Our Beginning
Levels BJJ was born from a vision sparked by opportunity and realized through hard work and determination. When an abrupt shutdown of an academy arose, the vision for a new home to allow a local Jiu Jitsu family to stay together formed. The founders of Levels wanted to fight for the survival of this tight-knit group so their teammates could avoid searching for a new gym or discontinuing their training all together.
The idea quickly matured into a new business venture, where their vision could go to an entirely different level. Build a brand new home from the ground up, and quickly, to keep the team together.
The three amigos immersed themselves in the design, renovation, and marketing of the new gym. Days turned into weeks but ensuring the job was done right so their members would be proud to call this gym home. After 42 grueling days of managing various facets of the business and completing an extensive renovation, the vision of Levels had come to life.
"We wanted to share with the world what Jiu Jitsu has shared with us, and that is when you challenge yourself to new heights, the possibilities are endless." – Andy, Esam & Tory
