High School Is Tough. Be Tougher.
Advanced martial arts training and real-world self-defense for teens who refuse to be victims.
Why Teens Need This
The Skills High School Doesn’t Teach
High school throws everything at you. Peer pressure. Bullies. Social anxiety. Physical threats. And the world expects you to just “deal with it.”
Here’s the problem: most teens don’t have the tools to deal with it.
At The Forge, we teach teens how to:
- Handle physical threats – from de-escalation to last-resort defense
- Build unshakeable confidence – the kind that changes how you carry yourself
- Compete if you want – sport Taekwondo for tournaments and testing
- Stay disciplined – skills that carry into school, work, and life
We don’t treat teens like kids. We treat them like the young adults they are – and we train them accordingly.
Our Teen Programs
Teen Foundry
Ages 13-17
Class Times:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 5:30 PM – 6:15 PM
What You’ll Learn:
- Advanced ITF Taekwondo techniques
- Competition sparring and forms
- Mixed-style applications (Kung Fu + Krav Maga elements)
- Mental discipline and focus
- Leadership through mentoring younger students
Our Approach:
This is serious martial arts training. You’ll learn traditional forms, compete if you want, and work toward advanced belt ranks. But we also integrate practical self-defense concepts – because traditional martial arts are great, but knowing how to defend yourself in real life is better.
Perfect For:
Teens who want structured, disciplined training. Students interested in competition, belt progression, and building real martial arts skill.
Youth Self-Defense
Ages 12-17
Class Times:
Tuesday, Thursday: 5:00 PM – 5:45 PM
What You’ll Learn:

- Defense against grabs, chokes, and strikes
- Scenario-based training
- Awareness and de-escalation
- Realistic response to threats
Our Approach:
This is pure self-defense. No forms. No belt tests. Just practical techniques that work when it matters. We train scenarios that teens actually face – hallway confrontations, after-school threats, party situations. The goal is simple: go home safe.
Perfect For:
Teens who want practical skills fast. Students focused on real-world application over traditional martial arts ranking.
