The Next Level was founded by Jason Brinn in the latter part of 1996 in an effort to better serve a growing group of personal martial arts students.  Over the next few years The Next Level and Jason Brinn were exclusively focused on personal fitness and self defense instruction.  During this time Jason Brinn and The Next Level innovatively created new and dynamic methods and tool sets that brought forth fast and highly effective results in both of these arenas.

After a few years The Next Level, at Jason Brinn's request, started focusing more on the processes and methods conceptually of how they were coming to the results and finding incremental ways to improve those results.  With this new direction the decision was made to broaden the scope of the company and open it up to a select group of disciplines and interests that were inherited from the members of the group.

As a result of this paradigm shift The Next Level became more of a journey for each person involved on an intimate level and less of a business dedicated to some specific end.  Quickly, The Next Level and Jason Brinn started expanding their reach to many different disciplines.

In an effort to bring the level of results documented with The Next Level's approaches and methods in teaching personal fitness and self defense to each and every discipline now engaged at The Next Level Jason Brinn decided to make a format change overall.

And so the birth of The Next Level Companies, LLC came about in order to "house" the many new and varying divisions of the re-structured company on June 23rd 2008.  Since this date the company has seen phenomenal growth and has been part of many great endeavors.
