Who We Are
Are We Right For You
At Warrior, we recognize that every student walks through our doors with a unique set of goals, motivations, and reasons for training. Some come to compete, some to get in shape, some for self-defense, and others to find structure or community. We believe wholeheartedly that these goals don’t need to be the same for us to support one another. In fact, it’s the diversity of those goals—and the shared commitment to growth—that makes our community strong. We approach training with a mindset rooted in collaboration, not transaction. It’s not about what you get in return—it’s about how we all grow stronger by investing in each other. When one person levels up, we all benefit. When one person struggles, we all step in.
Safety
Training is only sustainable when we take care of each other.
Diversity
We embrace different styles, and perspectives.
Cohesion
We are individuals, but we train as one team.
Realism
We train for real life. The foundation of our practice is self-defense and practical application—not gamesmanship.
Coaches
Our Coaches
With years of experience both in coaching and competing, you will not find a more well rounded and professional coaching team to help you achieve your goals. Our coaching is rooted in purpose and clarity: to help students reach personal and professional goals through structured, meaningful training. We focus on developing a conceptual framework for understanding physical conflict—skills that extend beyond the mat into real life. We teach and train through three interconnected lenses. This multi-faceted approach lets us coach with intention and adaptability, honoring the individual journey of each student

Larry Ruiz
Brazilian Jiu-JitsuMMA
I grew up in the tristate area bouncing around between NY, CT, and NJ. My introduction to fight sports and competition was boxing as a juvenile and competing in the New York Golden Gloves. I joined the military in 2010, where I was introduced to great mentors and traveled around the world. Benjamin Westrich was one of those mentors introducing me to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through the Army Combatives program. This altered the direction of my life. I was drawn to the problem solving nature of combat sports, granted a second chance at pursuing athletics through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I never looked back. I can never give back what combat sports has done for me and taught me through the years, but it is my life pursuit to pay it forward as a coach, competitor, and friend.
