ACWA Martial Arts Training Center

The ACWA (Armored Cross Warriors’ Academy) Martial Arts Training Center is a Christ-centered, combat-discipline training program. Founded by Dr. TJ Cuenca, a Christian warrior-shepherd, 6th degree black belt martial arts instructor, and trainer of elite special forces and law enforcement agencies from around the world, the ACWA trains modern Christian warriors to fight spiritual, mental and physical battles using biblical principles, martial arts, and real-world discipleship.

We serve believers who refuse to be passive in a broken world. We train men and women to armor up, build the Kingdom of God, and protect the innocent.

Our Mission

Why ACWA Exists – Raise a New Generation of Christian Defenders
The world is dark, and many in the church are asleep. ACWA exists to prepare Christians for the battles ahead—spiritually, mentally, and physically. We stand on Ephesians 6:10–18 (The Armor of God) and commit to training disciples who will:

  • Protect and train the weak
  • Defend truth
  • Resist evil
  • Advance the Kingdom of Christ
