About our Coach
Levi Skidmore has been involved in combat sports for over 40 years, beginning with wrestling at a young age. Over the years, his training expanded to include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, and Muay Thai, both as an athlete and a coach.
Since founding Darkhorse in 2010, he has dedicated himself to helping students of all ages and experience levels develop their skills, confidence, and discipline through martial arts.
In addition to leading Darkhorse, Levi serves as a local head wrestling coach and has coached athletes at both the amateur and professional levels. His lifelong passion for MMA and commitment to teaching have made him a respected coach and mentor within the martial arts community.
His goal at Darkhorse is to create a family-friendly, no-ego environment where students can build their skills, confidence, and discipline while developing a genuine passion for martial arts.
Whether you're here to learn self-defense, get in better shape, compete, or simply try something new, Darkhorse is the place to train, learn, and improve. We welcome beginners and experienced athletes alike.
