Who We Serve

Future Men and Women.

The need for men has not diminished, it has only accelerated and if present trends continue, we are going to have a real need for heroes.

We build future heroes using the long-term athlete development model. We structure martial arts group training programs, as well as individual one-on-one sessions and outreach work. We provide the vital support and advocacy that changes boys and young men’s lives for the better. We focus our work with young men and women who face structural discrimination and disadvantages to develop confident, inspired athletes with a life-long love of sport.


“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

Together with your support, Fathers Hearts goal is to generationally change kid’s lives for the future of our community and world.


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.
