Warrior Life Martial Arts - Gig Harbor

"Our girls really enjoy their training at Warrior Life! The Sensei's and assistants are passionate about community empowerment and self-defense. The kids learn jiujitsu techniques in a developmentally appropriate, firm, and fun way. Sensei Karri has a gift for boosting the confidence and esteem of others. This dojo values diversity, equity, and inclusion. They've hosted a few AAPI safety defense workshops for the community! We appreciate the level of effort Sensei Karri has taken to learn and honor jiujitsu's Japanese roots. Highly recommend! :)"

"My kids love it here. Neither of them wanted to try jiu-jitsu, but after the first class they were hooked. Now they go every day they can. Sensei Karri is great with the kids and they really respond to him. He knows when to push and when not to."

"My son wasn't sure about jui jitsu, but he was willing to try. Now hes a clock watcher! He wants to be on time to get the whole experience. Besides having fun while learning really cool stuff, his confidence is growing. The instruction is fun but demanding. My son feels challenged and encouraged. My wife and I are glad we enrolled him. We feel it is well worth the cost. Our son is learning life lessons in style! Thank you Warrior Life!"

"I was one of the parents at the listed incident. There was nothing excessive about being tapped on the ass with a stick. The stick is merely used to correct mistakes and ensure proper form. My son has been going to this school for several months and despite repeated taps with a stick is still alive! Martial arts requires a certain degree of durability and toughness. You will be hard pressed to find a martial arts teacher who cares more for his students than Karri."

"Took my son there for more training after his dojo closed. I was greatly influenced by other mothers, fathers and families there training with their kids, so I joined also. We now have a great time learning life lessons, self control, self defense, and getting to know others who are as serious about your advancement as theirs. This technique of martial arts is new to me. It is not all about hitting and kicking people to hurt them. You have to come and experience it for yourself to truly understand. Come join us! Families are encouraged to come together. Oh yeah, I lost 10 lbs in two weeks!"
