Jaguar warrior

[2] They were a type of Aztec warrior called a cuāuhocēlōtl [kʷaːwoˈseːloːt͡ɬ] (derived from cuāuhtli [ˈkʷaːʍt͡ɬi] ("eagle") and ocēlōtl ("jaguar").

[5] They fought with a wooden club, studded with obsidian volcanic glass blades, called a macuahuitl.

To become a jaguar warrior, a member of the Aztec army had to capture a total of four enemies from battles.

The formal education of the Aztecs was to train and teach young boys how to function in their society as warriors.

The schools focused on bravery and included a great deal of physical effort and intense pain to increase the strength and stamina of the students.

From these projects, students would work hard to complete tasks, and gain the physical experience needed to engage in warfare.

The students of this school would also be used to transport shields, food, military supplies, weapons, armor, and wood to warriors on the battlefield.

Relationships outside of the school were also prohibited; if a student was caught sleeping with a woman, he would be beaten to death, or severely punished.
