Give At-Risk Youth A Fighting Chance


A Fighting Chance is a nonprofit gym in Long Beach that offers free after-school MMA training to at-risk youth, foster youth, and young people in recovery.

Every week, participants receive 6 hours of instruction from qualified coaches  plus access to additional classes throughout the week. More than just training, it’s mentorship, structure, and a safe space where discipline and resilience are built.

It costs $30,000 per year to keep this program running. That covers rent, equipment, and the salaries of professional instructors who make it possible. For the kids, it’s all free. For many, it’s life-changing.

With your support, we can continue to provide young people with the tools, confidence, and community they need to thrive.
