BJJ for Kids & Teens Ages 8–15: Real Skills, Real Growth
As kids grow into their pre-teen and teenage years, they need more than just physical activity—they need structure, confidence, and a positive community. That’s exactly what they’ll find in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program for ages 8–15 at Tennessee BJJ Academy Murfreesboro.
Our program is designed to help kids build strength—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally—through a martial art that’s fun, practical, and empowering.
What Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on technique, leverage, and control rather than size or strength. Kids learn how to:
Escape bad positions
Defend themselves without striking
Use balance and strategy to overcome stronger opponents
It’s one of the most effective martial arts for self-defense, and one of the best for developing a child’s character.
7 Key Benefits of BJJ for Kids & Teens Ages 8–15

BJJ develops core strength, flexibility, balance, and agility—all while having fun. Classes are energetic, engaging, and great for kids who might not enjoy traditional sports.
2. 🧠 Discipline & Focus
In every class, students learn to listen, follow directions, and stay focused. These habits carry over into the classroom and everyday life.
3. 🛡️ Effective Bully Prevention
We teach students how to stay calm, use their voice, and control situations without violence. BJJ builds real confidence, which often stops bullying before it starts.

Kids train with partners, learn to support each other, and develop friendships that last. Our classes are inclusive, encouraging, and great for social growth.
6. 🧭 Emotional Regulation
