A non-profit training academy dedicated to developing boys into confident & productive men. We believe men aren't born, they are built through a process.

1) In person classes teach discipline, self-control, distress tolerance, and assertive communication.

2) Students receive hands on Anti-Bully self-defense instruction (Wrestling, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga) 

3) After physical training boys receive 10-15 minutes of teaching from a Licensed Psychotherapist or qualified instructor (ie… Emotional control, Confidence, Honor, Respect, Mental toughness, Conflict Resolution, Chivalry, Courage, etc)

4) The final 5 to 10 minutes will involve a student presentation. We teach the boys how to speak in public & overcome performance anxiety. 1-2 students will give a short speech before the class to stimulate effective public speaking & communication skills. The verbal presentation will emphasize men throughout history who exhibited admirable qualities. Paying careful attention to eye contact, tone, facial expression, rate of speech, story arc, and command presence. Multiple training sessions a week will be available. Total session length (1.5 hours).

We don't just teach self defense, we specialize in masculine development.
