Teens Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a dedicated grappling program for teenagers that builds confidence, fitness, and real skills — in a team-focused environment. Training is structured and safe, with a big emphasis on control, respectful partner work, and learning how to handle pressure.

It’s a great fit for teens who want to challenge themselves, learn something meaningful, and be part of a positive group.

What teens will learn

• Fundamental BJJ positions and movements

• Escapes from common holds and controlling positions

• Balance, coordination, and body awareness

• Decision-making and problem-solving under pressure

• How to train safely and respectfully with partners

Who this program is for

Teens BJJ is open to all experience levels — complete beginners are welcome, and experienced teens will still be challenged.

This program is a great fit for teens who:

• Want more confidence and discipline

• Enjoy learning skills in a clear, structured way

• Prefer training with people their own age

• Are interested in self-defence, fitness, or long-term progression

How classes work

Classes follow a consistent format: technique taught step by step, drilling for reps, then controlled partner work. Coaches keep a close eye on training so intensity stays appropriate for experience and maturity level.

Teens are encouraged to ask questions, work at a steady pace, and build skills over time — no rushing, no ego.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my teen need experience to start?
No. Many teens start with no martial arts background. The class is beginner-friendly while still challenging experienced students.

Will my teen be training with adults?
No. Teens train in a dedicated class with others their own age. This helps create a comfortable learning environment and ensures training intensity is appropriate.

Is it mostly self-defence or sport?
Both. Teens learn real self-defence fundamentals, plus the sport side of grappling and competition options (if they want it).

What should my teen wear?
For the free trial: t-shirt and shorts/leggings are great. If they continue, we’ll help with getting them a uniform (gi).

Will there be sparring?
Live training is introduced gradually and in a controlled manner. Sparring is a regular part of Teens BJJ class, introduced progressively and closely supervised. Teens take part at an appropriate level for their experience.

How does BJJ help with confidence?
They learn how to stay calm under pressure, solve problems, and improve week to week — it carries over to school and life.
