Build balance, athleticism, confidence and strong wrestling fundamentals in a structured program for developing youth athletes.
Our Youth No-Gi Grappling classes offer your child the opportunity to meet new friends, connect with mentors who will guide them to excellence, and learn transferable skills that will help them in all aspects of life. What we teach at Alex Martins BJJ Academy isn’t just about winning matches — it’s about instilling strong values and promoting positive personal growth!
As your child makes the journey from their first day on the mat to becoming a seasoned competitor, they learn about goal-setting and discipline. As they practice new grappling techniques with their teammates, they gain teamwork and leadership skills. Each class helps them build focus and listening skills. And as a bonus, the confidence, resilience, and body awareness they gain serve as powerful anti-bullying strategies and practical self-defense!
Youth Wrestling at Alex Martins BJJ helps young athletes learn how to move with control, maintain a strong stance, finish takedowns safely and respond calmly under pressure. Classes combine technical instruction with positive coaching so students can improve fitness, resilience, teamwork and discipline whether they are new to wrestling or want to sharpen skills for competition.

Alex Martins began his martial arts journey in 1997 at just 17 years old, training under Junior Cardoso in Manaus, Brazil. Today he holds a 5th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and brings over two decades of experience to the mat.
With a passion that has taken him across the globe, Alex has competed extensively to sharpen his technique and expand his knowledge, always pushing to deliver the very best to his students. His teaching goes beyond submissions and sweeps: it’s about building discipline, boosting confidence, and setting people up for success both on and off the mats.
