Have questions about getting started? You’re not alone. Here are answers to the most common questions teens (and parents) ask about our self-defense program — so you can feel confident from day one.
In our self-defense classes for teens, we prepare all of our students with a strong foundation before live sparring. They’ll start by learning techniques step by step with partners in a controlled, safe setting. Live sparring only happens later, when they’re ready and comfortable.
No problem — you don’t need to be in shape to start. Classes are designed to build your strength, balance, and coordination over time, no matter where they are starting from.
Absolutely! Many teens train with siblings or friends. It makes learning even more fun, and you’ll all build skills together.
Yes. They’ll learn exactly how to stay calm, set boundaries, and protect themselves if they ever need to — all in ways that avoid unnecessary fights.
