Introduce your child to Jiu-Jitsu and help them build confidence, discipline, respect, focus, physical ability, and essential self-defence skills – all in a safe and supportive environment. By practicing Jiu-Jitsu, children learn valuable skills they wouldn’t develop from other sports.
At Gracie Barra, Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art – it’s a path to confidence, resilience, and respect. Through structured training, kids learn focus, discipline, and how to overcome challenges.
In a safe, supportive environment, our certified instructors help students build strength, coordination, and essential life skills. Surrounded by a strong sense of team and belonging, they become part of a global family – growing on and off the mats.
By practising Jiu-Jitsu, children learn valuable skills they wouldn’t develop from other sports – like staying calm under pressure, using technique over strength, and solving problems with focus and confidence.
Please pack a water bottle so your child can stay hydrated during class.
Children should wear comfy activewear like shorts, leggings, and a t-shirt that allows them to move freely. A Gracie Barra Gi and rashguard will be provided for their first class.
Easy-to-remove shoes like flip-flops or sandals help keep our mats clean and make it easier for kids to get ready before and after class.
Encourage your child to come with an open mind and a positive attitude, ready to learn and have fun.

Extremely disappointing experience. We stopped attending in mid-May but continued to be charged until the end of October. Despite confirming a refund amount in writing, they later refunded a different amount and even denied what they had previously committed to in writing. Very poor customer service, lack of accountability and completely unfair treatment. Would not recommend.Posted on Google![]()

They seem to be interested only in collecting payments, regardless of whether you actually participate in the course. Even when you completely stop attending, they don't bother to follow up or check what has happened. We had several detailed discussions with them when we decided to leave the course, and we mutually agreed on an end date. They even sent us an email confirming that date. However, when it came to refunding the additional payments made after the agreed end date, they simply claimed that the confirmation email was a mistake and refused to honour what had been agreed. Even worse, they continued charging us after the agreed end date. When we eventually noticed the extra charges and contacted them, their only response was, once again, that it was a mistake! (All the email communications are available) It seems that whenever there is an issue involving agreements, payments or customer service, they simply blame it on a mistake and expect the customer to accept it. Overall, we have had a very disappointing experience with them. Their service has been unreliable, their communication and payment processes have been inaccurate, and their approach to dealing with customers has been neither fair nor professional. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend them. Customers deserve a business that honours its agreements, takes responsibility for its actions and treats them fairly.Posted on Google![]()

We’ve had the most Exceptional experience here. Our Daughter was very unsure about starting bjj, and after attending her first class she’s a different person and can’t get enough. We’ve been made to feel so welcome and love attending. We especially love professor Marcson ♥️ He is just incredible with kids. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

Great place, nice people, definitely recommend it.
Children as young as 3.5 years old can start training in the GBK Program, which is tailored to their age and developmental stage.
Yes! Safety is a top priority. Our structured curriculum emphasizes safety, uses controlled movements, and respectful partner interaction to ensure a safe, positive environment.
We recommend 2 times per week for steady progress, but training frequency depends on your child's schedule and goals.
That’s completely normal! Our instructors are experienced with first-timers and will help your child feel welcome and supported. Progress happens at their own pace.
