The GWS Experience

At Gillis Warriorship Studies (GWS) our instructors provide personalized martial arts training experiences. All classes are delivered in a small, personalized setting (1-on-1 or up to 3-on-1). This setting is an excellent alternative to the standard group style format that most other martial arts studios use to deliver their classes.

It is the GWS philosophy that this approach allows instructors and students to form relationships and better situates the instructor to provided personalized learning to each student.

It’s for this reason that we only allow a maximum of 16 students to register in our programs at a time. This allows our instructors to focus on each student and their individual needs and learning outcomes. Some of the benefits to this approach include:

• reduced anxiety and embarrassment
• reduced chance of injury
• more rapid absorption of information and increased rates of skill development
• personalized mentorship and instruction

Through this personalized approach we can offer a unique learning experience that other martial arts providers who only provide group learning sessions cannot. This means that our coaches can focus on the LEARNER, and provide them an individual and personalized experience, versus other programs which are CURRICULUM focused. At GWS we can blend elements from multiple sources together to help each student on their own journey through Warriorship.
