- "Warren is the type of coach that any student and fighter would be very
fortunate to have. His vast and varied experience in the grappling world is
a very valuable asset, and being one of his first students I watched as he
channeled the same drive to improve that has made him a great fighter into
developing his abilities to bring out those same skills in others. Since I
relocate frequently, Warren's qualities
as a coach and the gym environment
he maintained is the standard at which
I compare all prospective gyms to
whenever I've moved to a new place,
and I always look forward to the
opportunity to train with Warren again. - Dan Lykins- professional poker
player, sports and rehab physiologist, and BJJ student - "When I think about what training in jiu jitsu I can identify a couple of things
1. Confidence- knowing the limits of my mind and body. Having tested those limits and thus having better knowledge of myself and my capabilities.
2. Patience- you learn to think with a clear mind and resolve problems
when things are challenging.
3. Friendship and network. There is a special bond between those who have been through the same challenges and have worked to achieve the same goals.......Around the world I know just
by having wrestled and practicing jiu jitsu there is a place to stay, an academy to work out at, and, friends with whom I share an immediate bond.............. Wrestling and jiu jitsu has helped my resume for banking jobs. Even those who have never trained look in, and, know the dedication and work ethic it takes to succeed. "
