This business needed to be put out of its misery ! It was a rip off factory, owner would keep billing people after their contracts expired, where deployed, etc. He needed a new territory to start his scam operation again. What a joke of a business.

I enjoy bringing my two sons here for the past two years. The training is very good, my kids enjoy the master McDonald and Mr. Gil they are great with the kids. When they are done I can get them to go right to bed they used up all their energy in class. I even quit my gym membership at Swansboro fitness and I joined the krav maga class which is amazing and Sam and Tina are great hands on instructors. I also joined their new warrior fitness classes which include personal hands on training and group training, many is very motivating but does not push us to hard nor does he take it easy on us. It is the perfect balance and my fitness and body have all ready made great changes in the last two months of doing it. I would recommend trying it out for yourself.

Owner/ instructor is terrible to deal with. School is a joke, save your money put your child in a rec sport. I notice all the good comments were made on the same day, probably by the owner.

This school has an amazing instructor from Miami that has a great amount of experience in this Olympic sport. No other school can come close to the type of training that is offered and they also have programs to help my kids receive scholarships if they stay in the program until they get they graduate high school. I am so amazed of the size of this school and I am happy to have found such a place. It is a drive from Camp Lejeune but the gas is worth it since my kids love it and are actually being trained to be great and true martial artists. I have gone to other schools that were supper cheap but you pay what you get. Thank you for the opportunity and privilege to be able for my kids to train with such a wonderful and caring instructor.

This is a very poorly run school. I will be surprised if this school is still open for business in 6 months.

I have trained all over the country as a marine stationed from California to Virginia, and this place is the biggest martial art facility I've trained in. I guess u would have to have a big building to offer as much as they do plus a weight room and locker rooms. Very impressive from the inside but u couldnt tell on the outside. Very nice staff, great instruction, family friendly. It's true what they say Don't Judge a book by its cover, in this case its a building!

I really like the idea that u can train in just about any discipline you can think of and I can get a good work out while my wife and kids are training. If you want to learn mma, traditional martial arts or self defense come down and check this place out. Ive got my boys in the warriors program and my wife in the combat aikido and krav.magazine, but I'm a taekwondo and Brazilian jiujitsu guy myself.

I luv bjj and muay thai, and Im persuing a career in the UFC at least that is what my hopes and dreams are. I joined this place last fall and have been very happy with the bjj and muay thai training their bjj instructor steve is awsome and personable and we learn alot of sweet techniques. He is motivating and and challenges us in every class, just what I'm looking for! Cool place too, its big and well equiped, I can't wait til they finish the remod. it will be tight when they are finshed.

I luv ninjutsu training never heard of it before,but the warriors den has a real 5th degree ninjutsu instructor! I have never met a real ninja before! Maybe that is because when they are around you aren't supposed to see them. Haha, but really cool, I don't know what school around Jville and swansboro has a ninjutsu class. Awsome martial art, very unique, and I can say ninjas train hard, at least these ninjas do.

I luv the warriors den! I've been a student of theirs since they were on gum branch as jacksonville taekwondo. I have trained with them in wrestling, taekwondo, judo, ninjutsu for about two years now. Im a marine here at lejuene and I can say I've tried all the other schools in onslow county but didn't really like the quality of their training, by far perfer the warriors den! I am so into martial arts that when I get out of the marine corps I've decided to dedicate myself to make it all the way up the ranks and help open up other schools with them. I believe they are the best school around! I challenge anyone to come see for themselves.

I joined my daughter kay up just three months ago, and she absolutely loves it. I haven't seen her excited about doing any physical activity like this in a while. She just tested for her 2nd yellow stripe in taekwondo and she did great!I'm very happy with the instructors and training my daughter is getting they are very friendly and professional and motivate the students. I'm confident by the time she gets to blue belt she will be able to handle herself if she ever needed to! The instructors really now what they are doing! Very happy, I'm thinking about joining their krav maga, or combat hapkido, luv their zumba fitness classes too!

I am very impressed with the training here at the warriors den, as well as the size of the training area. I have been training here about the last six months in taekwondo and ninjutsu and I have learned alot in a short period of time. The instructors are intense and push you til you want to quit, but they dont let you. The ninjutsu is awsome and I haven't been anywhere who offers it. I've trained in other schools since I was 15 years old(shotokan, judo, olympic taekwondo) and I'm 24 now and none of the schools that I have trained in teach you and train you like this place. If you are looking for good ol' school training this is the place to go. Plus they have at least 6,000 sq. of training area and they are finishing up another 6,000 sq. ft. here soon that they have plus a workout area! Biggest place I've trained in yet!

Very proffessional instructors who love what they do, they are awsome with my kids and I even had my youngest son's school teacher tell me how much his attitude in school is and is very pleased with his academic performance, much more focused now! Great family and friendly atmosphere. I went to other schools around and this is by far the best and my kids actually learn martial arts instead of excercise and play games. Would highly recommend to anyone!
