No prior experience in martial arts is required. The first 10 to sign up pay €40. Full price is €50 for the entire two-month camp.

When and where do the sessions take place?
The camp runs from July 1 through September 1. Three evenings a week, always at 8:00 pm. The gym is Mizfits’ new 330 m² facility with 200 m² of roll mats. Plenty of space to move without crowding.
That works out to roughly 24 to 26 sessions over two full summer months. Last year’s teen program participants covered the basics in about that many sessions and moved into the regular teen group by September. Not a marketing pitch. It actually happened.
Does my teenager need any prior experience?
No. The camp starts from zero. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is built on technique and leverage, not on strength or size. That makes it accessible for teenagers who have never trained a martial art before. Everyone in the group begins at the same level and moves at their own pace.
Worth knowing: most teens who walk in with zero experience are evenly matched with each other in the first few weeks. There’s no embarrassing gap where one kid clearly knows what they’re doing and the rest don’t. That usually changes fast, but it’s a decent starting point.
What will teens learn at the camp?
The program covers BJJ fundamentals adapted for the age group: breakfalls and movement on the mat, controlling positions, escaping bad positions, and basic submissions. Every session includes controlled sparring where participants apply what they’ve learned against a live training partner.
BJJ is a good sport for the 13–15 age group because technique genuinely levels the playing field. A teenager who learns positional control well can hold their own against a physically bigger or stronger training partner. At an age when the physical gap between peers is often huge, that actually matters.
Why a structured camp rather than a free summer?
A free summer is great. It also tends to disappear quietly between a phone screen and the couch. Three sessions a week give enough structure to keep momentum, while still leaving plenty of time for everything else.
There’s no team ranking on the mat. No ekip sport where you’re immediately visible as the weakest link. Progress in BJJ is individual and measurable, and teenagers at this age tend to respond to that. Last year’s teen program started with seven complete beginners. By September that group had become a steady crew that still trains together today.
How much does the teen BJJ summer camp cost?
€50 for two full months of training. The first 10 to sign up pay €40. No registration fee, no extras. For reference, that’s less than one standard adult membership for the same period. A gi (kimono) is not required at the start — comfortable training clothes are fine for the first sessions.
Frequently asked questions about the teen BJJ camp
Can my teenager come for a trial session first?
Yes. Every new participant gets a free trial session before committing. Contact Gogi at +38591250585 or via Instagram DM at @mizfits_jiujitsu to set one up.
Is BJJ safe for teenagers?
BJJ has a lower injury rate in training than most contact team sports. At teen sessions, the coach controls sparring intensity and pairs participants by size and experience. Injuries happen in any sport, but they’re uncommon when training is properly supervised.
Do parents need to be there during sessions?
No, but they’re welcome. There’s seating for spectators in the gym. Most parents drop their kids off and leave. A fair number end up staying once they see how the sessions run.
Can training continue after the camp ends?
Yes. Depending on progress and interest, participants can continue in the regular teen group or move into the adult beginner class. For anyone who wants to eventually compete, AJP Tour runs events across the region throughout the year. Enrollment for 2026 at Mizfits is open.
How to sign up for the teen BJJ summer camp in Split
Contact Gogi at +38591250585 or via Instagram DM at @mizfits_jiujitsu. Spots are filled in order of registration. The first 10 secure the €40 rate; the rest go at €50. Group size is kept deliberately small — more coaching attention per participant.
This camp is the continuation of a program Mizfits first ran in summer 2024. The group that came out of it still trains. This year the camp moves into a new 330 m² gym with a tighter structure and more space. OSS! 💪
