pREPARE YOUR KIDS TO FACE THE WORLD with Brazilian Jiu jitsu. Set them up for success from the get-go.

Life is made of a series of challenges and obstacles. The only way to overcome them is to be prepared, strong and resilient.


Brazilian Jiu jitsu teaches children to face life head-on and gives them the right tools to deal with their own problems. Our sport is not only about physical strength, it is a mental puzzle-solving game.


It teaches physical and athletic skills like balance, strength, endurance and coordination, and improves mental fortitude, problem-solving ability and discipline. It instills values like patience, impulse-control and teaches many other skills transferable to life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How do I know if Brazilian Jiu jitsu is right for my son / daughter?

    Students with all kinds of backgrounds, interests, athletic abilities and personalities train at Fenix. Some are shy, others are natural extroverts. Some are talented athletes while others are have a limited athletic background or little interested for conventional sports. In our opinion, the most important signs you should look for in your child are a willingness to try something new and an interest in having fun through sports. 


    From there, the best way to find out if Brazilian Jiu jitsu is the right sport for them is to try it by booking a free intro class with us and making your decision based on their experience.

  • What if my son / daughter starts training and wants to quit after a few weeks?

    While we do our best to motivate and encourage our students not to give up (even when they go through a phase where they lack motivation) we understand kids can sometimes lose interest for sports or other activities. For that reason our month-to-month contracts do not bind students for long periods of time, and we will comply to membership termination with a simple written 30-day notice.

  • My son / daughter is uncordinated, not athletic and does not like to play sports. How do I convince them to give Brazilian Jiu jitsu a try?

    Many of our current students have come to our facilities after dropping out of other sports due to lack of interest. Sometimes parents will even tell us they “have tried every sports there is”.


    Brazilian Jiu jitsu is a non-conventional sport, very different from main-stream options like baseball, soccer, football or swimming. For that reason, many kids who “hate sports” end up finding out they love Brazilian Jiu jitsu, since our sport very different then everything else they have tried.


    At Fenix we offer new students a free introductory class. We think that is the best way to introduce our sport to children and their parents.

  • My son / daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD, ADD, autism or other psychological condition. Is Brazilian Jiu jitsu for him/her?

    While children struggling with behavioral and psychological conditions should, first and foremost, get the medical attention / treatment they need, spending time involved in a sport like Brazilian Jiu jitsu can a have a positive effect on kids who struggle with focus, motivation, hyper-activity, etc. 


    Here are a few reason as to why we think Brazilian Jiu jitsu can be benefitial:


        • BJJ is an individual sport, but plays out in a social environment

        • Classes are well structured, based on games, technique training and problem-solving

        • Students are continuously in motion, encouraged to ask questions and use their creativity to solve the problems they encounter during a training session

  • Are you open during summer or school breaks?

    Yes, our facilities are open year-round with regular training during summer and school breaks.

  • Will I find the place? What about parking?

    Please scroll up the page for information about our Tewksbury and Woburn locations. Both our facilities offer parking on site.

  • How much does a membership cost?

    Membership prices vary depending on age group and level. Please get in touch for more information.
