Gracie Kids is our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program for children ages 7 to 12 in Gilbert, AZ, with 45 minute classes four afternoons a week.
Every parent wants their child to be safe, confident, and capable. Gracie Kids delivers all three, through authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that actually works, taught by coaches who know your child by name.
This is the age when confidence gets decided. Kids figure out whether they're the type who backs down or the type who stands up, and that self-image can follow them for decades.
Gracie Kids hands them nothing. They earn every stripe, and they know it. Not participation trophies, not empty praise, but proof they collected themselves. That proof compounds, stripe by stripe, belt by belt, and it changes how they walk into every room for the rest of their life.
Authentic Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Because it relies on leverage instead of strength, a smaller child can genuinely defend against a bigger, stronger one. That isn't marketing, it's the whole design of the art.
Bullies pick targets who look unsure. Kids who have been grabbed and pinned in training by people bigger than them stop looking unsure, and if someone does try, they can control it without throwing a punch. The goal is a child who never has to fight, because they know they could.
Class demands full attention. Parents and teachers routinely tell us they see the difference at school within weeks. It's not a coincidence, it's a trained skill.
Your child will get stuck. They'll get frustrated. And then they'll figure it out. That loop, repeated, is how you build a kid who doesn't fold when life gets hard.
Respect for coaches, for training partners, and for themselves. It starts on the mat and it doesn't stay there.
Comfortable clothes, no gi, no gear, no experience. We'll take care of everything else.
A coach pairs your child with someone who'll look after them and walks them through the day's technique. Nobody gets thrown in the deep end.
That's usually how it goes. Your 14 days for $14 gives them two full weeks to find out.
The easiest way to see if Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is right for your child. No pressure, no long-term commitment.
Yes, and that's the point of Jiu-Jitsu specifically. It's built on leverage and technique rather than size and strength, so a smaller child can control a bigger one. It's the most practical self-defense a kid can learn.
Kids classes are closely supervised and built around control, not aggression. Bumps happen in any sport, but safety on our mat is non-negotiable.
Perfect. Most of our Gracie Kids start with zero experience. They're taught at their own pace alongside kids who started exactly where they are.
Not for the first classes. Comfortable clothes work. We'll tell you when it's time for a gi and help you get the right one.
Two to three times a week is the sweet spot for real progress at this age. We'll help you find a schedule that works for your family.
Yes. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uses a belt and stripe system, and promotions here are earned on the mat, never handed out on a schedule.
Two weeks. Fourteen dollars. Watch them surprise you.
