Ross Levine

Brooklyn-born Ross "TURBO" Levine's first experience in martial arts was in the Kang System of Taekwondo. This system holds a special place in Turbo's heart, having 3 generations of his family training in the system. He would transition to competing in American Sport Karate with the help of instructors like Jadi Tention. He would win the Warrior Cup multiple times, win two Diamond National rings, and eventually earn his 4th Degree Black Belt under Sensei Tention. He came to Karate Combat by way of an undefeated professional kickboxing career that was sidelined due to promotional restraints caused by the coronavirus pandemic. He's the proud owner of one of 2019's most impressive KOs, widely recognized as the best head-kick knockout of that year. Ross defeated Shahin Atamov on June 25, 2022 to become Karate Combat's Middleweight Champion. When he's not fighting, he is helping martial artists using his Doctorate of Physical Therapy through his Turbo Sports Performance program or coaching the next generation of Karate Combat fighters at Pride Martial Arts in Rhode Island.
