Why the teens program is different
Real training. Built for teens.
Most academies treat teens like older kids or younger adults, and both are wrong. Kids classes feel babyish. Adult classes feel awkward — a room full of strangers twice their age isn't where a teenager belongs. Our teens program is built specifically for the 12–17 range: real technical instruction, real sparring, real progress — in a room where they actually fit.
Every teen in the program can train both Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. That means grappling and striking, ground and stand-up — a full martial arts education, not a specialty. It's rare for an academy to offer both under one membership, and even rarer for teens. That's on purpose.
3 Classes a week, 2 martial arts, 1 price.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Two Jiu Jitsu classes a week focused on positional understanding, controlled sparring, and progressive technique. Teens learn the same fundamentals our adults do — adapted to their age and pace — building a real grappling game over time.
MUAY THAI KICKBOXING
One Muay Thai class each Saturday brings stand-up striking into the mix — stance, footwork, kicks, knees, elbows, and clinch work. Controlled instruction, no full-contact sparring for teens — the goal is skill development and confidence, not fights.
For Parents
Safesport Certified. The right room.
We are the only SafeSport certified BJJ academy in Philadelphia. That means every coach on our staff has completed formal training in safe environments, appropriate boundaries, and how to work with minors — and we're audited on it.
For teens specifically, that translates to: dedicated class times with other teens (no mixing with adults), coaches trained specifically for this age group, and a clear structure your teen will actually respect.

What teens actually get out of it
The stuff that lasts.
01 • Body
Coordination, balance, timing, and control of their own body under pressure. The kind of physical intelligence you can't get from team sports alone.
Real physical
literacy.
02 • Mind
Jiu Jitsu especially rewards patient, strategic thinking under stress. Teens learn to stay calm when things go sideways — a skill that transfers everywhere.
Focus and
problem solving.
03 • Heart
The teen crew trains together, learns together, and progresses together. It's a different kind of friendship than school or team sports — built through shared work.
A real community.
One membership, no long term commitments.
