BJJ For Ages 12yrs to 14yrs

Our Teens BJJ classes provide teenagers with the opportunity to learn one of the most effective martial arts in a structured, supportive setting.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches students how to use leverage and technique to overcome larger opponents, making it an ideal self-defense skill.  Whether teens are looking to compete, improve their fitness, or just learn practical self-defense, BJJ offers a unique and rewarding challenge.

What your teen will learn in Teens BJJ Classes

  • Grappling techniques and submissions
  • Positional control and escapes
  • How to use leverage and timing to defeat stronger opponents
  • Mental toughness, focus, and problem-solving under pressure

BJJ helps teens build resilience, discipline, and respect for others, while also improving their physical fitness and self-defense abilities.

BJJ has its own in-built grading system to give teens a systemized progression system. Our coaches provide hands-on instruction and personalized feedback to help every student improve at their own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am new to BJJ will the teens class be ok for me?

Yes, our teens BJJ classes are beginner friendly, and we keep a good teacher to student ratio, with one head coach and 1 assistant depending on the numbers in the class.

Often we will split the beginners away to one side of the class so that they can receive more specific instruction to their training level.

The teens BJJ class at The Fight Centre specifically is designed to fit in well with the rest of our teens program, so the trainers designated to this class are well equipped to work with teens that are new to the sport.

Is BJJ like wrestling?

BJJ is a grappling sport that takes place on the ground as two opponents attempt to put each other into a submission to complete the match.  Without the submission, points can also be gained from different techniques executed during the match.

In wrestling there is a lot of stand up grappling, and each opponent tries to ‘take down’ the other and pin them for 3 seconds, where both shoulders of your opponent need to be on the mat for 3 seconds.

People that compete in either BJJ or Wrestling often cross-train both, and in our teens BJJ class you will learn valuable techniques for both sports.

Should I train BJJ if I want to learn MMA?

Teens who are fans of the UFC, or other popular MMA promotions, will be familiar with how often BJJ is used by athletes in a MMA cage.

At TFC we teach specific MMA grappling classes, but any student who wants to compete in MMA should be training all stand up striking sports and grappling sports.

Do I need to have a BJJ Gi?

You will see on our timetable that BJJ classes are dedicated either Gi or No Gi classes.  If you do not have a Gi or do not wish to train Gi, then you would only attend the No Gi classes.

However, a BJJ Gi is required to grade in BJJ, so to attend grading and to be eligible to grade you must be wearing a Gi.

We have our own TFC branded BJJ Gi that you can find in our online store here.
