To excel in any pursuit, one must possess strong values and a solid character that fuels perseverance towards their goals. The Gracie Barra Kids Program was established to instil these values in children aged 3-15 through a supportive and engaging environment.
Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu provides a challenging, yet safe and nurturing environment for children to develop into champions in both sport and life. Regular practice instils discipline and excellence, reflecting positively on a child’s behaviour at home and school.
The Gracie Barra Kids Program is divided into three age- and skill-level groups: Little Champions I (3-6 years old), Little Champions II (7-9 years old), and Juniors & Teens (10-14 years old).
