GDABuilt For Serious Kids
A youth grappling academy in San Diego for kids who want to compete and win.
Who We Serve
Boys and girls, ages 4 to 14, who want to step on the mat at tournaments. Every athlete trains with the intent to compete at IBJJF, ADCC Youth, and UFC BJJ Youth events.
How The Room Runs
Most youth programs let the pace settle to the slowest kid. We don't. The standard is set by the athletes preparing for a real competition season, and everyone trains in that environment.
Athletes are grouped by age. Intensity scales with them. The culture does not.
Where We Train
All sessions are held at Rebellion MMA, 9825 Carroll Centre Rd, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92126.
How We Coach
Kids are not told what to do. They are given a problem, a partner who resists, and a coach who corrects them while it is happening.
That is how an athlete learns to think under pressure rather than wait for instructions.
