Teen BJJ Classes in Vienna
Our teen BJJ program in Vienna is a dedicated class for 11- to 15-year-olds: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the gi and grappling without a gi, three times a week, in a small group with people your own age. No punches or kicks, just technique, self-defense and loads of energy.
What you learn in teen BJJ in Vienna
Jiu Jitsu is like chess with your body: technique, timing and brains beat strength. That’s why you can start without any experience and get better week after week.

Falling safely, breaking balance and your first throws from wrestling and judo.

Why Jiu Jitsu for teens?
BJJ is more than a sport. You learn to defend yourself in tough situations without hurting anyone. You quickly see what you’re capable of, and that makes you more confident. Plus, you train your whole body: strength, endurance, mobility and coordination.
School, exams, friends, social media: sometimes it’s all too much. Grappling lets you clear your head and burn off energy, in a controlled and safe way. On top of that come discipline and respect for your training partners and coaches, values that stay with you off the mat, too.

Your coaching team under Prof. Petar Pecija
The teens class is led by our youth coach, and head coach Petar Pecija oversees the program. Both make sure you learn techniques correctly and safely, partners are matched by size and experience, and everyone in the group feels welcome.
Info for parents
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has no punches or kicks, so the risk of injury is low. Techniques are practiced slowly, tapping out ends every situation immediately, and the coaches match partners by size and experience.
You can watch the class from the lounge. The contract runs quarterly and automatically renews for another quarter unless it’s canceled in writing six weeks before it ends. We’re happy to answer questions about the group or getting started by phone or email.
