Our MMA, Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, and Yoga offerings empower members of all ages to embrace a healthy lifestyle while enjoying connection to a supportive, family-oriented community. Level Ground Mixed Martial Arts couples its MMA training curriculum with:
Mentorship and Youth Leadership Cultivation: Individualized mentorship & student internship program
Academic and Career Advancement: College and career readiness through tutoring, college tours, and assistance with the college application process
Health, Wellness, and Life Skills: Structured curriculum consisting of workshops, dialogue, and goal setting relating to nutrition, food preparation, time management, financial literacy, healthy relationships, and more. Through these components, Level Ground seeks to meet the needs of its students holistically and provide a practical means for students to apply the Five Values both on and off the mat.
