At Gracie Barra, the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is seen as a means to individual development, and our Kids and Juniors Program emphasizes development of these important life skills.

Now you can enroll your children in Jiu-Jitsu classes and get them to learn this martial art and combat sport.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport derived from Japanese martial art of Kodokan Judo that focuses on grappling. It teaches that even a weaker person can successfully defend against a stronger person by using proper techniques. This is not just a system of fighting but involves much more that that. It also teaches the importance of discipline, self confidence, respect, integrity and team work in life.
