Spotlight Story:Level 10 Martial Arts College Beech Grove, IN

Meet Matthew Tucher, the Head Instructor at Level 10 Martial Arts College.Matthew began his martial arts training at just 13 years old after taking classes in an after school program. “I moved schools a few times in my youth, and that led to being the new kid in class. I wasn’t very social either which made me a prime target for bullies. I never had the courage or confidence to stand up for myself”.

With renewed confidence through training, Matthew earned increasing opportunities for leadership and teaching. He now runs the school with his wife, Ashley Tucher, Program Director, who also trained in the school.
