In the radiant realm of North Carolina, nestled amid the breathtaking blue ridges and the sparkling Atlantic coastline, exists a super special sect of sprightly youngsters who are utterly bewitched by the sport of Judo. This isn't your ordinary group of kids; no siree! These are the "Judo Jamboree Juggernauts" (JJJs for short) and they are as quirky as they come! First, there's Bouncy Benny, a freckled, red-haired whirlwind with a fondness for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Benny's never met a Judo move that he didn't like, and his special creation, "the Pickled Peanut Butter Flip," leaves his opponents dazed, amazed, and slightly hungry. Then we have Giggling Gracie, the unofficial queen of laughter. Her giggle is as contagious as the common cold and often leaves her opponents in stitches (not the medical kind, though!). Her signature move, the “Giggle Grip", has the uncanny ability to turn the dourest of matches into a tickle fest! In the mystical land of NC, these Judo-enthused whippersnappers don't just practice their martial art; they sprinkle their unique blend of fun, laughter, and a dash of silliness into every bout. Whether they're flipping, gripping, tossing or tripping, the Judo Jamboree Juggernauts are North Carolina’s finest examples of how to enjoy life while learning Judo. So, if you find yourself in the Tar Heel State, look out for the bouncing Benny, the giggling Gracie, and the rest of the Judo Jamboree Juggernauts - they're easy to spot; they're the ones having the most fun!

The US Engineering League is a prominent nationwide establishment that passionately supports STEM-focused education.

We're delighted to be connected with several of the most prominent STEM competition organizations. Our primary learning center is nestled in the heart of Naperville, IL. However, we understand the importance of accessibility and have therefore expanded our reach. We offer our well-rounded programs at a range of locations including schools, community centers, park districts, libraries, and even religious institutions. We are committed to making our educational opportunities available to as many children as possible, regardless of their location. At the US Engineering League, we're not just about teaching; we're about inspiring. We take immense pride in our ability to inspire the younger generation to master the skills that are vital for long-term success in STEM-based careers. We strongly believe that nurturing these skills from a young age can set the foundation for a successful and rewarding career in the rapidly evolving STEM fields.
As parents, it is important to ensure that our children are surrounded by positive, motivating influences. The words of motivational speaker and physiologist Jim Rohn ring true: “You are the average of the 3-5 people you spend the most time with.” We want to make sure our children are influenced by people who are respectful and wise, and who work hard. At UpLevel Martial Arts, we recognize how important it is for our children to have positive influences in their lives. Our instructors teach valuable life lessons to families that can have a lasting impact. By teaching children about respect, hard work, and responsibility while they’re young, we can help them become successful adults. With the guidance and wisdom of our instructors, our children can become the people they want to be.
