The course content is made up of over 15 hours of training and education videos. These videos have been broken up into 12 individual modules with each module consisting of between 5 & 10 chapters to improve your learning experience. The 12 training modules are released sequentially over the 4-week period of the course. Each week you will get access to new modules and invited to a live coaching call with Martin Rooney.


The Training For Warriors Level 1 Online Certification is delivered to you completely online (no physical materials shipped) through our private members area which you will have instant access to upon completing your registration. Study at your own pace. You can work through all of the material at a rate you are comfortable with and watch each video as many times as you like to ensure you fully absorb and understand all of the information. After the 4 weeks of training you will have another 4 weeks access to complete the course and take the exam. Yes, there is a deadline to complete the course but you will have 8 weeks in total to complete what is essential two full days of content. The brief examination given at the end of the course is 35 questions and multiple choice. Although the test is optional, you will be required to pass in order to become a Warrior Certified™ TFW Level 1 Coach.

Here is what the course is not



  • This is not an MMA Course

  • This is not only for fighters and or elite athletes (it is for any coach, athlete or fitness enthusiast looking to improve)

  • This is not for anyone with a negative or closed mindset (this will challenge people to become more)

  • This is not just information about Training Programming and Workouts (there is a deep philosophical component that is traditionally missing from training)

  • This is not going to deliver a Silver or Magic Bullet (there is no “best” we are always searching for “better”)

  • This is not a poorly organized product (talk about what it took to create it and over 14 hours of content)

  • This is not a boring series of lectures (this will keep your attention and motivate you to apply the information)
