Gracie Teens is our teen martial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program for ages 13 to 17 in Gilbert, AZ, with classes Monday through Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Teenagers are capable of far more than they give themselves credit for. They're constantly pressured by society and their social circles to act and be a certain way. Martial arts helps them find their own way, and become confidently themselves.
The teenage years decide a lot. Who they think they are, what they'll tolerate, and whether they believe they can handle hard things. Most of that gets settled long before they leave home.
On our mat, a teen finds out exactly what they're made of, and it's almost always more than they thought. They learn to stay calm when someone bigger is applying pressure, which is a lesson that reaches far past self-defense. And they find a room full of people who push them without judging them.
Authentic Gracie Humaita Jiu-Jitsu and real-world Krav Maga concepts. Not demo moves. Techniques that have been pressure-tested and actually work when someone is bigger than you.
Someone heavier is on top of you and you have to think clearly anyway. Learn to do that and a hard conversation, an exam, or a job interview stops feeling like much.
The mat doesn't care how they feel that day. They warm up, they drill, they roll, and they come back Tuesday. Do that through the teenage years and discipline stops being a decision.
Strength, cardio, flexibility, and endurance, earned through training instead of a treadmill. Most teens are in the best shape of their lives within months.
No cliques, no phones, no social media performance. Just a room of people who show up and push each other. For a lot of teens, that's the part that changes everything.
No gi, no gear, no experience. Just comfortable clothes and a willingness to try something new.
A coach pairs them with a training partner who'll look after them and walks them through the technique. Nobody gets embarrassed here.
Your 14 days for $14 gives them two full weeks. Teens are hard to fool, so let the mat make the case.
The easiest way to find out if this is your teen's thing. No pressure, no long-term commitment.
Not at all. Most of our teens walk in with none. They're taught at their own pace, alongside people who started exactly where they are.
Real self-defense, primarily Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which lets a smaller person defend against a bigger, stronger one. Along the way they get serious conditioning and a lot of confidence.
It's the most common thing parents tell us. Confidence they earned surviving hard rounds is different from confidence someone told them to have. It sticks.
Yes. Classes are supervised and built around control. Teens learn to train hard and take care of their partners at the same time.
As they mature and progress, many of our teens do cross into adult classes. We'll make that call together with you when they're ready.
Two to three times a week is where teens really start to see change, in skill and in themselves.
Two weeks. Fourteen dollars. Let the mat do the talking.
