Gracie Bullyproof®
Confidence. Safety. Respect. For Life.
The Gracie Bullyproof® Jiu-Jitsu program is more than just martial arts—it’s a transformative journey that empowers children to become confident, respectful, and resilient individuals. Specifically designed for kids ages 5 to 12, this world-renowned program teaches practical self-defense through the fun and effective techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, while instilling lifelong values that extend far beyond the mat.
At the heart of Gracie Bullyproof® is the mission to equip children with the skills to peacefully and effectively stand up to bullying—verbally, non-violently, and only with physical technique as a last resort. Our structured curriculum helps kids of all personalities—from shy and passive to strong-willed and assertive—develop the awareness, confidence, and self-control needed to navigate social challenges safely.
What Your Child Gains:
• Real Self-Defense Skills: Proven techniques that don’t rely on size or strength, giving every child the ability to stay safe.
• Unshakable Confidence: Built through mastering skills in a supportive environment, not through aggression or fear.
• Improved Focus & Discipline: Every class reinforces the importance of respect, responsibility, and perseverance.
• Resilience & Leadership: Kids learn to handle setbacks, develop a strong work ethic, and support their teammates.
• A Bullyproof Mindset: With our “Verbal Jiu-Jitsu” tactics and rules of engagement, kids learn to de-escalate conflicts and speak up with courage.

Our Programs for Kids
Little Champs (Ages 5-7) – Learning Through Play
For our youngest students, we make Jiu-Jitsu fun! In the Little Champs program, children learn essential self-defense techniques through a series of 10 exciting games. While playing these games, your child will:
Develop strong reflexes for self-defense.
Unconsciously absorb the foundational principles of leverage and control.
Build confidence and coordination, all while having fun!
We believe in teaching through play – that’s why we say, "We don’t teach Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we play Jiu-Jitsu!"
Junior Grapplers (Ages 8-12) – Empowering Kids During Crucial Years
Bullying is most prevalent in this age group, so our Junior Grapplers program focuses on equipping children with the skills they need to defend themselves if attacked. In this program, your child will:
Learn non-violent control techniques that are designed to stop an aggressor without causing harm.
Gain confidence in their ability to handle confrontations both verbally and physically, without escalating the situation.
Be empowered to handle bullying with a calm, controlled, and effective response.
The Juniors Grapplers program is about teaching kids how to stand strong and stay safe when they need it most.
Give Your Child the Confidence to Stand Up to Bullies
The Gracie Bullyproof® program doesn’t just teach your child self-defense – it builds character, confidence, and resilience. If your child has struggled with other martial arts programs, they’ll find Gracie Bullyproof® to be a program they’ll enjoy and benefit from.
