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 can’t say enough good things about the Wise Warrior Gym. I took the “Hard Target” weekend course, and it’s a super effective crash course on self defence. Calen is extremely knowledgeable, extremely fun, and genuinely cares about your well-being. High recommend for anyone wanting to work on their self defence!
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.
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.
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.
