SPARTAN ACADEMY

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 will teach discipline, self-control, distress tolerance, and confidence.

2)Students will receive hands on Anti-Bully self-defense instruction (Grappling, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing) 

3)After physical training your boy will receive 10-15 minutes of teaching (ie… Emotional control, Confidence, Honor, Self-Respect, Mental toughness, Conflict Resolution, Chivalry, Courage, etc)

4)The final 5 to 10 minutes will focus on teaching boys to articulate themselves and develop skills for speaking in public. We will teach your son how to overcome performance anxiety. 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).

5)Expect Paramilitary style challenges on the beach and in the woods as we grow.

6)Your boy will eventually be paired with an older male who will collaborate with you along your son’s developmental journey.

We don't just teach self defense, we specialize in masculine development. We teach boys to speak with clarity and confidence, we coach boys in mental toughness, chivalry, critical thinking, and relationships skills. We understand 1 in 4 American homes are without a father so we are passionate about giving boys the male modeling they need. Our program is lead by Jonathan Rios, a licensed psychotherapist with over 20+ years working in the men's mental health space.
