Testimonial from a parent in Florida; Hello, my name is Mike. My boys Camden (7) and Cayden (5) are scholarship program recipients. We are so grateful for your program because we were very close to having to remove our boys from Lion Up martial arts academy because of financial strain. We were devastated because our boys have benefited so much from the Lion Up family and their confidence and self-esteem have skyrocketed due to martial arts and the family they have gained. Without the Mats foundation, we would not be able to continue their martial arts journey and we are so grateful we received the phone call that allowed our boys to continue growing in their abilities.

Huge thank you to for providing these boys with the best training. It makes all the difference.
