Level Ground Mixed Martial Arts

We value resilience, perseverance, community, and opportunity.

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. In 2014, Level Ground aims to:

-Provide in-school and after-school programming to a minimum of 150 youth through our holistic model

-Launch an integrated Sports and Restorative Justice Counseling program specifically designed for court-involved and proven-risk youth

We are currently partnering with Office to Octagon and Boston Youth Wrestling to open a state-of-the-art MMA studio in the heart of inner city Boston by the end of 2014. This facility will serve a minimum of 500 urban youth by 2017.

100% of youth will receive:

-Premier MMA and wrestling training

-Professional mentorship

-Daily Academic and Career Support, with access to our community college, 4-year university, and trade school network

Why Investing in Girls Matters For girls, martial arts can be transformative.
On the mat, girls are expected to be strong, to speak up, and to lead. Over time, that confidence carries into school, work, and life beyond the gym.

In 2026, we’re committed to deepening and expanding this impact by:
-Strengthening leadership pathways through our Student Trainer program,
-Training girls to host community-based and corporate self-defense seminars,
-Expanding girls-only and women-led classes, and
-Investing in more women coaches

Student Trainer spotlight: meet Han!
We love Han! She is so much fun to be around, and trains HARD! Looking forward to seeing how she continues to grow on and off the mat!

As we look ahead to 2026, we can’t help but look back.
Back to 2013, when Level Ground started with 5 young people, duct-taped mats, and a modest YMCA rec room.

Since then, we’ve built our first gym in Uphams Corner with our own hands and help from volunteers on the weekends, renovated our home in Fields Corner, and grown alongside our community. In 2025 alone, 1,200+ youth and adults stepped on the mats, and 50 teens earned paid jobs as leaders and instructors.

None of this happens without the people who believed early, showed up consistently, and kept pushing with us. Thank you for being part of this journey.

As we head into 2026, we’re excited to keep building together.

Help keep the momentum going 💪🧡
