Shaping Strong Minds and Bodies
Through Jiu-Jitsu
Training is progressive and goal-orientated, allowing teens to develop at their own pace while being challenged in a positive way while training alongside peers and dedicated world class coaches. This programme helps bridge the gap between kids and adult classes. It helps challenge young people, training alongside positive role models in a safe, supportive and structured environment. It helps them grow physically, mentally and socially in a place where they have fun, make friends and feel part of a team.
The result is more than progress on the mats, it is what happens beyond the mats where you will see the true growth and development – students learn to handle adversity, manage emotions, grow in confidence and self-belief, becoming leaders within their peer groups and grow as young adults.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Team Torres Derry gives teens a sense of identity, purpose and belonging during a time when confidence can feel fragile.
Real Self-Defence. Real Confidence.
Real Peace of Mind.
