Classicist Werner Jaeger:

It is, after all, easy to understand how a passionate admiration of noble bodies and balanced souls could spring up in a race which for countless years had prized physical prowess and spiritual harmony as the highest good attainable by man, and which had striven by grave and ceaseless rivalry, by exertion involving the utmost energies of mind and body alike, to bring those qualities to the greatest possible perfection.

Yes, Manliness was very important to them.

They didn’t buy their Manliness, look Manly with the right clothes and possessions. Be ashamed of their bodies by covering them up.

It was not about “appearing” Manly,

The Spartans WERE MANLY!

They had to be! They defended their homes and families against invaders.

If they were conquered by a foreign power, the Men were killed (warriors) and the Women and children turned into slaves.

So it was very important to know how to fight, to have a trained and conditioned body and most importantly have the Moral Virtues of Humility, Integrity, Selflessness, Self Control and always showing Respect.

Then and today…..

This site celebrates the Manly Warrior Male, in the ancient Greek tradition. We are Men who train and fight daily. We can be found in all walks of life. Just like the ancient Greek palaistra, we train in the fight gyms, working on perfecting our technique depending on the fight tradition chosen, and there are many worldwide. Some of us, imitating the Greek tradition, also fight each other nude. We have a strict moral warrior code, with Humility, Integrity, Selflessness, Self Control and always showing Respect in high regard. We always put training and fighting first, before hedonism and money. Where money is prized, Manliness is despised. Copyright material will be removed upon request.
