Meet Coach Charles

Training since 1989Master in TaekwondoCertified Muay Thai CoachFounder & CEO

Coach Charles Chauca has trained in martial arts since 1989, when he was nine years old and his father enrolled him to build discipline, focus, and confidence. Today he is a Master in Taekwondo, a certified Muay Thai Kickboxing coach, and the founder of Next Level Martial Arts, which he opened in 2006.

He has helped countless students unlock their inner greatness, both on and off the mat. He is proud of the programs he has built, but his most important roles are husband and father. His mission is simple: to develop strong, confident, disciplined people who succeed in every area of life.

Loved by Exeter Township Families

Hundreds of local families recommend Next Level.Here is what just a few of them have to say.

"My son has been going to Next Level Martial Arts now for a little over a year. The instructors are amazing with all the kids. I have seen him grow so much, especially around his determination and focus. We also attended their summer camp program this year and as a result, my daughter joined! It's giving her the confidence in herself, and whatever she sets her mind to, she can accomplish it!"
