MEET JOHNNY HUGHES | FOUNDER
With 24 years of experience in boxing and MMA, I have dedicated my career to training and mentoring athletes at both entry and professional levels. As the Founder and Owner of North County MMA and Ultimate Fitness, I provide specialized coaching in multiple disciplines, working with elite fighters while also developing the next generation of talent. My ultimate goal is to create opportunities for our community and its youth, ensuring they have access to the training, mentorship, and support necessary to reach their full potential both physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

LET’S CONNECT.
The goal at NYF is to empower Indigenous youth by providing positive athletic and educational experiences to better their chance of being successful in life. We provide that experience through sports seminars and other forms of counseling and advice from professional and Indigenous athletes and speakers, all free of charge. We challenge the status quo and use exercise and education as ways to improve themselves and work towards healthy and positive choices.
