LVLUP Martial Arts - East Madison

"The LVLUP experience is one that can change the trajectory of you or your children’s lives. The lessons learned here will instill focus and clarity in all aspects of your life and the skill you learn will increase confidence, capability, and overall physicality in class or in your daily life. As someone who practiced martial arts as a kid, I can tell you that the lessons your children will learn will stick with them for life, and will benefit them in their social lives and careers. Ms. Nikki is a skilled and exciting instructor and is a joy to be around. LVLUP benefited our family immediately, and is the most positive community in the planet!"

"I cannot say enough amazing things able Nikki as instructor she has taught both of our boys and my husband. She encouraged my oldest to try tournaments and as he found and developed a passion for tournament sport karate has been in his corner the entire time. Our youngest started at four and she has always take the extra time to make sure that he was able to compete the tasks to the best of his ability while always encouraging him to take that next step to better his karate and himself. I have watched her handle classes with difficulty student without ever missing a beat or slowing the class down. Any student that enters her classes is so lucky to have her. She encourages her kiddos to do there very best and will always meet them where they are and with what they need. Level up East Madison is very lucky to have her."

"Ms. Frydenlund is the most skilled, supportive, inclusive, and fun instructor we’ve had. Me and my 2 children trained with her from white belts all the way up to 1st degree black belts. She always made learning fun while pushing us to the next level. Most importantly, Ms. Frydenlund taught me and my children many life skills, such as respect, perseverance, confidence, self defense, and self discipline. We are forever grateful for her. ❤️"

"While we've not had the pleasure of attending LVLUP, we certainly have plenty of experience with Nikki Frydenlund, instructor. Nikki is a qualified, talented, compassionate instructor who values her students. She has continually encouraged my son to grow outside of his comfort zone, while simultaneously making him feel completely safe and competent in any activity. We had the extreme pleasure of her instruction from 2017 through 2023, during which my son obtained his first degree black belt (and he is now the final months before second degree). I can say with confidence that she absolutely changed my and my son's life for the better through her strength, knowledge and compassion. She is a unique and genuine human who can certainly make a difference with anyone she instructs."

"We cannot say enough good things about LVLUP. Our son has been practicing martial arts for just over 2 years now (started at 4 1/2) and his growth physically, mentally and emotionally is incredible! Outside of learning moves and forms, there is teachings of confidence, discipline, focus, respect, belief and so much more! Every student (young and old) is given the opportunity to learn and grow on their timeline and at their level. While martial arts is largely a personal sport there is always a sense of team at LVLUP. The community at LVLUP is simply amazing. There are lots of families that train together, but also a huge sense of community off the mats. Highly recommend LVLUP to everyone!"
