We welcome everyone. Praised by parents and students, our lessons are inclusive, easy to learn, and lots of fun. Get bully-proof today!

We will teach your child verbal assertiveness and conflict resolution, as well as non-violent self-defense techniques to protect themselves.

Our Youth Class Creed is:

"I will develop myself in a positive manner; and I will avoid anything that would reduce my physical health or mental growth." 

We have a full curriculum and rank system with periodic skill tests. Classes are carefully structured and supervised by multiple Coaches and Assistants, both male and female. We really enjoy teaching kids!

Your child will have fun, get fit, learn self-defense, gain focus and increase self-discipline! 

We emphasize self-defense while also including sport aspects for fun and fitness. Our techniques are very effective and practical against all verbal and physical confrontations. Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and sport with both standing and ground skills that focuses on grappling aspects. The goal is to safely gain a dominant position and use structurally sound holds to control an opponent. It allows a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique to successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant. For kids we focus on self-protection, body movements and positioning that can be nonviolently used for bully-defense while building a strong foundation for adding more advanced techniques as the child gains knowledge.

Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives you options for any type of situation where you - or your child -  find the need for self-defense.
