About Us:

The Warrior Mind Training program was developed in 2005 in conjunction with veterans, historians, martial artists, and with professionals in the medical field, including doctorates of neuroscience, to integrate and present the WMT mental hygiene tools and techniques for the US military. WMT is founded on mental strength training exercises that have been utilized by warriors for thousands of years to maintain focus during battle and to reintegrate themselves into society after the battle is over. By combining these powerful mind focusing techniques with modern mind training techniques for enhanced performance and stress decompression, warriors can learn to cultivate and strengthen their most powerful weapon...their minds.

All of our senior instructors have a minimum of 15 years of experience practicing mental focus and mind training. All introductory-level instructors have successfully completed the WMT Basic Trainer (Level I) certification program. Currently, WMT has certified over 35 WMT Basic Trainers (Level I).

WMT classes are available to military personnel: Active Duty, Reserve or Retired. Although the program is uniquely designed for warriors, adult-aged military family members are also welcome to attend. Military dependents under the age of 18 may attend only with a legal guardian present.
