Love this place. My daughter struggled to find a sport she enjoyed (dance, gymnastics, soccer) and we finally tried Jiu Jitsu at Gracie Barra. She goes 2x a week, LOVES it, looks forward to going, often wants to go early and stay late. Her self confidence has increased significantly, as has her independence. 😍 Highly recommend!

Both my boys aged 4 & 6 have been with Gracie Barra Lake Country for just over two years and they love it. The after school pickup is great as it gave my 6 year old a sense of independence and now after watching his big brother the little bro is excited to join him in the new year. Trenell and Professor (Andar) are so good with all the kids in the program, they are patient, understanding and make it fun but also set the expectation which is invaluable for their development. Since attending my boys have shown self discipline qnd reaping the benefit of consistent work and training. Most importantly training with a team/ partner as well as independently has instilled awareness and restraint in all the kids (especially the unruly ones lol). They love going to class and always leave with a sense of accomplishment. Thx Professor and Trenell!

Professor Andar and Coach Trenell lead a disciplined, fun and educational class. The kids learn something new and foundational during each session. There are different options for class times, which is helpful for scheduling multiple kids’ activities. I would encourage any parent to give this academy a try.

After trying different martial arts programs, we finally found the perfect place!! Our 10yrs old son learned not only Ju-Jitsu but also acquired mental strength through the program. Really appreciate Professor Andar and Trenelle's continuous support especially when our son goes through challenging times. We are happy to see he is always engaged in every activities they offer and having fun with other students! Grateful for having such a great program with pick up service right after school in Lake Country where the after school care is limited.

Discipline and Respect Through Jiu-Jitsu

Jiu-Jitsu teaches kids the invaluable lessons of discipline and respect, unlike any other martial art. Indeed, these traits require dedicated training and awareness, as they are not innate but rather developed over time. Furthermore, these attributes extend far beyond the dojo, enriching every part of a child’s life.

Learning and Respect in Education

The respect for learning that Jiu-Jitsu instills in children is comparable to the appreciation they gain for their educational journey. Similarly, by valuing the fundamentals of education, children learn to enjoy and embrace the learning process. As a result, this respect for learning translates into greater respect for teachers and authority figures, potentially enhancing their academic and future career paths.

Confidence Through Self-Defense

The ability to defend oneself is a critical skill, often underestimated in its importance. For instance, understanding self-defense techniques boosts a child’s confidence significantly. Moreover, Jiu-Jitsu provides a balanced approach, combining sport and self-defense techniques applicable in real-world situations.

Enhancing Body Awareness and Coordination

Developing coordination and body awareness from a young age has profound, lasting benefits. For example, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s individual movements and sequences improve flexibility and body awareness. Consequently, children gain skills that benefit not just in Jiu-Jitsu but across all sports and daily activities.

  • Trial Class Attire: A t-shirt is perfectly fine for your first class but can become warm under a Jiu-Jitsu Gi.
  • Preferred Gear: A rash-guard is the ideal choice, thanks to its thinner, more breathable fabric. Most of our students opt for a rash guard for comfort and functionality.
  • For New Students: Don’t worry about gear; we’ll provide a Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu Gi for you to use during your class.
