Teen Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes
Lindamoods Martial Arts has programs designed specifically for Teens. In our Teen BJJ classes, Teens will feel safe, secure, and challenged to become the best version of themselves.
Program Overview
Teen BJJ Classes build super-teens through Focus, Fitness and Fun
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect martial art for teenagers! It gives them real grappling and self-defense skills, teaching leverage and technique over brute strength. At Lindamoods Martial Arts, they'll train in a safe, structured class designed to build discipline, mental toughness, and confidence.
Physical Development: Strength
As Teens turn into adults, it's vital for them to build real, usable strength. This point in their musculoskeletal development is when building strength is most important, and at Teen BJJ, they'll have a blast doing it!
Physical Development: Flexibility
Teens grow rapidly, and as that happens, it's normal for their muscles to tighten. At Lindamoods Martial Arts, we've found that because we make flexibility an accessible, built in part of our program, they make dramatic gains in flexibility, carrying that improved quality of life into adulthood.
Physical Development: Agility
It's well known that growing teens can be clumsy or have challenges with proprioception as they're not used to their new, bigger bodies, but it doesn't have to be that way! In Teen BJJ, they'll increase balance, awareness and precision, quickly turning into real life Ninjas, and they'll love every second of it!

Mental Development: Focus
If it feels like your Teen's focus is all over the place, you're not alone - Teen brain development often means a perceived lack of focus. What most Teens need is to practice focusing on something they love, and at Teen BJJ they'll do just that. They'll come away from each class with more and more focus, ultimately having sustained patience at will, and they'll benefit from it for life.
Emotional Development: Determination
Even if it doesn't look like it on the outside, Teens are dealing with a lot. At this age, they're deciding how they'll respond to challenges on an emotional level. Will they give up when things get tough? Or will they push through, accomplishing what they set their mind to? At Teen BJJ, they'll practice this skill in every class, building determination step by step until it's an ingrained part of their personality.
Mental Development: Confidence
Teens are constantly bombarded by mental and emotional challenges that chip away at their confidence, especially with today's aggressive technological and social landscape. It's vital for Teens to build rock-solid self confidence, but that won't happen without putting in the work. At Teen BJJ, they'll learn to overcome mental, physical and emotional obstacles, building real grit and determination along the way - and they'll take that deep, unshakeable confidence with them everywhere they go.

Roanoke parents agree:
There's a reason teenagers in Roanoke are talking about Teen BJJ Classes
Teens need activities that are engaging and awesome. They have to be cooler than video games, TV, phones and other screen oriented activities that simply aren't beneficial. Teen BJJ is exactly what they need and want - here's why:
Real Strength
Teens can see their own strength building after only a few weeks. They love to see their strength grow in real time, working each day on becoming the strongest version of themselves.
Amazing Agility
Yes, the reality is that every teenager thinks they're already a ninja! Once they get into class though, they start learning actual, real 'ninja' moves, and they absolutely love feeling like a superhero.
They feel 'Cool'
Many parents are new to Lindamoods Martial Arts, but almost all teens know how awesome it is to be here. It's a blast, and parents can feel great knowing it's also packed with benefits.
They have FUN!
We're Teen BJJ teachers because we love what we do! That shows through each and every day, and the joy is infectious. It's the most fun activity available for them, hands down!
Kids need programs like Teen BJJ now more than ever...
To help fight and prevent Obesity, kids need to move! The reality though is that our lives aren't set up for movement. With 7+ hour seated school days and busy parent work schedules, it's tough to keep modern kids healthy.
It's too easy for kids nowadays to become sedentary and carry that into adulthood. The healthy habits learned at Teen BJJ can benefit kids for life, and can fight the seemingly inevitable march of adult onset health issues.
More and more it seems inevitable that as kids grow into adults, they slow down and become unhealthy. It doesn't have to be this way, but we have to create healthy movement habits before it's too late.

The Contrast Is Clear
Traditional Sports vs. Teen BJJ Classes
| Traditional Sports | Teen BJJ |
|---|---|
✕Being left out if you're 'not good enough' | All teens are always included, physically gifted or not |
✕Unhelpful, untrained amateur coaches | Trained, caring, professional instructors |
✕Physical skills only; no focus on character development | Physical skills teens love, but an intentional focus on life skills teens need |
✕Too many practices and games, leaving precious little family time | Reasonable expectations for attendance and participation leaving plenty of family time |
What do Actual Lindamoods Martial Arts Parents Say?
"I had a great time training here! Professor Lindamood had a lot of really great insights and pointers for all of us. I love his real world approach to BJJ. If you are in Roanoke and want to learn jiu-jitsu this is by far the best place to train. I look forward to the next time I'm in town and can come drop in for another great class. I highly recommend Lindamood Martial Arts."
"Professor Bobby is not just my Coach, he is my brother and friend! BJJ/Martial arts here is not just about learning techniques, it is about slowing down, connecting mind with your body, and honestly expressing your abilities. The culture pushes you to grow, explore, and be your truest self on the mat and in life."
"I've been training at Lindamoods Martial Arts in Bonsack for 7 years and it's been amazing. Professor Lindamood and the team are skilled, patient, and make every class engaging. The community is welcoming, and I've grown stronger and more confident through their gi and no-gi classes. The gym is clean, and the schedule works great. Highly recommend Lindamoods Martial arts to beginners and advanced jiu jitsu practitioners alike!"
"I may be a little biased because Professor Lindamood is a great friend of mine, but my experience with him over the years has shown me one thing clearly: he is a genuinely kind, caring, and dedicated leader. That same care and professionalism shines through in everything he does — as a business owner, a martial arts practitioner, and an educator. If you're looking for a place to train, or a safe and supportive environment for your children, look no further. Professor Lindamood sets the standard."
"I can't say enough about how great a program Bobby runs. The kids classes are fun and educational and I love the connections I've made in the adult BJJ and kickboxing classes. If you're looking for a family oriented, educational and fun program, look no further!"
