Gracie Barra kids training

Empowering Future Champions

Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

A Parent’s Ally in the Fight Against Bullying

At Gracie Barra Capalaba, we know that bullying can deeply affect a child’s confidence, wellbeing, and happiness. That’s why our Kids Program is designed not just to teach self-defence — but to build unshakable self-esteem, emotional resilience, and respectful leadership.

Our program empowers children aged 3 to 15 through the proven discipline of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), giving them the tools to stand tall, speak up, and face life’s challenges with calm confidence.

What Does It Take to Be a Champion?

True champions aren’t just strong — they’re respectful, disciplined, and confident. At Gracie Barra, our structured curriculum nurtures your child’s physical, mental, and emotional growth in a safe and encouraging environment.

Whether your family is in Capalaba, Brisbane, or nearby suburbs, our academy complements your parenting by reinforcing positive values your child can carry into every part of their life.

More Than Martial Arts — It’s a Life Education

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a sport. It's a mindset. On our mats, students learn:

How to stay calm under pressure
How to resolve and avoid conflict with confidence — not aggression
How to treat others with kindness, even in competition

As they progress, your child will improve their behaviour at home and school, build lasting friendships, and grow into someone who stands up — for themselves and for others.
