The warrior Monk Academy Team
Jacob and Natalee met in 2019 at an Indoor Range. They both were hired as RSOs for a pistol class. A year and a half later, Natalee was offered a job there. They worked together for almost 2 years before they started dating at the very end of 2021. The whole range team started to get job offers from various different industries in October of 2022.
Jacob was selling handmade holsters at the time, but he wanted something more. He wanted to be able to put all the knowledge he learned in the last few years to work. So he started writing down classes and ended up opening The Warrior Monk Academy in April of 2023. Jacob Proposed to Natalee in July of 2023 and she said yes!
Natalee has been working for ASP since 2018 as an administrative assistant for the CEO and then made her debut as The Range Monkey in April 2021. Eager to continue pursuing all she learned from her six-month instructor development class, she proudly wears the title of Head of Instruction for WMA LLC.
Together, they have made The Warrior Monk Academy what it is. They take as many classes as possible and learn as much as they can from their coaches so that our students can learn as much as possible from us.
Our Mission Statement

We offer a range of classes, such as basic pistol classes, pepper spray classes, and criminology classes, all designed to equip our students with the knowledge and skills they need to protect themselves and others.
We are committed to continuous learning and seek out trusted and reputable sources to ensure that our curriculum is up-to-date and relevant. By incorporating principles of adult learning theory, we create engaging and entertaining classes that not only educate but also inspire our students to develop life-saving skills.
Beyond our dedication to self-defense education, we are driven by a strong sense of community. Our ultimate goal is to contribute and foster a community that refuses to be victims by donating a portion of our proceeds to different charities that help those who are or have been victims of violence. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background, is worth defending, and we are passionate about providing a safe and inclusive environment for all of our students.
A tagline of ours we cherish is, “You are worth defending,” we emphasize our unwavering commitment to the well-being and personal growth of each individual who sits and learns with us.
