Pre-Teen Martial Arts

Why Parents Trust Our Pre-Teen Martial Arts Program

Every Child Gets a Chance to Shine

Unlike team sports where some kids sit on the sidelines, every student in our pre-teen martial arts classes is actively involved. We make sure each child feels seen, challenged, and supported—no matter their skill level.

Built for How Pre-Teens Think and Learn

Pre-teens are becoming more independent, but they still need structure. Our program is designed to meet them where they are—offering discipline without being rigid, and challenge without overwhelm. We help students focus, take ownership, and grow emotionally through martial arts.

Surrounded by Positivity and Real Role Models

At an age when peer influence is strong, we provide a team environment built on encouragement and accountability. Students train alongside others who lift them up, with instructors who lead by example. It’s not just about skill—it’s about who they’re becoming.

Class Schedule & Structure

Tuesdays & Thursdays at 5:30 PM

Our pre-teen martial arts classes in Thibodaux meet twice a week, offering a structured outlet that helps 10–12-year-olds thrive. Each 45-minute session builds physical skills, emotional control, and mental focus.

🧠 Skill Development

Your child will learn proven techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and self-defense. We focus on:

  • Positional control (like mount and back control)

  • Escapes and reversals

  • When to apply pressure vs. when to disengage

These skills are taught step-by-step so students can grow at their own pace with proper guidance.

🤼 Partner Drills & Strategy Games

Students work with partners to practice their techniques safely and effectively. Through structured drills and real-time problem-solving games, they:

  • Apply their skills under light pressure

  • Learn timing and reaction

  • Build respect and communication

This phase is where lessons from the mats start to translate into real-world awareness and self-control.

🗣️ Mindset Coaching Built In

Every class includes a short conversation about discipline, effort, or leadership. Pre-teens are developing identity and independence—our coaching helps them channel that growth in a positive direction.

We encourage them to:

  • Speak respectfully

  • Show up consistently

  • Take responsibility when they fall short

A Martial Arts Program with Purpose

This isn’t just about learning to grapple. It’s about giving your child the tools to lead, not follow.

  • Responsibility
