A BULLYPROOF CHILD IS A CONFIDENT CHILD -

Mat Munchkins

The Mat Munchkins program is for kids 3-5 years old.

This 30-minute class is full of fun games and simple techniques with the 

objective of building your child's confidence while getting them excited and ready for the 

transition into the Little Champs (Ages 5-7) classes. The Mat Munchkins class is scheduled every Monday (5:45-6:15PM).

Each child must be accompanied by a parent in each Mat Munchkins class. Since 

the children will only be doing the techniques/games with grownups, the parent does 

not need to enroll in a separate membership, but does need to have 

their own uniform/gi.  

 


Little Champs

The Little Champs program is for kids 5-7 years old.

Through our attention-grabbing curriculum, “Gracie Games”, we teach the Little Champs basic self-defense techniques that focus on leverage and control.

Our goal is to make class so fun that the kids are asking to come back to class before leaving the building!

 

Jr. Grapplers

The Jr. Grapplers program is for children 8-12 years old.

In the Jr. Grapplers, we focus on non-violent self-defense techniques that teach children to “neutralize and negotiate” with the bullies.

Within the Jr. Grapples program, we teach and emphasize the “3 T’s” (Talk, Tell, and Tackle).

The “3 T’s” help build confidence and verbal assertiveness when standing up to a bully.

A child needs absolutely no experience to start jiu jitsu and the perfect time to start is now!

The Gracie Difference

Building a Strong Foundation for a Lifelong Journey

1. Critical Confidence

Increased Awareness: We teach your child to know the difference between “joking” and “bullying” so they know when and how to act in each situation.

Unshakeable Confidence: A confident child is a Bullyproof child. Bullies seek “easy targets” – those who will not stand up to their abuse. We arm your child with the tools they need to overcome physical, verbal, and psychological harassment.

Total Responsibility: We prepare your child to deal with bullies without turning them into one. We emphasize discipline, responsibility, and respect throughout our kids martial arts program. We teach the 5 “Rules of Engagement” to make sure they never abuse their power.

2. Verbal Jiu-Jitsu Training

One of the most pervasive and damaging forms of bullying is verbal harassment. Gracie Bullyproof is the kids' jiu-jitsu program that makes “Verbal Jiu-Jitsu,” part of its regular curriculum.

We’ve devised a series of role-playing exercises to teach kids how to identify and manage the common scenarios associated with verbal harassment and bullying.

Gracie Bullyproof students are taught how to speak assertively when necessary, but they also learn how to use direct eye contact and confident posture to deter bullies from targeting them.

3. “Push” vs “Pull” Teaching

All the self-defense techniques are presented in the form of “jiu-jitsu” games so that kids are highly excited about learning them.

When a child makes a mistake, we don’t focus on the error. Instead, we emphasize what a child did correctly. Through positive reinforcement, we help the kids reach their full potential without jeopardizing their love for the art.
