Warriors is the best gym in all of Ontario. Champions are born and bred from the tutelage of Terry Riggs who's knowledge is insurmountable compared to any other instructor. The teachers are excellent with children in building their confidence not just for boxing, wrestling or Jiu Jitsu, but giving them tools to excel in life itself with important life lessons and talks prior to the curriculum itself. The Coaches whom vary from Canadian Muay Thai Champions to Ontario Provincial Gold medalists at Jiu Jitsu, the level of knowledge is incomparable to any other gym I've been to. At Warriors you don

Our two sons waited close to a year to start at Warrior due to COVID lockdowns...well worth the wait. We've attended 4-5 classes so far and my boys are loving it. They enjoy the fast paced start to class with the calisthenics and I've never seen them so attentive as when the instructors begin to demonstrate each classes new maneuver.
We had our older son in karate before and depending on who ran the class it was either a "fun" time or a "waste" of time. The previous place charged to grade and I felt it was more of a $ grab than anything else as we never saw much progress. The instructors at WARRIOR

My son has trained at Warrior for the past 3 years and can’t say enough great things about the instructors and classes. The staff are professional and caring and during this past year living with Covid, it is my opinion that Warrior has gone over and above the Provincial requirements for health & safety. A truly exceptional place for children and adults to learn mixed martial arts!

This Gym is great. Very friendly staff, and the coaches are top notch with a ton of experience to back them up. The second you go in there you see how much this gym has accomplished. If you new to any type of marshal arts (like me) and want to learn, then this is the place to be. I cant wait to get back there and work on my skills

We've had our two girls in the after school program and have been thoroughly pleased with everything Warriors has offered. Pick up from school on the bus to our own pick up later in the afternoon has been perfect. You feel confident the girls are safe. They keep the kids busy which is exactly what they need. Shelly and the whole staff have been great too! I would highly recommend this business.

My son practices kick boxing at WARRIOR since 2017. He loves this place because there are several excellent instructors. Parents can wait and watch their activities through big windows. The kids from different age and level groups are separated in different area. A very cheerful place to help kids to grow physically and spiritually. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Warrior MMA is an amazing organization. My son has been a member for 6 years and attends summer camp there every year. The instructors and staff are VERY engaged with the kids and teach them skills, discipline and respect. My son who is now turning 11 has quite a few mentors all from Warrior whose teachings will benefit him throughout his life. Thank you Warrior MMA and keep up the great work.

I cannot say enough about the programs offered by Warrior Martial Arts. My son absolutely loves being part of the after school program; they always have fun activities and games planned, not to mention the martial arts instruction they receive twice a week. The team at Warrior are friendly but firm and are always encouraging the kids to make good choices and be respectful of others. The summer programs are so packed with fun events and outings that it makes me wish I could be a kid again. In general, the quality of care and development that Warrior offers children is top notch

Warriors is a great place for the whole family - both my children attended the after school program which was awesome because they pick up at the school and offered a variety of activities on a weekly basis. Talk about a worry free situation! My husband attended evening classes and the kids participated in evening and weekend classes from the age of 6 to 18 - something for all ages!

My daughter started in the kids program twice a week and we all loved it so much we moved her to the after school program. She is in her 5th year and still loves it! Great exercise, great discipline, great people! The instructors are amazing and really care. She has made so many terrific friends and loves all of the fun activities they offer. Thanks Warrior!

Warriors is a facility where any age can define themselves as a Mixed Martial Artist in their own unique way. Each class is taught with profession, yet fun with a purpose. The gym is surrounded by caring, knowledgeable staff willing to help with individuals on areas of need. You can tell each and every member of Warriors has been positively influenced by Terry Riggs, as his passion, and drive for the sport is vivid in everyone, including coach himself! . Warriors is a great foundation for children as they learn how to master an art and become little warriors themselves by interacting with one another
