Aztec Warriors
Those, who decided to devote their lives to warfare attended special military schools called the Cuicacalli. Aztec warriors were a group of brave young men, who were well trained in the use of weapons for use in combat, battle, and war. They were the military. Few Aztecs were as privileged as the military men and even young cadets had the respect of royalty and the priesthood. This career was made rewarding by rank, land, and good wages given by the emperor. Eagle and Jaguar warriors were the elite and performed secret dances and received additional grants of land.
