MMA Youth Program Kicks Back Bullying
Top Flight Mixed Martial Arts offers an anti-bullying program for children.
Top Flight MMA instructor Ron Stallings believes a problem with the youth today is a lack of confidence, which can make them vulnerable to bullying.
For the past five years, Stallings has been teaching children mixed martial arts at Top Flight MMA to help them prevent bullying, feel motivated and build strength.
"A lot of kids don't have the confidence to believe in themselves and really are oblivious to the potential they have," said Stallings. "They look to other areas to try to identify with and sometimes it's negative things."
Jordan Stewart, 13, is a first year student at Top Flight MMA. He says he would spend time at home watching television before joining the program.
"They have inspired me to do new things that I never thought I would accomplish," said Stewart.

I have a child in this program who has excelled tremendously here with Ron and the great staff of instructors. She was a very quiet and shy child and would be picked at by other kids. She is now outgoing and full of life. The positive impact has shown itself in all areas. She now has the confidence and self motivation to do anything. Thank you Ron

Im a 24 year old receptionist who in the past has not enjoyed working out, but I am training at Top Flight and I have learned so much!!! From losing weight to pushing myself to work harder, Top Flight has changed not only my physical appearance, but me as a person!!! Ronald Stallings and the other Top Flight instructors are experts at pushing you past your limit, and at motivating you to be the absolute best you can be!!! I'm telling everyone I know to come to Top Flight, because IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

My daughter and son attend Top flight MMA and love it.They have grown and love learning, the instructors are great and always willing to stay after a few min extra to answer questions or show something again. They just really care about the kids they work with.I would and do recommend them to all my friends and family or anyone who wants to get their kids into something great.

My son attends Top Flight and has grown as an individual since attending the class session under Ron and his instructors. Since the beginning the school has had my son pushing his abilities and striving for that 1% improvement everyday. We find ourselves setting goals and once they have been reached turning to find the next adventure(goal)..i personal thank everyone involved in the training and managing of the school that gave Jordan a place that is not only for great training but makes you feel at home and with family.
