Help your child build confidence, discipline, respect, focus, physical ability, and practical self-defense skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Try a Free ClassJiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art. Through structured, age-appropriate training, children learn how to stay calm under pressure, overcome challenges, work with others, and become more confident in themselves.

Classes improve coordination, balance, strength, body awareness, and overall physical fitness.
Children practice safe decision-making, controlled technique, and practical ways to protect themselves.
Jiu-Jitsu teaches children to think clearly, adapt, and use technique instead of strength.
Partner training helps students communicate, cooperate, and become supportive teammates.
Students stay active, make friends, and become part of the Gracie Barra family.
Each class is adapted to the age, experience, and developmental needs of our students.

We make the first visit simple so your child can focus on learning, moving, and having fun.
Bring a labeled water bottle so your child can stay hydrated during class.
Wear a fitted athletic shirt with shorts or leggings, without zippers or sharp pieces.
Slides or sandals are easy to remove and help us keep the mats clean.
It is normal to feel nervous. Our coaches will help your child participate at a comfortable pace.
A loaner Gi may be available for the trial class. Please contact us before class so we can prepare the appropriate size.
Safety is built into every class. Students learn how to train with control, communicate with their partners, follow instructions, and show respect before, during, and after class.
Every child develops at their own pace. Our coaches provide age-appropriate instruction and encouraging correction so students can learn from mistakes and feel proud of their progress.
A calm, focused training area helps every student learn. Parents and caregivers play an important role in helping children stay attentive, respectful, and ready to participate.
Please encourage your child to use the restroom before class begins and arrive with their water bottle and training gear ready.
Please keep phone use and conversations to a minimum near the mats. Children are naturally curious and may look away when they hear or see activity on the sidelines.
Before class, remind your child to remain on the mat, listen to the coaches, and avoid stepping away unless they have permission or need help.
Your child’s training time is also their partner’s training time. Staying focused, following directions, and participating respectfully helps both students learn and enjoy class.
Please allow the coaches to lead instruction and correction during class. Quiet encouragement is always welcome, but limiting sideline coaching helps children focus on their coach, build independence, and become more confident on the mat.
No. Beginners are welcome, and our coaches will help your child learn the fundamentals at an appropriate pace.
