Philadelphia

We believe every child deserves the chance to train and grow. Our youth scholarship program at Shorty's BJJ is dedicated to enriching young lives through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, fostering a strong community of peers and mentors. Regular training in our program isn’t just about martial arts—it’s about building confidence, self-discipline, and motivation. It also significantly enhances the mental and physical health of our students.

By joining our program, underserved youths gain access to a supportive community, improve their physical fitness, find a safe and constructive space after school, learn valuable self-defense skills, and develop a lasting passion. It’s not just training—it’s a journey toward personal growth and empowerment.
