From Humble Beginnings to a Thriving Fighter and coach
Coach Kane started training with no background in self defense, fighting or martial arts. He has pushed himself from a beginner to a champion fighter with an undefeated record. He takes that same intensity to push all students to be far more than they expect from themselves…

Coach Kane started Next Level Striking to train beginners in boxing and self defense to become capable fighters. He’s serious about training hard and getting students in the best shape of their lives.
Kane Wade is an amateur boxing champion, Coach and Mentor to all his students. After taking a few classes at a local MMA gym years ago… he immediately took to it. His passion for it resulted in him going full time almost immediately. He was either training or teaching all day every day, with side jobs to earn income when classes weren’t being taught. He rose quickly due to his natural talent and love for the sport. While he is proficient in wrestling and grappling, his specialty became striking.
As he excelled in MMA striking, many students came to him to grow in their boxing and kickboxing technique. Over time, he has trained dozens of beginners to be able to obtain enough technique to defend themselves on the street.
His students have also lost weight, while also becoming faster, stronger, healthier and more balanced. Older students find themselves becoming more flexible and achieving greater balance to avoid injuries and have the tenacity to go through life like those many years younger than themselves.
Younger students range from those seeking to become stronger and do something interesting, to those who compete in local fighting competitions.
Having spent many years teaching before opening his own school, Kane has learned to help everyone from all levels. Women feel absolutely comfortable training at his gym since they know they can grow in their skills without worrying about injury. New students don’t feel “on the outside” because he has them train on different drills and techniques as they work their way up over time.
