Level-Ground MMA

About this Project

Level Ground Mixed Martial Arts' training center is dedicated to making combat sports accessible to all Bostonians. This facility offers professional instruction in Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Women's-only Martial Arts, along with weightlifting and cardio equipment. Their mission extends beyond athletics - they empower urban youth through transformative athletic, academic, and employment opportunities. While most martial arts gyms in Boston charge $200+/month, Level Ground keeps classes free for children and teenagers, and affordable for adults. The space supports their comprehensive Student Trainer Program, which provides academic support, workforce development training, and mentorship. Through their programs, they've seen significant impact with increased physical activity among youth participants and successful college transitions for their student trainers.
