Our Children’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program at GB Long island was created to provide an environment that allows your child to experience and understand core values around focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation and respect – all through the principles of BJJ teachings.
To excel in any endeavor, individuals need to have a strong set of values and a solid character that allows for perseverance and goal attainment. As a contact sport, Gracie Barra Long Island provides a very challenging yet safe and caring environment for a child to mature into a real life champion.
The outcome of continued childhood practice of GB BJJ goes far beyond the accomplishments on the mats. The discipline and excellence demanded by our instructors often carries over to the child’s behavior at home and at school.
Our Children’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program which is referred to as our “GB Kids Program” is divided in three different groups to accommodate students of different ages and skill levels:
Little Champions I (3-6 years old),
Little Champions II (7-9 Years Old),
Juniors & Teens (10-14 years old).
