has really provided my family with the options needed for my high energy individuals. Sensei Corey and Sensei Trudy are the most patient and fun martial artists. I am astounded by the core philosophy of integrity, discipline and respect. The mixed arts of Kali, Karate and Jujitsu truly build my children's confidence in their daily challenges. 5 Stars!
Mike Lokowich: Hands down the best place to train, learn, and get an incredible workout. My son and I are both enrolled, and will be for the long run. I cannot recommend it enough.
Ngia Lee: I enjoy watching my son learn. The instructor is nice and good as well. Highly recommend for young toddler to get some discipline.
Judy Livingston: The Kickboxing class at the dojo is fantastic! Never the same workout from session to session. It is a great mix of martial arts, cardio, strength training and self-defense. Can't recommend it enough!

Jim Auld: Chris McCune is a brilliant Jiujitsu instructor and a really nice human being. I am a 1st degree black belt with 16 years in, Chris gave me some concepts and ways to improve that will take a couple years to incorporate into my game. A real gentleman who was there 30 years ago with the Machados. It’s hard to find true masters, but I’m here to say Chris McCune is a master of jiujitsu. Respect!
B. J. Van Beusekom: Been with this school for the longest of any gyms that I used to train at. There is a great atmosphere, there is knowledgeable instructors, great training partners, and a great facility with heavy bags & gym equipment.
Ryan Maciej: I was in town for a long weekend and reached out to see if I could attend classes and am happy I did. Great group of people and very welcoming. I have only been training BJJ for about 4 months but everyone was super accommodating, helpful and friendly. Got to roll with a bunch of new people. Check them out if you have a chance.
Peter: I visited McCune's on 4/11/23 and took the evening No-gi Jiu Jitsu class.Friendly staff and students, facility was cleanly with plenty of mat space. Coaching was great, Sean was extremely knowledgeable and gave concise instruction. Rolling here was awesome, lots of skilled practitioners!
Michael Lee: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,ValueGreat school, I was there for the jiu Jitsu class and everybody was very welcoming and respectful, would definitely recommend.
Marc Renville: Simply the best place to train jiu jitsu!
Quiropractico Quito: Sifu Chris McCune is a great instructor with several years of experience. This is the martial arts school that other black belts choose to study in for a good reason because the combination of Kung Fu San Soo with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu provides great self-defence training.
sean strube: You will not find another person like Chris. He is truly a 1 of a kind human being, who has changed more lives then anyone could ever count. And this is on top of thee top notch instruction you recieve here. Thank you to everyone here who has help me to succeed in my life, this will always be my family.

Gary Berg: Awesome Jiu-Jitsu instruction! Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Bennett Houck: Fantastic family atmosphere.
Mia Guild Turner: My 6 year old loves this studio, his instructor and jiu-jitsu!
Tiffany Davidson: I love it. Easy to work with. Great for the kids.
J. Troy Lupe: The martial arts are great - the life lessons and advice provided by Sensei Toft to kids in his classes is even better. My girls have fun, get exercise, learn karate, and gain confidence - they also have to earn what they want which is developing the strong work ethic required for life. It’s the perfect mix of fun and discipline, Mr. Toft has found his calling.
Adam Skare: son about a year ago. We were getting weekly notes from his school that he needed to work on his listening and for talking too much. Literally the week after we started this program the notes stopped and his teacher actually told us about some occasions where he helped some other kids make better decisions and not follow along with some instigators. He’s very active in the Karate program and the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Bullyproof program. He absolutely loves both of them and sweats his butt off working hard which also helps burn off some of that 6yr old energy ;
Victoria Grancarich: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value
Chris Hacker: 6/23 update: My daughters skills and confidence continues to grow. She loves David and the other instructors as well as the atmosphere and her classmates.Day one my kid loved it. She’s already looking forward to her next class. David is a professional and understands how to connect with kids.
Jayme Pantekoek: I was hooked the first time I tried Jiu-Jitsu at Metro! David, his staff and students made me feel apart of the Jiu-Jitsu family as soon as I stepped on the mat! The knowledge comes extremely fast when you pair the training with the online video courses you can do at home. This is the only place that offers this style of learning. All the instructors have a great sense of humor and personable which makes learning fun. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Metro Karate and Jiu-Jitsu!
Kevin Louis Johnson-Gilman: Safe, fun and welcoming environment.

Teresa Johnson: Sensei Ben is a great teacher! My kids and I enjoy learning from him.
C. Howard: Excellent self defense school! Our 7yo daughter can’t wait for her next class. She has been enrolled for 8 months. The instructors are really good and teach the kids to be respectful, focused and work hard. I highly recommend this studio for families who want to have their kids in a routine, learn respect and gain confidence in a fun way.
Michele Lloyd: I’ve been with Z-Ultimate around 4 years now. I’d been interested in martial arts since I was a kid, but I thought classes would be full of tough guys, and the teachers would be like drill sergeants, and it would be oh-so-serious. That image put me off. Then I found Z-Ultimate in Edina. The adult classes have students from a wide range of ages and abilities, and Ben Thomas is a gentle, encouraging teacher. We laugh a lot in class while learning effective techniques for defending ourselves. If you have been interested in the martial arts but have felt worried or intimidated by what you thought it was about, try Z-Ultimate. Martial arts will build your strength and confidence. And parents: Ben is amazing with the children.
Brian Jensen: sensei ben is great with our child who has learning differences. we've seen our son learn to pay much better attention at karate!
April Pream: son. I have never seen anyone so good at connecting with these kids. He has a gift. I tell everyone about Z-Ultimate. Best!
Cassidy Steiner: My kids love their lessons. Sensei Ben is so much fun, and such an effective teacher.
Joseph McKenna: I signed up for martial arts and self defense. I am extremely pleased. Great for fitness too. Master Ben is fast paced and an inspiration. 3 group classes a week that are fun and highly engaging. Plus indiviual lessons to keep improving your skill and fitness. Everyone should do this!
Josh John: Came to an introduction course with my fiancé’s coworkers. Fun to get exposure to different body relationships that I wouldn’t have considered a potential asset. Ben was great and I quickly found that the more I asked, the more value I got out of the team.ASK QUESTIONS and watch all the value start pouring out!Will definitely come again and take a more long term membership.

Tiffany: The coaches are amazing with kids. I was pretty nervous about enrolling my kiddo because she can lose focus, not process information correctly at times, and is pretty cautious. These guys said, "No problem!" and they weren't kidding. From the minute we walked in the door, they were all so welcoming. Even the other kiddos were welcoming and helpful to my daughter! She actually looks forward to the classes and has so much fun while building her confidence. Fantastic place!
Anya Greengauz: My son loves it here! Learning new skills, self confidence, competitiveness and overall generating respect and discipline. Would highly recommend.
Christopher Baldridge: I went to 5 Jiu Jitsu gyms before settling on WJJ. I joined because of Professor Anderson's teaching style, the low-ego friendliness of the other people, and the cleanliness of the facility. Those, among others, are the reasons I've stayed. In addition, I've learned a lot about Jiu Jitsu and have fallen in love with the art. I would recommend World Jiu Jitsu to anyone who wants a new challenge and all of the benefits that come with it.
Sarah Elliott: From the first class when my 5 year old daughter learned how to escape a headlock, I knew this was right program for us! The kids learn real-life skills and discipline that will serve them well for the rest of their lives. The coaches are all great and highly invested in each child’s success. To top it all off, the classes are fun and the community is great!
Austin M: If you're looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym, this is the place to go. Professor Anderson is extremely knowledgeable and a great instructor. He and the rest of the coaches/students provide a very "family-like" atmosphere and makes everyone feel welcome even on their first day. 10/10 would recommend if you are interested in learning BJJ.
Kev Akatsuki: World Jui-jitsu academy is an awesome facility to train and learn new skills.
Samantha Clark: If you want to learn amazing Jiu-Jitsu techniques in a family friendly gym, then I highly recommend training at WJJA.
Oshin James: If I could give it 6 stars I would!
Dan: I have been going to this gym for about 9 months. The members have been extremely welcoming and humble. No toxic machismo like you frequently find in this sort of environment. This is a fantastic place to learn Jiu Jitsu and make new friends along the way. I wish I would have joined years ago.
Dan Torbenson: World Jiu Jitsu is an awesome Brazilian jiu jitsu school. Professor Anderson is not only an excellent practitioner and amazing teacher, but he's also a very approachable, great person. The school culture couldn't be better--everyone works hard and competes hard, but there's great support and camaraderie amongst all the students, regardless of rank. I've been coming to WJJ for many years now, and most of my kids, teenage to adult, love coming here as well. It's been a great family activity for us--the only downside is that most of my kids can now beat me up. If you're thinking of trying jiu jitsu, I highly recommend it. It's great exercise, and you can stay competitive at a much older age than most other sports. And WJJ is a great place to learn jiu jitsu!
Jennifer Lymangood: My 5 and 7 year old boys have grown so much in their focus and resiliency since starting at World Jiu Jitsu Academy. Professor Anderson is very talented and does an amazing job keeping the kids engaged and having fun while training!
Mike Foote: and am as fit as I have ever been.It doesn't matter how old or young you are, you can always learn and gain a ton of benefits from training. You get self confidence, self defense skills, mastery of the ego, and an incredible sense of satisfaction you just can't get most other places, and so much more.Also, my almost 10 year old daughter has also been training for 4 years now and is a legit grappler. It's nice knowing that I don't have to worry too much about her if some guy gets a bit handsy with her down the road.
Finley Montgomery: my concern was around the stamina and athleticism involved. I can honestly say that my cardio is up, my abilities have gotten better, and I have experienced an abundance of friendships. In addition, I have lost weight and feel better every day. The instructors are fantastic and very patient; I highly recommend them. A fantastic school and experience. Don't let age or whether you are in shape stop you!!!!
Anne Hoedeman: This place is awesome. I started knowing literally nothing about Jiu Jitsu but was never made to feel silly or bad about it. Everyone here is invested in each other's success and working together for improvement. I loved it so much that my kids have joined. They're learning the sport as well as weekly life lessons about self-confidence, respect and attention. I recommend this place to everyone who is thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu or a new martial art. I got my husband to join now as well as a couple of friends.Walking in here feels like coming home. You meet friends, work hard and learn something new every time you're on the mat. We're here probably 6 days a week, and I'm not mad about it.If you're even barely considering trying Jiu Jitsu , this is your sign to come in and just give it a shot. This place is THE best.
Jeffrey Kressler: Professor Anderson and the rest of the coaches are engaging and make a point to get to know you when you are at the gym. They along with everybody who attends class are extremely supportive and create an amazing atmosphere to train BJJ. 10/10 would recommend for all experience levels.
Trinity Fritz Lawrence: In spite of my initial trepidation to begin, this place has become a wonderful part of my life. I was initially a little worried to join such a male-dominated martial art, however not only have the guys been extremely kind and helpful, but there is also a sizable group of women–all in all, it is an extremely welcoming environment and very encouraging. I could not recommend this place more, Ju Jitsu has become an extremely valuable part of my life and it just keeps getting more enjoyable.
Tony Troussov CSP TM: At almost 50 this BJJ been the best physical activity I have done since boxing as a teenager. Learning BJJ been fun and exciting. All Professors and Instructors are focused on helping you grow. WJJA has become a great community of like-minded folks. You must give it a shot.... come and join us!
Tyler Roden: I really cannot say enough good things about this academy. We enrolled our son last year and I have been so very impressed with the quality of instruction, the great attitudes of the instructors, and the balance of both fun and real world instruction that the kids receive. Mixed in are lessons on discipline, respect, confidence, comradery, compassion, resilience, and competition. They have built a very positive and welcoming environment for the kids to learn and grow.

Emily Taege: Great place for your child to learn Karate. Love the owner and the staff at this establishment. They are great with kids, very encouraging, but also good at teaching other skills -- not just Karate. Discipline, respect, and determination. Very solid program with the tangible "rewards" -- getting those stripes on your belt are very impactful for encouraging my son to keep going. Due to COVID-19, they also converted all of their lessons to Zoom if you need it which is FANTASTIC, because now we can still attend if we are traveling or not feeling 100%. Love it! You should enroll your kids here.
Melissa Hoo: Amazing school! Great instructors, very knowledgeable. It is a great experience for adults that want to learn to defend themselves. I will be coming here for a long time for both karate and krav maga.

Danny Faye: Best gym around. International presence. World renowned teachers and staff.
MOTO MUERTE: Great inclusive gym with one on one coaching option. Started here with no experience and have had a great time. The instructors are great and classes move along at a good pace.

Chris Smith: Best place to train for Muay Thai in the city. Highly recommended.
Sarah Davis: My daughter takes their youth classes and is absolutely beaming and excited after every hour spent with their instructors. Joe, Tim, and Kyle are truly wonderful humans who have found a perfect balance between instructing, inspiring, encouraging discipline and excellence but injecting the air with humor and kindness. We are transplants to the area and coming from LA I can say this type of environment for kids to learn about themselves, be in their bodies, and connect is a rare thing. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the other folks taking adult classes and as mentioned the amazing instructors are just an absolute joy to be around. Good vibes abound. These people will bring a smile to your face and inspire you and your family.

He was new to the sport and timid, and I always felt he was in the best of hands, both cared for and always challenged to get even better.

Professor Enrique, the head instructor, is not only an outstanding tactician but also a highly skilled. His passion for the art is contagious, and under his watchful eye, I have learned the importance of perfecting my techniques and embracing the values of discipline, resilience, and respect.What sets Professor Enrique apart is his ability to break down complex moves into digestible steps tailored to each student's level. He has always been open to my questions and provides detailed responses that have deepened my understanding of Jiu-Jitsu. His unwavering commitment to my progress has made me feel competent in my skills and confident in my ability to apply them during rolls and future competitions.In addition to Professor Enrique, other instructors, like Professor Adrian Ricci, and higher belt students like Nik and Tim have been incredibly helpful and encouraging. Their collective expertise creates a well-rounded learning experience that fosters growth and development.The gym itself is clean and well-maintained, and I've found a supportive and motivated community in my fellow practitioners.

Justin Reifsteck: The coursework is challenging but highly rewarding. Shoutout Bodie Sheehan ! 💪🏼
Adam Bender: 10 years ago I was in the military and did about 2 years of MMA / BJJ training. I had my first class last week and am extremely impressed.All of the students there seem genuinely interested in learning and improving rather than just hanging out. The instructors are not only extremely knowledgeable, but several of them actually compete in MMA competitions.I've seen them demonstrate some very high-skill techniques, and they're exceptional at explaining what they're doing.Bottom line, there are only a few places in the area to train in MMA, but don't bother with the others. This place is amazing and totally worth it if you want to develop skill in MMA / BJJ fighting styles.
Mary Kate Eiden: I love the fitness kickboxing class offered at Warrior's Cove! This class is inclusive for any age or ability and a great way to stay in shape for me personally post college athletics. I appreciate the coaching staff in providing unique and challenging classes each week!
Tom Mondragon: competition for sport or keep it to self-defense. I am now over 50, and I am more fit than when I entered the gym in my early 30's thanks to Warrior's Cove. The environment is safe and inviting. The instructors are respectful and helpful. I am grateful to Warrior's Cove for a premium MMA/self-defense experience that I plan to continue for as long as I can.
Brian Resz: Started at Warrior's Cove a little over a month ago with zero martial arts background. The entire staff genuinely wants you to show up, learn, and get better. It's a very welcoming atmosphere. The MMA and cardio kickboxing classes are very well taught and great compliments. Highly highly highly recommend Warrior's Cove.
Cole Baumgartner: As I transitioned from my Division 1 wrestling career into my professional career, I wanted to find something of similar community and competitiveness to what I had in college. The Cove was a great place to land because it allows for flexibility to create a schedule around my job that can range from lighter days to relieve stress from the work day to much harder days that satisfy the competitive itch from division 1 athletics.
John Preston: Warriors Cove became my home gym in October of 2022. I had minimal experience in a mma gym setting six years prior. I didn’t know what to expect when I showed up for my one on one with Max but I was immediately into what he was teaching me. I knew that I had truly enjoyed learning and rolling back at that first gym but this place was different. There I met my instructors Bodie, AJ, Cole, Henry and Mr. Arnebeck. They all taught me combat jiujitsu. I wanted to challenge myself through this process of learning and simply be better than I was the day before. They all helped me in that journey along with all of my fellow students!This is the gym for anyone wanting to learn to be a better jiujitsu practitioner or just looking for a new way to challenge yourself.Warriors Cove taught me that sometimes you win but everytime you LEARN!John Preston
Joe S: My kids have been going to Warriors Cove for approximately eight months. What a wonderful place for kids to learn not only martial arts but also learn discipline, respect, and grow friendships with other students. Now, my kids hang out outside class with some other students. The instructors are so patient and kind to the children and parents, and their ability to teach all kids at different levels and abilities is impressive. If you or your kids are looking for MMA lessons, I highly recommend Warriors Cove.
Nicholas: I have the utmost respect and admiration for the staff and coaches of this gym, they have always been respectful, encouraging, and nothing short of amazing. The environment is clean and professional, and I enjoy training here very much and I look forward to how much I can grow.
Bro Ravioli: Really good training
Paul Anson: Great community. Great training / curriculum. Passionate folks. Zero jerks. Will continue training at the Cove.
Caleb Petersen: Great atmosphere, training partners, and instructors.
Owen Rostis: Excellent group of people with high quality instructors and intuitive lessons.
Joshua Liska: Great gym. Really educational and a good work out. 10/10 recommend.
Ja Jo: birthday gift. Well over a year later we still look forward to going many times per week - even when we're tired or moving slow that day. We learn real-life self-defense and fighting skills that you won't get at BJJ-only gyms. The instructors are top notch and most importantly, the atmosphere among all members is always positive, helpful, and encouraging - while still being challenging and competitive.
Todd Casey: I’ve been attending Warriors Cove for almost 3 months and my experience has been far greater than I imagined walking into this gym. I was filled with rage and fear and lacked confidence in myself. Now with training regularly at the Warriors Cove I’ve now become more confident and less afraid, I’ve felt more control over my emotions knowing I’m prepared for situations that used to scare me. I’ve come to meet great people and have enjoyed such great intense work out sessions while at the Warriors Cove. I’ve been treated with nothing but respect and appreciation for the Mixed Martial Art community by the staff there, along with detailed techniques that sharpen one’s ability to be well prepared should hand to hand combat be necessary. I came in Warriors Cove afraid and now walk with the confidence of a Warrior thanks to this gym and the amazing people in it!
James McJamesington: The energy, training, cleanliness, and support here is top tier. Coaches take a individualized interest in your training, and the gym culture is supportive and is as challenging as you wish. This is a great place to better yourself, get in shape, and to have great social interactions.

Kelsey Briann Faddler: We have tried out several different martial arts gyms and couldnt really find one that fit. My son, daughter and nephew joined Alliance several months ago. I am a people watcher and observer. I have watched these coaches plant so many seeds for success, confidence, and just an all around wholesome experience into so many individuals in the gym and their families. Everyone has been very kind and welcoming. The head coach and his wife are really awesome people, along with all the coaches. My son has become so much more confident, he loves this gym. His demeanor has changed in such a positive way. We are very grateful we found this place, it definitely fits for us.
Kellen Kersten: Awesome people. Awesome instruction. I have had a great experience starting my Jiu Jitsu journey here.

Whether a beginner just looking to learn, or a competitor looking to be a champion, there is no better place to train in the area!!!

Ben Craig: I was in MN for work/family for a month and Alliance was the gym I went to. Damian made the 45 minute drives worth it. Very good fundamentals/instruction and all of the people I worked with gave me good tips. And Damian answered my million questions prior to arriving, so kudos to anyone who can deal with all the questions.Whenever I am back in town, this will be the spot. If you live here, definitely recommend it.
Charlie Johnson: Cathartic, meditative, great place to spend an hour in the afternoon with good people and tough training!
Carsten C: I have only been here a few months, I am a white belt, and am lucky enough to have started my jiu jitsu journey here. This gym is top notch, the instructors know what they are talking about, have the accolades to prove it, and are super friendly. Best gym in the twin cities, highly recommend training here!

GloriousSun250: I like the sparring and self-defense teachings they gave me. However, I wished the classes were tougher like some other martial arts schools I went to before and sparring was two days a week at least, instead of one day a week. Also, they could place sparring at a time besides 8:30 on a Saturday morning.
E J P: Sam and Joseph are awesome instructors. My 6 year old daughter really enjoyed being in their class! Great fitness and martial arts training! 🐅
