1. Structured Self Defense Program:
The GB’s curriculum emphasizes practical self defense techniques, designed to give children confidence in their ability to protect themselves in multiple scenarios. The structured approach helps kids learn in a safe environment by teaching them age-appropriate techniques & fundamental Jiu Jitsu skills.
2. Anti-Bullying Focus:
Gracie Barra’s anti-bullying program teaches kids how to handle confrontation without resorting to aggression. Children learn to defend themselves verbally and physically when necessary, while also developing awareness and the confidence to de-escalate situations. The values of respect, discipline, and the leadership instilled in the program empower kids to stand up for themselves and others.
3. Sports Jiu Jitsu Training:
In addition to self defense, Gracie Barra offers a strong sports Jiu Jitsu curriculum, preparing kids for competition if they choose to participate (our Head Professor Gabriel Arges is a multiple time World Champion and has competed in the biggest stages of the sport).
With clear progression through belts, kids develop athleticism, discipline, and perseverance. This part of the curriculum teaches the strategic and technical aspects of Jiu Jitsu that can be applied in competition, building resilience and teamwork.
4. Life Skills and Personal Development:
Beyond Jiu Jitsu techniques, the Gracie Barra Program teaches valuable life skills such as focus, goal-setting, responsibility, and respect for others. The supportive environment promotes social skills, leadership development, and fosters a sense of community and belonging.
