   Hardcore Fitness Training Center, in partnership with Parents and You, are deeply committed to unleash the positive energy of low-income young people to rebuild their communities and their own lives with a commitment to work, education, responsibility and family.

   We believe that ALL students can learn life changing skills and confidence through goal setting and positive supervision. With YOUR support, our youth will have the opportunity and the tools needed to succeed and hold themselves to a higher standard.

   Brandon Shuey, MMA Head Coach at Hardcore Fitness Training Facility has been fighting professionally for nearly 18 years. He holds 3 world titles, and being the only fighter in Idaho to ever win the IFC (International Fighting Championships) world titles. He decided to share his extensive knowledge of Mixed Martial Arts and began training a small group of students in his garage in 2003. In 2006 as his team grew and the reputation of his teaching spread, he decided to officially open a gym and create an elite fight team. This was the birth of Team Hardcore. Team Hardcore is known throughout the Pacific Northwest as one of the most successful MMA programs in Idaho.

   Brandon knows first hand how positive mentorship and Martial Arts can affect a child's life, if it was not for these two things his life may have taken a very different path. So As Brandon continued to build his team, he started to develop a children's Martial Arts program, and it was not long after that Brandon noticed an absolute need to make his program accessible to the at risk youth in our community. This was the drive to begin "Champion A Child".

    We have seen an incredible amount of success with the youth in our program because of the values we teach and work by. Compassion by demonstrating concern and acting with a spirit of respect and generosity towards others. Integrity by acting with honesty and being accountable for their decisions and actions. Excellence in being their best self, pursuing greatness in their actions, and living a healthy, active and balanced life. Inclusion and diversity by valuing and working to create a team building representatives of our society that support and respect differences. While simutaneously instilling a confidence unmatched by anything thing else, to build true champions.
