TEAM TORRES TEEN PROGRAM
Our Teens Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program is designed to support young people during one of the most important stages of their development.
Through structured, age-appropriate training, students learn effective self-defence skills while building confidence, discipline and respect.
The Program encourages:
- Confidence through achievement
- Discipline and personal responsibility
- Focus, resilience and problem solving under pressure
- Respect for coaches and team mates
- Teamwork
- Integrity
- Physical fitness and co-ordination
- Building leadership mental toughness
- Improved physical fitness
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 happened 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.
As a parent, nothing matters more than your child’s safety.

And because classes are supervised by experienced professionals, safety is always the priority.
No chaos.
No ego.
