At A Fighting Chance, our upscale gym offers our participants a premium and specialized training experience, catering to their specialized training needs. The facility features custom-made bags and mats, designed for different punches, along with a comprehensive inventory of weights, pads, bands, skipping ropes, and custom gloves.<\/p>\n
Through the leadership of professional fighter Chase Gibson, and in partnership with Jenni\u2019s Flowers, our program is specially designed to provide a life-changing MMA learning experience for at-risk youth in LA County. The program follows a structured curriculum that emphasizes holistic development, nurturing the mind and body by instilling essential life skills that will have a positive impact on their future and education. <\/p>\n
Through our year-round programs, we offer tools that strengthen educational performance, and promote fitness and health, addiction prevention and rehabilitation, and mental wellness; while promoting diversity and inclusion through multilingual (English, Spanish, Russian, and Serbian) programming. Our program offers foundational basics, conceptual understanding, and gradual development, guiding participants as they progress throughout their educational journey and prospective MMA career.<\/p>\n
We service approximately 500-650 participants each year, with many of our participants coming from our partnering organizations including Dangerfield Institute of Urban Problems, Awakening Recovery, Living Now Recovery, West Wind Recovery, Monarch Recovery Sober Living, Dream Catcher’s Foundation, The Better Fight Fund, and Cando. <\/p>\n
We are committed to inclusivity. Our outreach and services are designed to be culturally appropriate and engage diverse communities, including Indigenous and Transgender. We service approximately 70 percent of people of color, to foster a sense of belonging and empowerment for participants.<\/p>\n
Our efforts address the economic challenges faced by the community, as we acknowledge the impact of poverty on children’s physical, emotional, and behavioral health, emphasizing the need for interventions to support their educational attainment and social-emotional growth. <\/p>\n
