The Right Program for Every Stage of Your Child's Journey

Gracie Bullyproof® is more than a martial arts program—it's a confidence and character development system designed specifically for children ages 3–12. Rather than placing all children into the same class, our curriculum is carefully organized by both age and experience level, ensuring every student receives the perfect balance of fun, challenge, and personal growth.

Through age-appropriate instruction, children develop confidence, focus, respect, and practical self-defense skills while learning to respond to conflict with control instead of aggression. Using leverage-based techniques and proven Gracie teaching methods, students gain the tools to protect themselves, build resilience, and become leaders both on and off the mat.

Whether your child is taking their very first class or progressing toward advanced training, every step follows a structured path designed to help them grow in confidence and character.

The perfect introduction to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for preschool-aged children.

Parents join their child on the mat as our instructors lead fun, interactive games designed to build coordination, confidence, and comfort with closeness in a safe, encouraging environment. As students develop basic movement skills and confidence, they prepare to transition into our Little Champs program.

Building confidence through fun and movement.

Using our proven Gracie Games® curriculum, Little Champs learn foundational self-defense techniques while developing the principles of leverage, control, balance, and teamwork. Every lesson is designed to keep children engaged, active, and excited to learn.

After mastering the ten core Gracie Games®, students advance to the Jr. Grapplers program.

Developing confident leaders through practical self-defense.

Jr. Grapplers focuses on 33 non-violent self-defense techniques that teach children how to safely control and de-escalate physical confrontations. Students also develop verbal assertiveness skills, helping them recognize, avoid, and confidently respond to bullying situations before they become physical.

No prior experience is required, and many parents notice increased confidence, discipline, and maturity within just a few weeks of consistent training.

The Black Belt Club is reserved for students who have demonstrated exceptional dedication, character, and technical ability in the Jr. Grapplers program. Membership is by invitation only and represents the next step toward earning a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

Students in the Black Belt Club embody the values that define Gracie Jiu-Jitsu:

• Leadership

• Discipline

• Respect

• Courage

• Loyalty

• Compassion

• Integrity

This advanced program challenges students to become role models both on and off the mat while continuing their journey toward black belt excellence.

Gracie Combatives® is the official beginner program for adults with no prior experience required. Designed specifically for newcomers, this structured curriculum teaches the 36 essential Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques in a safe, supportive, and cooperative environment.

Master Cycle® is our advanced Gracie Jiu-Jitsu program for students who have completed Gracie Combatives® or have equivalent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience. This structured curriculum is designed to take students from blue belt to black belt through a systematic study of every major position in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

Training is organized into seven positional chapters—Mount, Side Mount, Guard, Half Guard, Back Mount, Leg Locks, and Standing—allowing students to develop a deep understanding of each position before progressing to the next.

In a safe, structured, and supportive training environment, students refine their technique, timing, and strategy while continuing their journey toward black belt excellence.
