Kids and Teenagers

Our Gracie Barra Kids Programme is designed to teach children self-discipline as well as providing a unique way to express themselves. Our instructors are trained to interact and offer gentle correction for children and teens who practice the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Children over the age of three can begin their training experiencing the true power of brotherhood and integrity.

Our GBK programme is structured similarly to adult courses, with adaptations made to reach the different age ranges in the class. Jiu-Jitsu classes for children begin with the building blocks that are needed to teach the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu. We have developed a curriculum that is structured in a way that shows children and teens the value of routine, cooperation and self-awareness and offers real-world benefits.

Practicing Jiu-Jitsu with us helps children and teens release their energy in a healthy and productive way. Our certified instructors teach children to focus their attention on one task at a time, honing their abilities and developing critical thinking skills. When children learn how to do this, they’ll see a gain in confidence and improvement in their overall fitness level.

The Gracie Barra Brotherhood provides kids and teens with a sense of community. We are organised like a team, but fight together like a family. This philosophy helps our students build trust and leadership skills with every class.

By joining Gracie Barra Birmingham for Jiu-Jitsu classes, children can experience a fitness program like no other. Kids and teens alike will enjoy a boost in confidence, better focus and critical self-defense skills.
