A place to train hard with people your own age.
- Monday 6:30 to 7:45 pm
- Wednesday 7:00 to 8:00 pm, with adults
Teenagers get their own class for a reason. They are past the kids curriculum, they can train at real intensity, and they generally do not want to be in a room full of eight year olds. This class treats them as capable, which is usually the thing they are looking for.
What you will learn
In this class.
Practical self-defense
The Shou Shu curriculum at full detail, including situations teens actually face: grabs, shoves, being cornered, getting away from someone bigger.
Real conditioning
Training that is genuinely hard. Most teens find this is the part they end up proud of.
Confidence that shows
Posture, eye contact, and the calm that comes from having practiced a bad situation before it happens.
Training partners
A group that shows up for each other. For a lot of teens this ends up mattering as much as the martial arts.
A typical class
What to expect.
Monday is the dedicated teen class and runs a long 75 minutes. Wednesday teens train alongside the adults, which is where a lot of them start to realize how far they have come.
Your first two classes are free. Wear comfortable athletic clothes, bring water, and arrive a few minutes early so we can show you around.
Questions
About Shou Shu Teens.
My teen has never done martial arts. Is that a problem?
No. Beginners start regularly and the class is built to absorb them. Everyone in the room was new once, and it is normal to spend the first few weeks feeling behind.
What if my teen is 13?
Thirteen year olds are in Shou Shu Kids, which runs through age 13. Come in and we will look at size, maturity and experience before deciding.
Is this good for a teen who is not into team sports?
That is a large part of who trains here. There is no bench and no cutting. Progress is measured against where you started.
Two classes,
on us.
No pressure and no contract. Come train twice and see if it fits. Tuition starts at $80 a month, and parents train free.
