About Us
More Than A Gym. A Way Of Life.
At Modern Day Warrior, our coaching and training focuses solely on skill development. This is not a club where you need to worry about walking in and being thrown into hard sparring or taking unnecessary damage.
We focus on developing you. A large part of our techniques and drills are built around playing games — making training fun, making it a great workout experience, while genuinely improving your skills.
There is no drill sergeant here. You do it at your pace. You will find encouragement, real camaraderie with fellow members, and a space where you can genuinely enjoy what you are doing while becoming better at it — session by session, on your own terms.
- Skill-First — Every drill has purpose
- Your Pace — No pressure, just progress
- Fun & Games — Learning through play
- Community — Real camaraderie on the mat
Our Disciplines

MMA
Mixed Martial Arts combining striking, wrestling, and submission grappling into one cohesive combat system.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
The gentle art. Focus on leverage, joint locks, and chokeholds to defeat larger opponents.

Kids Programs
Age-appropriate, fun, confidence-building classes that teach discipline and self-defense.
