Just a casual summer Tuesday at Spartan Academy Mixed Martial Arts—great training, great people, and a room full of teammates pushing each other to get better every day.
Whether you’re looking to compete, get in shape, learn self-defense, or become part of an incredible community, this is the place to be.
Come see what makes Spartan Academy special. The doors are open, and the mats are waiting. 🥋💪
What side do you fall to on the back? Ideally you fall to the arm over side. There are of course options to the underhook side, but the arm over side allows to choke much easier.

What an incredible Saturday on the mats at Spartan Academy! 🔥
The gym was packed with great energy, teammates pushing each other to improve, and friends from different places coming together to train, learn, and grow. This is exactly what martial arts is all about—hard work, respect, friendship, and building a strong community.
We love seeing the mats full of positive vibes, and it’s amazing to watch our team continue to grow week after week. 👊
A huge thank you to everyone who came out and shared the mat with us today. Our doors are always open, and you’re welcome back anytime. Let’s keep building something special together!

If you haven’t been to class you’re missing a great time… Nice Tuesday evening and that’s without our 20+ people for kickboxing fundamentals.
Thank you all for making this place amazing and unique 🙏
Can't finish the arm bar? Try these adjustments. If the thumb rotates up, apply force downwards. If that fails, try overwrapping the arm.
