About Father’s Heart Sports

Our Vision

Every young person we reach has a place to belong, a coach who believes in them, and the tools to become a strong, disciplined leader, on and off the mats


It’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

— Frederick Douglass

Our Mission

We mentor young people in underserved communities through martial arts training, building discipline, character, and confidence through consistent training, coaching, and accountability.

Who We Serve

Young people in underserved communities. Future men and women. Future leaders.

We serve boys and girls facing real challenges unstable environments, lack of guidance, and limited opportunities. - They have untapped potential.

The need for strong, disciplined leaders has not diminished, it has accelerated. The world needs men and women of character. We are building them now through structure, mentorship, and training that develops disciplined, confident leaders on and off the mats.

What We Do

We provide structured training, mentorship, and character development, helping young people grow in discipline, confidence, and leadership in every area of life.

We don’t just run programs we build relationships, enforce standards, and walk with these young people over time.

Many of the young people we work with lack structure, discipline, and consistent male mentorship at The Father’s Heart provide all three every day.


Why combat sports?

 Throughout history Combat Sports like boxing, wrestling has always had the fewest barriers to entry and have raised a lot of young athletes out of poverty. Combat sports require hard work and discipline which is what men need and have always needed. Our present world has become too easy, and our men have become soft. When men go through hard times, they are forced to be stronger, or they will break. The Father’s Heart is here to build up our boys and future men, not beat them up. Our goal is to instill the grit needed to get through tough times and come out stronger. Life is tough and men need to be tougher.

If men are weak and lazy life will be harder than it needs to be.


“Martial arts throughout history has always been the base of developing men for war. We are currently in a spiritual war and our young men must to learn how to fight physically, mentally, and spiritually”
— Coach Matt Lindland
