Kids & Teens BJJ

As kids grow they develop core physical and social skills that will lead them towards a positive adulthood. Whether your child is an introvert or a social butterfly, Gracie Barra’s kid’s brazilian jiu jitsu in North Austin sets kids up for success.

Kids need strong leaders, individual goals, and feelings of empowerment. With Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our Future Champions program offers kids a motivating environment that inspires them to be the best that they can be. Our professional instructors guide students through important lessons around concentration, teamwork, and competition while providing kids with the structure and encouragement they need to achieve their goals. Kids and teens develop both physically and mentally through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grow even stronger with their practice.

The GB Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in North Austin Program is divided into four categories to accommodate students of different ages and levels:

• FUTURE CHAMPIONS
• Little Champions (ages 5 to 8)
• Juniors (ages 9 to 12)
• Teens (ages 13 to 16)

Does your child or teen face any of these challenges?

I took the self-defense class yesterday. My muscles are now sore so it was a good workout. I didn’t notice how much of a workout it was though because the techniques and moves and limb movements were the main focuses of the class. That’s a good thing lol. I recommend it

This was my first bjj experience with only boxing training in the past. The instructors and students were very helpful and patient. Facilities were clean and culture seems great (which isn’t always the case at fighting gyms)

I’ll definitely be going back

Great place for new adults (and apparently kids too). I started 6 months ago with no experience. They meet you where you're at and are great teachers.

Program & Pricing FAQs

My child isn't athletic. Can he/she still participate in martial arts?

Absolutely. Martial arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities refine them further.

Are these martial arts classes fun?

Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here and kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here, but we play just as hard.

What's a good age for a child to start martial arts?

Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.

Can martial arts cause injury?

Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because martial arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.

Do you have to be in good shape to take martial arts?

Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape and quickly become athletic and limber.

Is martial arts violent?

No! Because self-defense technique is taught in martial arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind martial arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
