WHO IT'S FOR
Built for Fresno Teens Ages 11 to 15
Teen MMA is for Fresno and Clovis teens ages 11 to 15 who want a real challenge. Some want to get in shape. Some need an outlet. Some want to stop feeling like they're on the back foot at school.
No experience needed. Coaches meet every teen where they are and push them at the right level.
Classes run 45 to 60 minutes. We recommend 2 to 3 classes a week.
Structured classes, real coaching, and confidence that shows up at home and at school.
Inside a Teen MMA Class at UMA
What a Class Looks Like
Every class starts with conditioning for strength, cardio, and mobility. Then teens learn striking basics like punches, kicks, footwork, and pad work, plus grappling and Jiu Jitsu fundamentals like takedowns, positions, and escapes. Partner work is coached and structured. High standards. No chaos, no ego.
What Parents Notice
A teen who carries themselves with more confidence. A healthy outlet for stress and energy. Less screen time and more effort. Better follow-through on hard things, and the composure to stay calm and think before they react.
Anti-Bullying Built In
About 1 in 5 students report being bullied, and the middle school years are often the hardest. Teen MMA builds awareness, assertiveness, and the confidence to ask for help. Physical skills are the last resort, never the goal.
Quick Details
Ages 11 to 15. Classes run 45 to 60 minutes, and we recommend 2 to 3 classes a week. No experience needed. Your first week is free, so your teen can see if it clicks before you commit to anything.

Teen MMA Questions from Fresno Parents
Is MMA safe for teens?
Yes. Training is coached and controlled. Teens drill with partners at their level, and safety rules are enforced every class.
Will my teen be sparring right away?
No. New students learn fundamentals first. Contact is introduced gradually and always supervised.
My teen isn’t in shape. Can they still join?
Yes. Conditioning is part of class. Most teens start out of shape and build from there.
What’s the difference between Teen MMA and Kids Jiu Jitsu?
Kids Jiu Jitsu is grappling only, for ages 6 to 10. Teen MMA adds striking and conditioning for ages 11 to 15.
What should they wear to the first class?
Athletic clothes and a water bottle. We’ll help with gear after the free week.
