WTA TIKANGA (values)

In our club, we believe in building good humans; then great fighters. Training at Warrior Training Academy works from the inside-out. Our tikanga is designed to keep us all safe and create an environment that enables our whānau to be the best versions of themselves.

kotahitanga (unity)

• Behave in a way that is mana-enhancing to you, your whānau and your wider fight whānau.

• Be a coachable student, that’s what you pay your fees for. It also ensures our coaches can provide their wisdom and knowledge without distraction.

• Stay humble and leave your ego at the door. Our collective training experience is far better when you bring your best self to class.

kaitiakitanga (guardianship and protection)

• Protect our club by caring for your swipe tag, only using it for yourself and booking all classes.

• Our club is a drug and alcohol free-zone, including all in-house events and fight shows.
