BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Spartan Academy’s Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu Program delivers a tough, practical approach built on high‑percentage techniques, strong conditioning, and a no‑nonsense mindset. Our BJJ is effective for real‑world self‑defense and sport competition, blending jiu‑jitsu with elements of Judo, Wrestling, and Striking. Both of our instructors earned their black belts under Master Cleber Luciano. Our core principles—Positive Attitude, Fitness, Agility, Toughness, and Determination—drive everything we do. Join us today!
YOUTH JIU-JITSU
Youth Jiu‑Jitsu gives kids a strong foundation built on friendship, fitness, and confidence. Through training, they learn respect, teamwork, discipline, and practical self‑defense skills that carry over into school and everyday life. While parents may worry about techniques like takedowns or joint locks, BJJ is actually one of the safest sports for children. Classes are structured, supervised, and focused on teaching kids how to train responsibly in a positive, supportive environment.
MMA
Spartan Academy’s MMA Program delivers intense, practical training built from striking, wrestling, and BJJ. We focus on real‑world effectiveness, strong conditioning, and smart strategy to create well‑rounded, confident fighters. Whether you’re training for competition or personal growth, our MMA program builds toughness, skill, and discipline. Step into the Spartan mindset and get started today.
