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.
