We’re located in Zürich, the best place to train martial arts if you’re in Switzerland! So, if you live in Zürich, it’s time to take a look at all of the martial arts programs we offer.

2. Six martial arts programs
Did we mention that we have six martial arts programs? Yes, six!
Choose between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Muay Thai, Boxing, Grappling, and Wrestling… As well as our BJJ For Kids program and the ability to use the gym (fitness) during all of the Academy’s working hours!
3. BJJ For Kids program
You have a child that’s high in energy, that wants to learn to protect himself/herself… Or you simply want to get them enrolled in one of the best martial arts in the world?
Awesome – because then you’ll love our BJJ For Kids program!
Frota Academy offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu kids classes across three different groups, according to kids’ age: 4-6 years old, 7-11 years old, and 12-15 years old.
Your child is welcome to attend any of our classes for a free trial session.
