"The training offered by you is some of the best I have ever experienced. The format you use for the kids class seems to work really well. I was surprised at how seamlessly mine fit in. I was also very impressed at the number of adults you had available to help facilitate the kids, and their willingness to make the work fun. I believe that having them involved in a high quality, Gracie-based system at this young age will produce payoffs that will not be seen for years to come. I just want to take a few minutes to say that I am very impressed with the way you run your business. I can see that you plan to grow your academy, but are being very careful to grow smarter instead of faster. That is a credit to you. I have been involved with several instructors that used the buy-a-belt and get rich quick methods of martial arts training. I saw none of that at your school."

"As the Training Coordinator for the defensive tactics and use of force for our department, I've encountered dozens of styles and systems of defense. The simple truth is that in police work, as well as your typical bar fight, the altercation ends up on the ground about 70% of the time. These are FBI statistics that remain constant year after year. To survive and overcome a situation like this, you need training that focuses on simplicity, realism, and proven methods. This is the training you will get at the Warrior's Cove. The staff is respectful, helpful and eager to see you make progress. Their system of martial arts cross training is by far the most enlightened I've come across in my 11 years of law enforcement."

"Jacob [Kent's Son] won two gold medals at the March Madness Judo Tournament. He fought 5 times (4 different opponents) and won all his matches. He won his weight division AND an expanded division of more experienced kids. He won four matches within 10 seconds, and the championship one by dominating a bigger kid on the ground. His groundwork was clearly superior and I was asked by a lot of people as to where he trains. I was sure to mention and credit Warrior's Cove for his ground work."

"In April he again won 1st place at the USJA State Championships!"

"In May Jacob took 1st place in his weight division.  He also won a 3 place in the 12 year old light weight group (Jacob is 9 years old). He had 6 fights and won 4 in this division. Again, his groundwork stood out as he reversed a hold-down by an experienced opponent who weighed 25 pounds more than him and held him for the required 25 seconds for a win. Against another twelve year old he reversed him twice and the crowd went nuts! Unfortunately, he ended up losing to him just because of the age and experience. When Jacob took his award after this the crowd gave him a long ovation. This was the USJI State Championships. He now qualifies for the Junior Olympics this July in Atlanta, Georgia. Thanks for the training."

"Warriors Cove provides people with the ultimate opportunity to learn the best martial arts training available. The instructors have exceeded my expectations, which were already high because my instructors in my last martial art were fantastic. The environment is safe and friendly. Students care about each others safety and want to help each other learn. My son goes to Warriors Cove with me and LOVES IT! If you want to learn a martial art, you would be doing yourself a huge disservice to not give Warriors Cove a try."

"When I found the Warriors Cove I was impressed in the safe manner that Mr. Arnebeck conducts his classes. Also the senior students impressed me in the way they help to make sure new students learn the techniques correctly. I started BJJ just to get in shape and lose weight. If you really want to lose weight just show up to class!!!! The side effects..... you will learn real self defense."

"The quality of training, the hours, the flexibility to attend other classes and sessions are all GREAT! I've only been a member for a short time, but I have found all of the instructors to be deserving of recognition.  They have all shown tremendous patience with me personally and have taken the time to work with me to improve. I originally joined the Cove as a way of providing some conditioning to my workouts.  I'm happy to say that I received that and so much more.  Under Mr. Arnebeck's direction and dedication the Cove has been an incredible experience.  My conditioning has improved, I've lost over 20lbs, and I've taken my self defense skills to a whole new level.  The Warrior's Cove provides everything you're looking for."
