Self Defence for Teens

Self Defence

for Teens (12-17)

Self Defence training lets our teenagers defend themselves using reflexive body movements designed for real life action. However, if their only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. That’s why ‘what happens before the ‘fight” is also trained. That way, the teens can choose the best tool for the job at hand.

“So they may walk in peace.”

It’s critically important for young people to know how to stay out of trouble, but also what to do should they get into a physical confrontation. Personal Strength Jujitsu self defence training involves situational awareness, avoidance strategies, mental preparation, verbal dissuasion and effective physical techniques and principles, providing them with a basic toolkit for conflict resolution.

Training topics include:

Avoiding different types of attacks and dangerous situations
Target Hardening’ – strategies to lower the odds of being attacked
Talking your way out of conflict safely
Maintaining physical boundaries
Natural striking and effective targets

“While the practice of self-defence may not be compatible with every personality,
ignoring the need for self-defence skills will not make our young people safe from violence.”

The goals of Personal Strength Jujitsu training for teens also extend to:

Developing positive self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline
Developing a person as a positive role model
Creating expertise in confrontation management and effective communication
Developing healthy community attitudes and values

Self defence training for teens allows our young people greater freedom with greater safety.

Self Defence For Teens

My son attends the self defence course and it is the only course that I do not need to drag him over to come. Sensei Brown is very caring and patient but yet discipline and determined. The learning environment is very supportive and friendly towards anybody…. read more

My son , now 19 , mentioned yesterday that he was so grateful to have taken your teens self-defense classes! Apart from the fun physical classes and solid defense methods learnt. He said that the skills and knowledge gained have been invaluable. If he finds himself in a potentially threatening situation, he is able to draw on the awareness and de-escalation techniques he learned in class to safely diffuse the situation. He says “The instructors taught us how to trust our instincts, assess risks, and prioritize our safety above all else. I feel more empowered and prepared to handle any situation that comes my way. I highly recommend these self-defense classes to anyone looking to gain practical skills and confidence!"

Had no idea what i was getting into upon engaging this class for my daughter, at her own request.. But it's been the best few years worth of memories of our lives. For my little girl and for me as well ! Thank you very much sensei Tim🙏.

My daughter does kick boxing sessions weekly at personal strength. She enjoys the supportive and safe environment whilst having fun keeping fit. Tim has created a great space for young people to be the best version of themselves.

UPDATE: it's been almost 5 years since I left this review. We're still going strong! I'm still training with Tim 💪 My now 10-year-old son is still doing Ninjas classes 👍 Great local gym with a very welcoming environment. I've been training with Tim for almost 2 years and I always enjoyed his personalised approach which helped me to achieve my goals. Tim is always very encouraging and makes each training session challenging, but rewarding. Apart from training adults, Tim is excellent working with kids and my 5.5yo son is always looking forward for his next Little Ninjas classes, which he started as a 3-year-old. Kids classes are always fun, with a mix of games and various exercises teaching self-awareness and safety. I would definitely recommend FunFit to everyone.

Fantastic mix of fitness, self-defence and life skills in a fun environment. Builds confidence, respect and strength - both physical and mental - in the children. Highly recommend!

Karen Wakil

My boy really enjoys Tim's teenagers' fitness classes: Tim is very encouraging and motivating and has a good sense of humour! The class is very energetic and fun! Highly recommend!

Estelle Demontrond-Box

Tim always keeps the workouts fresh and interesting and was always committed to safety. Workouts were always challenging but catered to the level you were at. Never a boring session and looked forward to them always. Great community feel and music too! Only reason I'm not going anymore is because I moved to the other side of Sydney.

Edward Kim

Both my 4 year old girl and 6 year boy absolutely love the classes. They've done lots of other activities over the years but there's something about being a little ninja that makes them light up and they enjoy every minute of the class.

Ruth Hawkins

Great classes. My daughter loves them. They're a good mix of fun, fitness, knowledge and skills. An awesome find.
