Mondays & Wednesdays | 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
BJJ (Grappling)
Develop skills in "the game of human chess". These classes build a rock-solid foundation in movement, mechanics, and strategy — the key to improving both your self-defense and athletic performance. Through focused drills and live training, you’ll learn to flow from position to position, anticipate your opponent’s next move, and sharpen your timing and control. Discover how powerful the basics can be — and watch your grappling skills grow exponentially.
Tuesdays & Thursdays | 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM
BJJ (Over 35)
Train smarter, not harder. Designed for students aged 35 and older, this program focuses on longevity, efficiency, and mastery of the art. Build your mobility, flexibility, endurance, and technical precision while learning how to roll safely and sustainably. Whether you’re new to Jiu-Jitsu or returning after time away, this is the perfect space to refine your skills, challenge yourself, and enjoy the lifelong journey that Jiu-jitsu offers.
Tuesdays & Fridays | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
FKB (Kickboxing)
Learn the core techniques of kickboxing, from powerful punches to dynamic kicks, in a high-energy environment that'll push you to new heights.

Saturdays | 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
FJJ (Combatives)
This class focuses on mental clarity and real-world self-defense leadership using scenario-based training and situational awareness. You'll face multiple attackers, weapons, and environmental obstacles - think alleys, stairs, parking lots, and confined spaces. Using body protection gear, you'll practice striking, takedowns, submissions, and escapes in high-pressure situations. Train like your life depends on it, in a safe and controlled environment.
Saturdays | 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
The LAB
Take your training to the next level. After every regular 60-minute class, join our optional 30-minute LAB Up-grade program — a hands-on deep dive into the mechanics and mindset of Jiu-jitsu. Here you’ll explore techniques in greater detail, then test them in freestyle rolling against a fully resisting partner. The LAB is where learning becomes experience — refine your skills, experiment with new strategies, and truly make the art your own.

What People Are Saying

Jack M. Scott, Ph.D.
I strongly encourage anyone who wants to improve in their confidence, stamina, and physical and mental well-being to consider Jiu-jitsu. It is an amazing martial art that can be performed by anyone of almost any age. Sensei Bindner and the other teachers provide exceptional care and attention to help you reach your goals – whether it be obtaining your next belt or a black belt. They are truly sincere in their efforts and make each class an enjoyable and wonderful learning experience. I wish I had started when I was younger!!

Andrea McIntyre
“Sensei Bindner is a dedicated, patient, generous and skillful leader who sets a tone of respect and courtesy in everything he does. His discipline, compassion and professionalism evoke the best in the people around him. His expertise produces the highest quality results. Whether you are looking for a dojo to join, or a specialized training program for your agency, Derek Bindner can provide excellence in every aspect of program delivery. He has the uncommon ability to teach and engage students of all ages and aptitudes, and to inspire people to engage and experience the rewards of effort.”

D. Davis, Business Owner
I hold Warriorfit and Sensei Derek Bindner responsible for putting me on a better path in life that I am still on today. It is not only a great workout, it teaches you that when the going get’s tough and your brain is screaming at you to stop, you really can push past that and actually learn to enjoy or embrace the challenge at hand. I feel that has translated into not only me being in the best physical shape of my life, at 42 years old, I also feel I can make better decisions as a business owner and more importantly, a father. I now crave taking on new physical and mental challenges and conquering them… and then of course passing on that knowledge and mindset to my children, and others, and leading them by example.
LET OUR PASSION INSPIRE YOU!
