Next Level Martial Arts states that its mission is to help the community get safer and stronger inside and out. The program serves families from Rockingham County and nearby communities including Harrisonburg, Elkton, Bridgewater, Broadway, Penn Laird, Linville, Lacey Spring, Singers Glen, Timperville, McGaheysville, Shenandoah, Port Republic, Massanutten, Mt Crawford, Dayton, Ottobine, and Weyers Cave. The program describes itself as striving to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere for students and family members, and taking pride in creating an environment for individuals to achieve, develop, and succeed in their personal goals. It states a belief that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or experience level, and that students learn skill sets to protect themselves with a realistic and practical approach.
The program describes its kids martial arts classes as building character, with every class growing focus, discipline, confidence, and respect. Teen martial arts classes are described as growing confidence, discipline, focus, and respect. Adult martial arts classes are described as giving real-world tactics to keep participants safe and as so fun they are “addicting,” with an “amazing community of kind men and women” where “friendships are born in every class.” Adult mixed martial arts classes are described as giving well-rounded self-defense including grappling and striking.
The program states that it transforms kids into leaders full of discipline and focus, and helps adults get fit and safe fast, with fun classes, an “amazing community,” and action-packed martial arts. It states that members see results fast, with a claimed difference in as little as one week, and that fun fitness builds motor skills and coordination while group games and activities grow positive social skills. It also states that caring instructors provide mentorship and guidance. The program uses the phrase “It’s the will. Not the skill.” and describes goals such as building self-discipline regardless of starting fitness or skill level, gaining confidence by stepping out of comfort zones, and improving focus in ways that carry over into other areas of life.
Birthday parties at Next Level Martial Arts are described as awesome and suitable for kids with or without martial arts training. The summer camp is described as having amazing, enthusiastic staff and action-packed games and activities, and the after school program is described as including fun fitness and games along with quiet focus time.
