Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a martial art; it can also impart valuable life lessons to kids. From focus and discipline to fitness, the benefits are numerous. That's why we are proud to offer the GB Kids program, which can help children:
- Improve social skills and enhance self-confidence

- Learn how to win and lose in a safe environment
- Learn how to stop bullying since the start
- Train in over 1000 schools worldwide
- And most importantly, they will learn how to fight, so they never have to fight
At Gracie Barra, we ensure that all of our schools are overseen by certified instructors who are committed to helping students achieve their full potential through challenging training programs. Our classes are customized to provide maximum benefits to students, and our instructors are always available to provide support throughout the journey.
The Gracie Barra Kids Martial Arts Program is the result of insights from over 20 experienced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors. The program is designed to impart self-defence skills to children, enhance their physical abilities, encourage camaraderie, and cultivate character by applying the lessons learned in training to everyday life. The course instills discipline, respect, self-confidence, and equips children with the tools to combat bullying from an early age
We are delighted to have you join us for your first BJJ class. Please arrive 15 minutes early to prepare for training, and our staff will be ready to greet you and your child. The class will begin promptly, and your child will be escorted to the training area by one of our assistant instructors or senior students, where the instructor will be waiting to commence the session.
To ensure your child is comfortable, an assistant instructor or senior student will be on hand to assist with BJJ drills and activities. We encourage parents to stay and observe the entire training session.
