Who we are
Are You Sick and Tired of Arguing With Your Teen About Their Homework, Grades, and Motivation?
But, it’s not just paying attention or listening that is the biggest issue. Getting them to understand that education is the way to a better life is key. A good education opens many new opportunities and possibilities. They can have what we never even dreamed could be possible.
Our teen martial arts program helps by consistently teaching the value of education and how to develop the skills to focus more, learn better, and to have the ambition to go to college.
What Sets Us Apart and Makes Our Program Different ...
We teach self-defense skills, NOT just martial arts
I don’t know exactly what other martial arts schools do, but I can tell you that we don’t teach fluff or stuff that doesn't work in a high-stress encounter. We believe in teaching you skills that work in a real situation. You’ll learn how to neutralize the situation FAST by getting skills that are direct and simple to use.
We specialize in beginner classes
You don’t have to have any experience in martial arts or anything else. You don’t have to be in shape, you don’t have to be athletic, and you don’t have to be strong. Our classes are beginner friendly! No one is going to embarrass you or make fun of you being a beginner.
Uniforms are NOT required To Train
You don’t need a uniform and we don’t require uniforms for our teen classes. You don’t have to buy or have any equipment to try a class. All you have to do is wear some comfortable athletic clothes for class, show up, and enjoy the experience of learning how to defend yourself.
You won’t slow class down!
Again, our classes are designed for beginners. You will never slow class down or anyone else. Each new student gets to work with one of our ambassadors to get comfortable with the class. We want you to feel comfortable because we know how intimidating it is to step into a martial arts school and learn something new. It is challenging and we will help you overcome this challenge.
Teen girls excel here!
You don’t have to be flexible
Teen girls excel in our classes and are trained just like all warriors. Being able to defend yourself is something more women have to worry about than men. That is why our classes are not just beginner-friendly but designed to work for women just as much as any student. We help you develop speed, power, and confidence in yourself and your skills. If you must use it, we want you to know you can get home safely.
Being flexible is NOT a requirement to learn self-defense. Matter of fact, we don’t teach you to kick someone in the head in a street fight. And, there are very good reasons why you should avoid this, so you don’t have to worry about your flexibility. No one is going to embarrass you in class if you aren’t flexible. But, you will gain flexibility through these classes which we hope you will find beneficial.
3 Facts You Should Know About A Martial Arts School Before You Ever Enroll Your Teenager In A Program ...
Structured Classes
Developing any skill requires that there is some level of challenge associated to it. Growth happens when you are taken out of your comfort zone and placed in an environment where you have to figure out how to excel and succeed. That should be the #1 aspect required in a martial arts school before you enroll. At HOD, we believe in making each class a level of challenge to learn and grow from.
Professional Coaches
Schools and colleges make sure that teachers are specifically trained to work with students on skills and other characteristics. Therefore, the martial arts school that you considered should uphold those standards as well. We have a rigorous training schedule for our coaches to learn how to teach, coach, and instruct the skills of personal protection to any teenager…even if you have previous injuries.
Blueprint for Success
Again, just like our school system, there should be a path that you follow to develop the necessary proficiency and skill for your level. The martial arts school should have the same type of blueprint or map for you to follow and to develop accordingly. Here at HOD, we have a blueprint that is simple to follow from the beginner level all the way to black belt level. This helps you learn quicker and gain skills faster.

Here's what our clients say about us
Real reviews from some of our customers
Mr. & Mrs. Lopez - San Diego
"Our child has been a student at Spears Academy of Martial Arts since he was 4 years old. HOD has done more than we expected in our son's life. He is more confident and responsible. The effects of martial arts go beyond the studio. It is helping him at home, and school, and we know it will help him in the future. We love watching him grow and be a role model for other kids."
Cambero's Family - San Diego
"Spears Academy of Martial Arts has changed my child's life drastically; we have been part of this wonderful school for the last four years and I can say that both of our kids have grown not only physically but mentally! This is all thanks to SAMOA's coaching technique, goal, and mission to provide morals, values, and discipline to our kids and help them be successful in life."
Hashmi Family - Lemon Grove
"After joining the Spears Academy of Martial Arts, our child has developed self-assurance and acquired the ability to protect themselves from bullies. SAMOA has been instrumental in our child's personal growth, imparting valuable life skills and leadership qualities."
Some Additional Reason Our Program Works ...
Direct
Neutralizing the threat that is in front of you, should be as direct as from point A to point B. Learning skills or a "system" that take a less direct path to ending a situation is dangerous to your safety. That is why we teach you direct skills.
Simple
The more you complicate self-defense with styles, forms, or other stuff that dilutes training only leads to false confidence. If you are serious about learning self-defense skills, then you need to keep things simple!
Effective
When solutions to violent problems, like being physically attacked, aren't effective in neutralizing the situation, the higher likelihood of it turning deadly. That is why we only focus on effective skills for the situation.

Our 4 Style Approach To Self-Defense Training
When it comes to learning self-defense, getting real skills matters. There isn’t one “style” of martial arts you need to know. You need to know how to fight standing or on the ground. You need to know how to defend someone who is trying to slam you on the floor, and you need to have the mental toughness to endure the rigors of this unpleasant experience. That is why we take a true 4 style mixed martial arts approach. Here’s what you learn and why.
Boxing
Boxers have some of the BEST hand fighting skills. Their stand-up, footwork, and movement is the number one reason we use this style to teach stand-up skills that most people face in a self-defense situation: someone trying to punch you in the face. Learning how to defend against something like this and how to launch your own attack to neutralize the situation is critical to you ending the violent situation fast. This is a direct, simple, and effective fighting style.
Tae Kwon Do / Kicking
Tae Kwon Do has some of the most superior kicking skills and footwork to match when it comes to kicking. There really isn’t much else out there that allows you to develop speed, power, and movement with kicking at the same time. Your ability to defend against kicks is vital in self-defense. People don’t just try to punch us in the nose, they fight dirty and also try to kick us low.
Muay Thai
Here’s where you get to learn how to bring boxing, kicking, knees, and elbows together to learn The Art of Eight Limbs. We use Muay Thai to teach power with fluidity. You’ll also learn one of the most important ranges of self-defense, clinch range. Don’t worry though, our classes are safety-focused, so you will get to learn real skills in a controlled environment.
Pankration
Pankration is an ancient art that focuses on all ranges of fighting. You had to know how to stand and fight, and it was required that you know how to fight on the ground…as well as to get back up to your feet. This is the reality of self-defense; fights can go to the ground, but you better know how to get up because you can only fight one person down there. We focus on teaching take-down, grappling, and getting back to your feet skills.
