Joined about 2 months ago. The instructors are very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. If I didn’t understand something they would break it down in a way I would understand. Bodie has been a huge inspiration for me and really has a passion for what he does. If you’re looking for a supportive community of like minded people who are all trying to learn and grow. This is the gym for you.

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.

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!

I have been training at Warrior's Cove for almost 20 years since I moved to the Twin Cities. Prior to that, I had trained at Karate and Kung Fu gyms in other cities. While I enjoyed those schools, nothing I learned previously compares to the realistic approach that Warrior's Cove takes to training in self-defense. At Warrior's Cove, you will learn effective self-defense techniques in both ground fighting and stand-up striking. You can take your training all the way to full Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
