Kids Self Defense, Kids Martial Arts, Kids Jiu JitsuBecoming a champion. Martial arts will support a parent’s instruction.

To excel in any endeavor, individuals must have a strong set of values and a solid character that will give them the perseverance to achieve his or her goals. The Gracie Barra Kids Self Defense program was created to provide children ages 4-14 with an environment that allows them to experience and understand core values like focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation and respect.

As a sport, Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) provides a very challenging yet safe and caring environment for a child to mature towards a real life champion. The outcome of continued childhood practice of GB BJJ will go far beyond just accomplishments on the mats, and the discipline demanded by our instructors will carry over to the child’s behavior at home and at school.

Our Future Champions Program is typically subdivided in different groups to accommodate students of different ages and skill levels:

  • Little Champions I (4-7 years old)
  • Little Champions II (8-14 Years Old)

The first time you come to our school you will be welcomed by our staff. Please arrive 15 minutes before class so you and your children have enough time to prepare for practice. The class will start on time and your child will be asked to walk to the training area where the instructor will be waiting for him or her. One of the assistant instructors or a senior student will be assigned as a helper to assist your child in performing the drills and activities. Parents are encouraged to stay and watch the entire practice.
