Teen Program (Ages 13-16)
At Companhia Paulista de Jiu-Jitsu, our Teen Program is specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of students aged 13 to 16. This is a crucial time in a young person's development, and our program is designed to provide both physical and mental challenges that help teens grow into confident, disciplined, and focused individuals. With nearly 40 years of experience, we offer a structured environment where teens can develop their Jiu-Jitsu skills, build self-confidence, and learn life lessons that will guide them into adulthood.
Advanced Jiu-Jitsu Techniques and Physical Conditioning
As students progress through the Teen Program, they are introduced to more advanced Jiu-Jitsu techniques, building upon the fundamentals they have learned in earlier years. These 60-minute classes focus on refining skills such as submissions, transitions, guard passing, and positional control, while introducing strategies that require higher levels of critical thinking and problem-solving.
In addition to technique, the program places a strong emphasis on physical conditioning. Teens will work on improving their strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination, ensuring that they are physically prepared for more competitive scenarios. The goal is to build well-rounded athletes who are capable of excelling in both Jiu-Jitsu and other areas of their lives.
Mental Resilience and Personal Growth
This program is not just about the physical aspects of Jiu-Jitsu. We place a significant emphasis on mental resilience and personal growth. The challenges teens face on the mats—whether during sparring, drilling, or competition—teach them how to handle adversity, remain focused under pressure, and push beyond their limits.
Our instructors guide students to think critically and strategically, helping them develop problem-solving skills that are applicable both on and off the mats. By fostering an environment of discipline, respect, and teamwork, we equip teens with the tools they need to navigate the challenges of adolescence with confidence and composure.
Developing Leadership and Character
At Companhia Paulista de Jiu-Jitsu, we believe in cultivating not just strong athletes but strong leaders. Our Teen Program encourages students to take on leadership roles within the academy, helping newer students, assisting in classes, and setting a positive example for their peers. This leadership experience helps teens develop responsibility, accountability, and the ability to work well within a team.
Through the practice of Jiu-Jitsu, teens also build character. They learn the importance of perseverance, patience, and respect for others—qualities that will serve them well throughout their lives. By embracing the values of Jiu-Jitsu, students become more disciplined, responsible, and self-assured individuals.
Preparation for Competition and Beyond
For those interested in competition, our Teen Program provides the perfect foundation. We prepare students for the competitive world of Jiu-Jitsu with focused training sessions, sparring practice, and a deep understanding of competition rules and strategy. Whether students choose to compete or not, the skills they gain from competition training—such as handling stress, strategic thinking, and learning from both wins and losses—are invaluable in all aspects of life.
For students who do not wish to compete, the focus remains on self-improvement, personal growth, and mastering the art of Jiu-Jitsu. The program is flexible, allowing each teen to pursue their individual goals, whether those involve competing or simply improving their skills and fitness.
Safe, Supportive, and Structured Environment
Safety and support are core values at Companhia Paulista de Jiu-Jitsu. Our highly trained instructors ensure that every class is conducted with the highest standards of safety, creating an environment where students can learn and grow without fear of injury. Each student is guided through techniques at a pace that suits their level, allowing them to progress confidently and safely.
Parents are always welcome to observe classes, ensuring that they can see the progress their teens are making, not only in Jiu-Jitsu but also in personal development. We believe in building a strong community where students, parents, and instructors work together to support each other.
