01 — What we teach

One academy, seven martial arts

Level Up is more than an MMA gym. Each discipline runs with its own rules, its own gradings and its own competition circuit — from the beginner batch through to the state and national squads.

01

Mixed Martial Arts

Striking, grappling and clinch work together. Conditioning-heavy sessions, controlled sparring only.

Traditional kihon, kata and kumite, with belt gradings. The academy's strongest competition stream.

Taekwondo

Speed, kicking range and footwork. Regular state-level squad participation.

Throws, breakfalls and ground control — the best confidence builder for older children.

02 — The pathway

From beginner batch to the national mat

Not every child comes here to compete, and that is fine. But for those who want to go further the route is clear, and the academy sends squads to district, state and national events every season.

STEP 01

Beginner batch

Basics, discipline and fitness. No experience needed, and the first class is free.

STEP 02

District competition

The academy is linked to Korba's district Karate-Do and Taekwondo associations, so local events come around regularly.

STEP 03

State championship

Selected athletes compete at Chhattisgarh state events in Raipur, Bilaspur and beyond.

STEP 04

National & beyond

State medalists qualify for the national rounds. The academy's own coaching team carries international-level credentials.

Karate · Independence Cup 202529
