TRAIN HARD.
STAY HUMBLE.
LEVEL UP.
Mixed Martial Arts, Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, Judo, Ju-Jitsu and self-defence — for children, teenagers and adults. Coaching that builds discipline first, medals after.
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.
Mixed Martial Arts
Striking, grappling and clinch work together. Conditioning-heavy sessions, controlled sparring only.
Teens & adultsKarate
Traditional kihon, kata and kumite, with belt gradings. The academy's strongest competition stream.
Age 5+Taekwondo
Speed, kicking range and footwork. Regular state-level squad participation.
Age 5+Boxing
Stance, guard, pad rounds and bag work. Good for fitness, good for the ring.
Age 10+Judo
Throws, breakfalls and ground control — the best confidence builder for older children.
Age 8+Ju-Jitsu
Close-range control, escapes and submissions. Less about size and strength, more about technique.
Age 10+Self-defence
Short practical courses covering awareness, escapes and simple counters. Special batches for girls and school groups.
All agesFitness & conditioning
Strength, mobility and cardio — alongside martial arts training or on its own.
Adults
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.
Beginner batch
Basics, discipline and fitness. No experience needed, and the first class is free.
District competition
The academy is linked to Korba's district Karate-Do and Taekwondo associations, so local events come around regularly.
State championship
Selected athletes compete at Chhattisgarh state events in Raipur, Bilaspur and beyond.
National & beyond
State medalists qualify for the national rounds. The academy's own coaching team carries international-level credentials.
Medals won by Level Up athletes at the state-level Karate championship in Raipur, 26–27 July 2025. Seven athletes then qualified for the national round at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi.
Thirteen athletes sent to a state-level Taekwondo championship, thirteen came back with medals — under coach Sneha Banjare and manager Ayush Nirala. A separate 20th state championship in Bilaspur took a 17-athlete squad.
Sneha Banjare, senior −68 kg. She reached the final after beating opponents from 11 countries and was reported as the only woman from Chhattisgarh in the Indian contingent.
Competition results as reported in regional press coverage of the academy. Full result sheets available on request.
