Spartan Fighters Updates

We would like to congratulate the Spartan warriors from their impressive displays, of their fights this last weekend!

-Chris McAlister fought last Friday night in Rochester, MN for elite Fight Nights Muay Thai event.  Chris won his fight and showed great skill and poise.  This increases Chris win ratio and put him at one of the top Kickboxing competitor in Minnesota!

-Cameron Gilliam fought a very game Lydell Miller at the Caged Chaos at Canterbury III show, in shakopee, MN.  However it was a short night for Miller.  Cameron gilliam was able to finish the fight in the first round by TKO, and continue his reign as the  Driller amateur 155lbs champion.  We expect to see big things in this young man's future!

-Codie Kaler stays undefeated as a professional fighter defeating a very tough Mikey Zimmer in Shakopee, MN.  Codie has recently started training with Tom Schmitz and the Spartan Martial Arts team and it showed Sat night.  The fight was a back and forth in the first round, but Codie was able to secure a tight triangle choke to end Zimmers hopes for the win.  Kaler wins at 1:56 of Rd 2, due to triangle.

-Darrien Mackiel fought on the Caged Chaos at Canterbury III show, in shakopee, MN.  Darrien fought a very talented Sam Nelson and fought a very hard nosed battle!  Both fighters showed tremendous heart and skill in this event, with Nelson getting the node on all 3 judges score cards.  Darrien has come a long way with his martial arts progression and will continue to improve with no doubt!  With some extra concentration to conditioning and diet we expect Darrien to become a huge name in MN MMA!

Spartan Martial Arts is Moving/Expanding!!!

It has been only a short time since the beginning of Spartan Marital Arts in 2011. It has grown very fast since then and now Spartan MA will be moving to a new, larger location that will be available to the public starting next month, September 2013! The current location is roughly 3000 square ft, and the new gym will be over 7000 square ft. That is a huge amount of training space that will be able to accommodate more than one class going on at the same time!


The gym layout is two training rooms, both, covering 2500 square ft. of mat space, will have brand new strength and conditioning equipment along with heavy bag stations. One room will be dedicated as the home for a new class called Martial Arts Fitness!


Martial Arts Fitness is exactly what it sounds like, a fitness class that will be quick-paced and more exciting then the typical aerobics/weight training that most people are used to. Martial Arts Fitness class is designed to be changeling and a class in which anyone can do, not just an elite MMA fighter. We will teach basic marital arts-type techniques with a unique mix of fitness exercises.


Another great addition to Spartan Marital Arts will be it's very own Nurtrashop located right inside the gym! This will allow for members to purchase all their supplement needs at the gym where they are working out! We will provide educated assessments to your health/fitness goals to help you choose and decide what products are right for you.

Besides the two giant training areas and the new Nutrashop, the new gym location will feature a locker room, children's play area, wi-fi internet access, brand new equipment and provide a convenient location, right off 694 in Oakdale, MN!

We are very excited for the move and we hope you are too! Make sure to stay updated on our grand opening by checking our Facebook page, YouTube and by frequently checking our blog!


We are excited for the changes coming up in the next couple of months and appreciate you being part of this new step on our journey together!

Below you'll find some photos of the moving process to our new location!
