Teens Mixed Martial Arts

Programme Overview

The Teens MMA & BJJ training programme provides a mid-way point where 11-16yr olds can start to work on more advanced techniques while still training with partners their own size. Our range of classes cover all the MMA foundations, including Striking (Punching, Kicking) and Submission Grappling & Wrestling techniques.

Our Teens programme provides a controlled environment in which we encourage our teens to learn applications of physics and body mechanics in addition to building discipline & respect for others. We maintain a positive environment to learn, but also a physical outlet for them release stress and improve fitness.  

The program is designed to facilitate the transition of younger teenagers from the youth classes into the adults classes.

Grading

We also provide a grading syllabus and access to competitions to provide goals and training focus for the team throughout the year. These are represented individually by grades in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (covering grappling elements including takedowns) and Kickboxing (covering striking elements including punching and kicking). Grading takes place twice per year and the syllabus guidelines can be found in our members app.

Competitions

There are numerous competitions available for the variety of styles listed below. We've had a strong team taking a range of medals at the NZ Grappler & Full Force competitions and we are always looking to develop a deeper programme for our competitive youth. As of 2018 several of our former Colts MMA team members have gone on to have a successfull amateur career in competitive MMA, with Flynn also representing New Zealand at the IMMAF Youth World Championships in 2022 and finishing in the top 8 in the world.
