About Our School
At Level 10 Martial Arts College, we believe martial arts is more than kicks and punches—it’s a path to building stronger minds, healthier bodies, and unshakable character. Founded in 1995 by Grandmaster James Theros (8th-degree black belt), Level 10 has been a trusted name in martial arts training for over 30 years. With locations in Palm Harbor, Florida and Indianapolis, Indiana, our schools have helped thousands of children, teens, and adults discover their full potential through the time-tested traditions of martial arts.
Our programs are designed to meet students where they are—whether that’s a child learning confidence and focus, a teen building discipline and leadership, or an adult improving fitness, flexibility, and peace of mind. From our Tiny Tigers (ages 3-4) and Children’s Programs (ages 5-12) to our Teen & Adult Classes, every student experiences a curriculum that develops respect, focus, and discipline while also being fun, safe, and engaging.
We’re proud to offer specialized programs such as our Black Belt Club and Leadership Program, giving students opportunities to push themselves further, set ambitious goals, and grow into leaders both inside and outside the dojo. Our innovative SkillSync Curriculum rotates through Karate, Kickboxing, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, and Hapkido, ensuring students gain a well-rounded martial arts education while staying challenged and inspired.
At Level 10, we don’t just train martial artists—we help shape future leaders. Our students learn that success isn’t about being the best; it’s about becoming better than they were yesterday. That mindset has created a thriving community of families who support, encourage, and celebrate each other’s growth.
When you walk into Level 10 Martial Arts College, you’re not just joining a school—you’re becoming part of a family committed to helping you and your child live a Level 10 Life: one built on respect, focus, discipline, and confidence.
