- The Modern Samurai Academy
Where Academic Excellence Meets the Way of the Warrior
The Modern Samurai Academy is San Antonio’s first and only Texas Sports Academy microsite, offering Cognia-accredited K–12 education tailored to elementary students. By blending academics through our two-hour learning model with Ju Ki Do Martial Arts, we are raising gentle warriors. Our promise: children will excel academically, love coming to school, and develop the essential life skills they need to thrive.
- Welcome
A dojo for the mind, the body, the warrior spirit, and the mission.
Every student who walks through our doors trains in two disciplines at once: the rigor of a mastery-based classroom, and the focus of the martial arts floor. We believe a child who learns to sit with a hard problem — and stand their ground with poise — carries that same steadiness into every part of life.
That’s the idea behind Modern Samurai: a student today, a leader tomorrow, grounded in character, fitness, and self-defense from day one.
A journey of fitness strength and discipline since 2025
School Mission
The Modern Samurai Academy’s mission is to create a limitless environment that empowers every student to unlock their full potential and thrive academically, athletically, and personally. At MSA, we believe that students thrive when they are engaged, challenged, and inspired by their learning environment. Our innovative model fosters a love of school, encourages independence, and equips students with the tools they need to succeed academically and in life.
- Our Programs
Three pillars, one school day.
From morning fellowship to Ju Ki Do dismissal, every block of the day builds toward the same mission — building leaders, strengthening families, restoring communities.
01
- Academics
Two-Hour Mastery Learning
Focused, personalized academic blocks throughout the day, delivered through a Cognia-accredited, mastery-based model — less lecture, more real progress.
02
- Martial Arts
Ju Ki Do
Daily stances, kata, and technique training rooted in the Ju Ki Do philosophy — the Gentle Powerful Way — alongside entrepreneurial martial-arts training.
03
- Character
Life Skills & Enrichment
Daily Life Skills Training plus an enrichment rotation — chess, coding, languages, arts, and design — that turns discipline into initiative.
- The Daily Rhythm
One school day, fully mapped.
Academics and martial arts are woven together all day — not separated into “school” and “after-school.” Students rotate through focused academic blocks and martial arts training (stances, kata, technique), with character development and faith woven in from the very start of the day.
The day also includes Life Skills Training and an Enrichment Rotation — chess, coding, language learning, typing, handwriting, and arts & crafts — giving students a well-rounded mix of academics, movement, and character growth, all before dismissal.
