We love watching people discover what they’re capable of, and it’s especially cool to watch teenagers find footing, confidence, and new friends.

Our teens class will focus on repetitions of fighting skills both standing and on the ground, as well as anti-bullying and vocal communication drills. If your child was with us from the Kids aged 7-12 program, it’ll be more of the same skills they’ve already learned, but applying them more dynamically. Ideally, your child learns to problem solve self-defense scenarios on their own, using a variety of tools and skills. At this age, we will also focus on leadership development — giving them the skills they need to teach and lead others.

The Saturday class is taught by Renee Lefebvre, and Wednesday classes will be taught by Timmon Aportadera, both excellent instructors with a background in teaching this age group.
