WHAT YOUR TEEN WILL GAIN

CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE & SAFE SELF-DEFENSE SKILLS

Teens learn how to defuse and control physical conflict without resorting to strikes like punches or kicks. By mastering leverage, balance, and positional control, they gain the ability to restrain larger or stronger aggressors safely. This gives them the practical tools to protect themselves effectively while better insulating themselves from the risks and consequences of zero-tolerance school policies and legal standards.

PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE

Grappling builds a well-rounded athletic base from the ground up that traditional workouts often miss. Students build real functional strength, joint flexibility, core stability, and endurance. This keeps them fit, agile, and resilient—improving their overall health while reducing the risk of injuries in day-to-day life and other sports.

FUNCTIONAL ATHLETICS

Grappling is often called physical chess because every move requires thought and timing. Teens learn to stay calm under physical pressure, evaluate fast-changing situations quickly, and work through problems step-by-step. This sharpens their focus and builds a level of mental toughness that helps them handle school stress, exams, and everyday challenges with composure.

FOCUS & PROBLEM-SOLVING

Our mat culture is built on mutual respect, hard work, and shared accountability. Teens train alongside supportive peers and experienced coaches who hold high standards while encouraging every student to reach their personal best. It provides a healthy social outlet away from screens where teens build strong, positive friendships.

POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT

Real progress on the mat cannot be faked—it takes consistency, active listening, and honest effort. Teens experience the direct reward of hard work over time as they master new skills. This process develops strong daily habits, self-discipline, and a genuine, earned confidence in their own abilities that stays with them for life.

DISCIPLINE & SELF-RELIANCE

TEEN MARTIAL ARTS IN WINDSOR

The teenage years come with unique challenges—academic pressure, intense social dynamics, and relentless screen-time. Our Teen Martial Arts program offers a positive outlet where teens can unplug and unwind, build physical and mental strength, and develop real confidence.

Our teen curriculum (ages 12-17) focuses exclusively on control-based grappling—specifically Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling. In today’s school and legal climate, strict “zero-tolerance” and hands-off policies mean that throwing punches or escalation often leads to severe consequences, regardless of who started it. Grappling provides a practical, non-violent approach to self-defence. Teens learn how to manage distance, neutralize aggression, and safely control an opponent without having to throw a single punch.

Safe and Structured Training

Every class follows a clear structure to keep teens safe, engaged, and learning:

Warm-Up: Simple movements to warm up muscles and get ready for training.
Technique Lesson: The coach breaks down a specific movement step-by-step.
Partner Drills: Students practice movements with a partner in a controlled way.
Supervised Practice: Teens try out their techniques in supervised training scenarios at a safe speed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When are the classes, and does my teen need prior experience?

Classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Beginners are welcome. Our coaches guide every student at their own pace, whether it’s their very first day or they’ve trained before.

What should my teen wear to class?

Simple athletic clothes without zippers or pockets (like workout shorts/sweatpants and a t-shirt). Training is done barefoot on clean mats.

Why focus on grappling only?

We intentionally defer striking instruction, such as kickboxing, until students reach age 16. In our experience, younger teens are still developing both the physical capacity and the emotional maturity required to practice striking safely and responsibly. Prior to age 16, our curriculum focuses exclusively on control-based grappling (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling). This foundation teaches youth how to manage physical conflict through leverage, balance, and restraint—maximizing personal safety on the mats while ensuring they possess the judgment and emotional discipline needed before ever introducing high-impact techniques.

If my Teen is 16, can they get the Adult membership and attend the striking classes as well?

Yes, if your teen is 16, they can get the adult membership and attend the striking classes as well. Many of our teenaged members attend the Teen classes for their grappling instruction, and the adult kickboxing classes to learn striking.
