methodology
At Gracie Barra Northridge, we offer an engaging Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program designed for
children and teens aged 4 to 15. Our age-specific classes help students develop physical
skills, discipline, and confidence while embracing the core values of Jiu-Jitsu: respect,
teamwork, and perseverance
Little Champs (Ages 4-6)
The Little Champs program is an ideal introduction to Jiu-Jitsu for younger children. Through fun exercises and games, we teach basic Jiu-Jitsu movements, promote body awareness, and introduce fundamental concepts such as focus, following instructions, and teamwork. Our goal is to create a positive and supportive environment where children can develop a love for the martial art while building essential life skills that will benefit them beyond the mats
Juniors (Ages 7-9)
In the Juniors class, children start to refine their Jiu-Jitsu techniques while learning how to spar and apply what they’ve learned in controlled settings. Emphasis is placed on focus, discipline, and respect as they work to improve their coordination, balance, and physical fitness. Students in this group are encouraged to develop better communication skills, self-confidence, and the ability to follow more complex instructions. This stage is crucial for establishing a solid foundation in Jiu-Jitsu while also enjoying friendly competition and specific training drills
Teens (Ages 10-15)
The Teens program is designed for students who are ready to build a strong Jiu-Jitsu foundation. Here, we focus on refining techniques, improving sparring skills, and helping teens manage their emotions and stay composed under pressure. In addition to technical development, students enhance their communication skills in a beginner-friendly environment. Our program challenges them both physically and mentally, enabling them to cultivate the discipline and focus needed for success in competition or personal growth. We provide a supportive atmosphere where teens can progress at their own pace, ensuring a smooth transition into adult training when the time comes
