ABOUT SPARTAN COMBAT SPORTS
Built on Faith. Forged in Battle. Driven by Family.
We are April and Spartan Lockhart Jr. — a husband and wife team, proud parents, and the dedicated owners of Spartan Combat Sports.
Our vision for Spartan is rooted in a profound belief placed in our hearts by God: to cultivate not just fighters, but a family, a stronghold, and a bright future for the next generation of champions.
This is more than a business for us; it's our ministry, our legacy, and our life's work — and we navigate this journey together, side by side.
OUR STORY
We understand the essence of fighting — not only within the ring but also for our family, our faith, and our aspirations.
Spartan Combat Sports was built from the ground up. Through decades of dedication, sacrifice, and perseverance, we transformed our passion for martial arts into a thriving organization that nurtures elite competitors while remaining true to our foundation: a family that fights together, prays together, and stays together.
