The Origin Story

Every Hero Has One.
This Is Where Yours Begins.

Every student who walks through our doors is the hero of their own journey. Some come in shy. Some come in scattered. Some come in unsure of who they are or who they want to become.

What they find here isn't just kicks and forms. They find a code to live by. A team that believes in them. And a version of themselves they didn't know existed.

This is more than martial arts. This is the origin story your child will carry for life.

The Hero's Code

The LVLUP 5

The five traits that separate kids who follow from kids who lead. We don't just teach these — we train them into muscle memory, on the mat and in life.

Relentless

The refusal to stop. Whether it's your passion or your work ethic, you are an unstoppable force moving toward the goal.

Disciplined

The mastery of self. You do what needs to be done, own your actions, and maintain the highest standard of conduct.

Honorable

The warrior's code. You treat the mats, your teammates, and your opponents with a baseline of high-level respect and integrity.

Evolvable

The white-belt mindset. You are never finished — always seeking the next level through feedback and constant learning.

Magnetic

The power of your presence. You bring energy that attracts others, lifts the room, and drives the culture forward.

Meet the Founders

Masters Mike & Richelle Moh

Both 6th Degree Black Belts. Both ATA World Champions. Mike and Richelle met as kids through taekwondo — and never stopped training. They founded LVLUP Martial Arts with a simple belief: martial arts changes lives — and the best way to prove it is to live it. Their entire family trains together. All three of their kids are black belts, junior instructors, and champions in their own right.

Beyond the mats, Mike has built a career in Hollywood as a martial artist and actor — from the Jackie Chan Stunt Team to over 30 productions including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (as Bruce Lee), Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, Ghosted, and Blade of the 47 Ronin.
