Why Members Love Us!
“Absolutely love WARCRY Martial Arts! Coach Dillon is incredibly patient and has a natural gift for connecting with kids—he truly meets them where they're at. My children have so much respect for him and look up to him as a role model. Both Dillon and Kiana are kind, welcoming, and create an environment that feels like home.
What really sets WARCRY apart is their unconventional approach to martial arts. There’s no pressure to chase the next belt level, which has completely taken the stress out of the experience. I really appreciate this refreshing philosophy.
Dillon takes the time to truly get to know the kids—he’s trustworthy, approachable, and just gets it. After sitting on the sidelines for a couple of years watching my kids, I finally decided to join in—and it’s honestly the funnest workout I’ve ever done! It doesn’t even feel like exercise—you're basically play fighting for 90 minutes and laughing through it.
This is a sport the whole family can enjoy together. Can’t recommend WARCRY enough!”
— Richelle Schill (Google Review)“Dillon and Kiana truly are TREMENDOUS people. Not only in the way they conduct themselves on the mats but off as well. With time I can honestly see them both as strong bastions in the overall growing BJJ community.
From coming in from out of town just so the boys can SMASH each other on a "off" day. To the numerous rolling sessions that probably should have been privates, what else could you possibly do to prove your commitment to something.
I'm really glad to be able to help in your kids class especially and I hope you all the best in your latest and greatest endeavor.”
— Roy Bewcyk (Facebook Review)“I have nothing but good things to say about WRCRY. Coach Dillon and Coach Kiana are both fantastic.
I recently joined Jiu jitsu and started training at WARCRY. I was a little nervous at first but they were both very welcoming and very patient. They have both been crucial in making it a very positive experience and now I am addicted to Jiu jitsu.
My husband and our boys are also training at WARCRY.
I can’t say this enough but Dillon and Kiana are both so amazing with the kids. It has become a family event all around.
I highly recommend WARCRY Martial Arts, young or old, big or small, there is a place for everyone!”
