“YOUNGLINGS” BJJ 8-13 yo

Tough Kids. Big Growth. Real Skills.
This is the age where kids start testing limits, building their identities, and needing more than just play—they need purpose.
Our Younglings program is designed specifically for kids ages 8 to 12 who are ready for challenge, structure, and deeper skill development through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Whether your child is competitive, curious, or just needs a safe space to be active—we meet them where they are and help them grow through discipline, movement, and fun.

ADULT BJJ

Come for the Technique. Stay for the People.
You don’t need to be in the best shape of your life to start, you just need to want more from your training—more clarity, more depth, more resilience.
We welcome adults of all ages and experience levels who want to train hard, think deeper, and grow.
Whether you’re a total beginner, a black belt looking for serious rolls, or someone who’s been out of the game for a while—this is your room.

WOMEN’S BJJ

Strength. Skill. Safety. Sisterhood.
We believe Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective, empowering martial arts for women, and we’re proud to offer a training space where women can move, learn, and train in a safe and inviting environment.
Whether you’re a total beginner, a lifelong athlete, a mom looking to get strong again, or a competitor seeking clean rounds, you belong here.

CHESS LAB

Train the Brain Like You Train the Body
Our Chess Lab is a unique program for kids and teens (ages 8–17) that teaches strategy, patience, focus, and critical thinking through the timeless game of chess.
Whether your child already loves the game or is just getting started, this lab gives them a chance to think deeply, compete respectfully, and develop mental skills that transfer to the mats.

PRIVATE LESSON

Go Deeper. Sharpen Faster. Train With Purpose.
Sometimes you need more than class.
Whether you’re brand new and want to build a strong foundation, preparing for competition, coming back from injury, or simply craving faster progress, private training is your edge.
At The MATS Academy, we offer customized one-on-one and small group sessions designed to meet you exactly where you are and move you forward—fast.
