GRACIE BARRA
Kids Program
Creating tomorrow’s champions
The MOST important lesson your child will learn from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra South Austin is that they can do hard things & by doing hard things they get stronger, more resilient, & more confident in embracing hard things. Our children’s curriculum was developed in conjunction with certified SPED teachers to ensure we’re able to help all young people. Our certified instructors teach children to focus their attention on one task at a time, hone tactical & strategic skills as well as develop critical thinking skills resulting in a gain in overall fitness levels, resilience & confidence.
The Gracie Barra Brotherhood provides kids and teens with a sense of community. We are organized like a team, but fight together like a family. This philosophy helps our students build trust and leadership skills with every class. Gracie Barra South Austin helps children learn valuable life skills that can be used both in and out of the classroom.

Our role as educators in support of your child’s journey:
We often find that our instruction, because it is so challenging, benefits children of all ages & abilities. Whether we’re encouraging your child to push beyond their perceived boundaries, to try harder than they ever thought possible, to treat everyone with courtesy & respect or simply enjoying how fun Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu is, you can be sure that the lessons learned on the blue mats will support your efforts as a parent/caregiver, & their teacher’s roles as educators. It takes a village to raise healthy young people, & we’re honored to be considered part of yours!
The Gracie Barra Kids Program was created to provide children ages 3-15 with an environment that allows them to experience & build core values like focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation and respect.
As a contact sport, Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu provides a very challenging yet safe & caring environment for children to become real life champions where their accomplishments will outweigh any success in the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The discipline & excellence demanded by our instructors often carries over to the child’s behavior at home and at school.
Our GB Kids Program is designed to teach children self-discipline & self defense & will also provide a unique path for self expression. Our instructors are trained to interact and offer gentle correction for children and teens & your Gracie Barra South Austin membership will also allow your child to train at any of the other 1,200+ Gracie Barra Schools around the world.
Our GBK program is structured similarly to adult courses, with adaptations and modifications made to reach the different age ranges in the class. Jiu-Jitsu classes for children begin with the building blocks of body movement that are needed to teach the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu.
Our Gracie Barra Kids Program is subdivided in three different groups to accommodate students of different ages and skill levels:
- Teeny tiny
(18 month to 3 years old). - Tiny Champs
(3 to 5 years old). - Little Champs
(6 to 9 years old). - Juniors
(10 to 15 years old).
“There is no losing in Jiu Jitsu. You either win or you learn.”
