An Outlet That Actually Matters

The teen years are when kids need a real outlet — something more substantial than a screen, more structured than free time. Our Teens program gives them a serious discipline, a genuine community, and a place to build real identity outside of school and social media.

🔥

A Real Screen-Time Replacement

An hour where their phone is in a cubby and their full attention is on something physical and demanding.

🫂

Genuine Community

Training partners who see them several times a week, working toward shared goals — the kind of belonging that's hard to find at 14.

🎓

Mentorship From Real Coaches

Our coaches build relationships with teen students that extend beyond technique — discipline, respect, and accountability.

🥊

Functional, Tested Skills

Live training against resisting partners means the self-defense skills they build are genuinely battle-tested, not theoretical.

Why Teens Thrive on the Mats

The teenage years come with pressure from every direction — school, social media, peers. Jiu jitsu gives teens something most of their world doesn't: a place where respect is earned through effort, where phones stay off, and where progress is measured in skill, not likes. Our Teens program (ages 13–16) trains alongside the same 10th Planet system our adults learn, scaled to developing bodies and minds.

Teens build serious physical fitness here — strength, conditioning, flexibility, and coordination — without it ever feeling like a workout routine. They're too busy learning to submit each other to notice they're getting in the best shape of their lives. And the mental side is just as real: problem solving under pressure, emotional control, and the quiet confidence that comes from tested ability.

What Teen Classes Look Like

Every class opens with a dynamic warmup built for grappling, then moves into technique instruction — real 10th Planet no-gi jiu jitsu: guard work, passing, submissions, escapes, and the positional chess that makes this art endlessly engaging. Then comes drilling and controlled live rounds, where teens apply techniques against resisting partners under close coach supervision.

Our coaches hold teens to an adult standard of mat etiquette and effort while keeping the environment positive and ego-free. Beginners train safely alongside more experienced teens — the culture here is that advanced students help bring up the newer ones, not the other way around.

Self-Defense That Actually Works

Let's be direct: most "self-defense" taught to teens has never been tested. Jiu jitsu is tested every single class, against people who are genuinely trying to stop you. Your teen will learn how to control a confrontation, escape bad positions, and stay calm when it matters — skills that work regardless of size or strength, because leverage beats muscle every time.

The first class is free. No-gi means no uniform to buy — athletic wear is all they need. Contact us or call +1 (951) 708-6644 to get your teen on the mats. Students join us from Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, and Canyon Lake, French Valley, and Winchester.

Program FAQs

Yes. Every class is supervised, partners are matched appropriately, and technique is taught with safety as the foundation. Teens learn control before intensity — that's the culture of our mats.

Jiu jitsu rewards technique and consistency, not raw athleticism. Some of our best teen students started out convinced they 'weren't athletic.' The mat doesn't care where you start — only that you show up.

Comfortable athletic clothes — t-shirt and shorts or leggings. No-gi means no uniform purchase required to begin.

Dramatically. Teens who train carry themselves differently, and that alone deters most bullying situations. Beyond that, they develop real, tested self-defense ability and the composure to de-escalate.
