Important Advantages The Warrior's Cove has many important advantages that should be considered by those looking for a quality martial art school. Martial Art schools differ greatly in quality, curriculum, business ethics and honesty, cleanliness, safety, affiliations, and overall courtesy & professionalism. Learn why the Warrior's Cove is the Leading Mixed Martial Arts & Jiu Jitsu school in Minnesota! Following are some very important considerations: Safe and Enjoyable Training At the Warrior's Cove, you will be treated with respect, just as you deserve! We maintain a friendly and safe training atmosphere for men, women, and children. You will find professional and courteous instructors that provide intelligent & safe training methods, and friendly members that are also focused on your safety. You are never required to do anything you feel is too dangerous for you or simply does not make sense. Almost all Mixed Martial Arts & Jiu Jitsu schools make the mistake of having beginning level members do live submission fighting or submission grappling as soon as they start their training. This obviously results in a high occurrence of injuries and undue humiliation. At the Warrior's Cove we are courteous enough to actually prepare you prior to any type of live submission training, or live contact sparring. Both you and the instructor must feel you are ready before you begin this type of advanced training. New members with previous training can "test out" of the basic level requirements to enter the advanced training sooner. Beware of schools where the instructor or members seem to have a "tough guy" or "I'm better than you" attitude. These are not the type of people that will provide you quality training in a safe environment. The best martial artists & fighters have no need to put on a tough guy act.
We
encourage you to visit our school and talk to the members and
instructors to see the Warrior's Cove difference for yourself.
Accept Nothing Less Than Do
not accept schools run by inexperienced student instructors! They
are everywhere! The Senior Students
at the Warrior's Cove have
more training and experience than many of the "teachers"
out there today! Many MMA and BJJ schools are taught by students
with only a few years training and/or experience. Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu! Rickson Gracie (not to be confused with his younger brother, Royce Gracie) is an undefeated 7th Degree Black Belt whose technique is considered to be the finest expression of Jiu Jitsu in the world. Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is the ONLY Jiu Jitsu program in Minnesota that officially represents the teachings of Rickson Gracie and his International Jiu Jitsu Association. Rickson is the undisputed Champion of the Gracie Family, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (and the Ultimate Fighting Championship) was created by the Gracie Family! Rickson Gracie is also widely considered to be the highest authority on Mixed Martial Art and Reality Fighting technique. He holds a remarkable undefeated record with over 400 wins!

Documentary Video No Contracts or Deposits Required! Members may discontinue any of our programs with 30 days notice! No long term contracts required! We offer quality programs that provide the results members are looking for, so we do not have student retention problems like some schools do! Most schools require long term contracts that require you to pay even if you decide that the training is not right for you.
TIP - If you are
trying to decide between a school that requires contracts, and one
that does not, simply try the "no-contract" school first so you are
free to change schools if you want to. Free
Introductory Classes! We do not charge you anything to try out our classes. You may take one FREE MONTH of classes to try out ALL of our programs! Or, if you want to save the most money, take our FREE Registration membership option (complete information in our Membership Plans section). You may also observe as many classes as you wish, as many times as you wish! We have a seating area for visitors. No need to call ahead of time to observe, just stop by any of our regularly scheduled classes. Never join a program that does not allow you to observe their normal classes. What is it they don't want you to see? You won't have to sit through a high pressure sales presentation when you visit our school! You are welcome to simply visit and observe. We will answer your questions, and if you need more time to make your decision, you will never feel pressured by us to sign up! We actually encourage you to visit other schools and compare, ask good questions, and see our advantages for yourself! Clear, Fair, & Locked In Prices! We provide you all of our normal tuition rate & registration information. Most schools only advertise their short term introductory rate, but they wont tell you about their normal higher tuition rate, their continuing registration fees, and their longer term contracts (up to 5 years long), until after you have joined! We lock in your tuition rates! That means we won't raise the cost of your tuition as long as you remain an active member - ever! Our cross-training programs allow you to train in more that one class or style, at no extra charge! Most schools do not offer more than one style, and if they do, you may have to pay for each additional class that you want to take! After joining, we do not take advantage of our members by hitting them with unreasonably high promotion fees. Many schools charge extremely high fees for promoting and certifying members to higher belt ranks. After joining, we
do not
require members to purchase equipment from our school.
Many schools require you to buy all
different types of needless equipment,
and you must buy it from
their school at costs inflated as much as 400% over their own
costs! Flexible Hours - 7 Days Per Week! We understand that our members have busy lives with unpredictable schedules, and we want to make your training easy and convenient. Members may train as little or as much as they like. Day, evening & weekend classes available. You may even come to class late or leave early. Even though you pay for only two classes per week, our Mixed Martial Arts program allows training up to seven days a week! No extra charge! Even though most Warrior's Cove students choose to attend 1 or 2 days per week, some are motivated to train 3, 4 and even 5 days per week! Many martial arts schools to limit their student's training to only 2 days per week. Consider the price of tuition per hour! All of our classes are
structured to accept new members at any time. No matter
what your skill or fitness level (total beginner to professional
fighter), our instructors
are trained to make your transition into class an
enjoyable one. You will not have to wait for
"the next session" to begin your martial art
training. Clean & Professional Facilities Our facilities are well maintained and clean! Our training floors are frequently cleaned & sanitized for our students health. Occasional slips & trips do occur in martial art training. We use the highest grade floor matting available to provide safe and enjoyable training. Training on hardwood or carpeted floors is dangerous. High quality environmental
systems keep our facilities
well
cooled in the summer, and heated in the winter for enjoyable
training! Adult and Children's Programs We offer Adult Only classes and also Children and Family classes. Some schools ONLY offer classes where the Adults have to train with the Children! Our Adult Programs are NOT an "adult version" of Children's Karate! What most people do not know is that nearly all martial art schools have over 80% enrollment as children, 4-12 years old, and their adult programs are just that, children's karate! Our Adult programs are 100% adult curriculum with only adult enrollment. We offer a Family and Children's Mixed Martial Arts Class that teaches your child focus, discipline, and self-confidence! It also provides REAL self-defense training! Most children's classes (Karate, Tae Kwon Do, etc) do not provide safe yet realistic self defense training, especially in the grappling and ground fighting aspects of self-defense. If your child ever has to defend themselves, you want their training to actually work!! We allow parents to train at the same time as their children, which is very convenient for scheduling and transportation. Parents train with the other parents in our family class, and they practice ADULT curriculum. Kids train with the other kids with children's curriculum. The Most Comprehensive Training A good way to understand the numerous martial art styles, is to look at them as specialties. The instructors are experts in a certain area. They generally focus on one or two areas, and less, or none at all, on all the other areas. For example, real self-defense training includes Standing Strikes, Standing Grappling, Ground Grappling, and Ground Striking. However, all Karate & Tae Kwon Do schools focus on Standing Strikes - even though most fights involve grappling and ground fighting. We are a mixed martial arts school, therefore, we provide comprehensive training. There are many paths to take (styles), and only you can determine which paths are best for you and your needs. We offer many classes with highly qualified instructors to fit a variety of needs and interests. In fact, the Warrior's Cove offers more styles and instructors than any school in the state! Check
out our classes on this website for details.
If you are interested in taking one or more classes at the Warrior's Cove, we suggest you visit during the class you are interested in. We have a seating area for visitors. You may stop by as many times as you like to watch classes. You may also participate in one free class in each program that we offer. You will find both our instructors and the other members to be friendly, informative, and supportive. If you have any questions that are not answered at this website, please call or email the office nearest you.
