Tornado University Martial Arts and Mentoring
South Side Help Center
At Tornado University, we believe every young person has the power to be strong in body, mind, and spirit. Our Martial Arts and Mentoring Program combines traditional martial arts training with life skills, discipline, and leadership development.
Youth ages 6–15 learn focus, respect, and confidence through hands-on instruction and guided mentorship. Each class teaches self-defense techniques, teamwork, and the importance of perseverance—while also encouraging positive decision-making in school, at home, and in the community.
Our caring mentors provide consistent support, helping students set personal goals, build character, and channel their energy in healthy, productive ways. Tornado University isn’t just about kicks and punches—it’s about preparing youth to face life’s challenges with confidence, focus, and self-respect.
