By Invitation only!

We invite children who excel in the Junior Grapplers program to join the Black Belt Club. This is our most advanced you Jiu-Jitsu program and joining the Black Belt Club is the highest honour for any youth Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Kids in this program possess all the traits necessary for success on the path to black belt: discipline, respect, courage, leadership, loyalty and compassion.

Fight Fire With Water

Most martial arts programs rely on striking the attacker with violent punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. The Gracie Bullyproof program takes a different approach. All the techniques taught are purely defensive and utilize no strikes.

Furthermore, we teach children how to defuse confrontations with words and never to initiate physical aggression. If attacked, we offer techniques to non-violently neutralize the threat and gain control until help arrives. In the Gracie Bullyproof program, we teach the children how to fight fire with water so that you never have to worry about your child becoming a bully under our guidance.

Discover why Gracie Bullyproof® is recognized worldwide.

Critical Confidence

Bullying is a major cause of low self-esteem in children, with fewer than 15% reporting experiences. Victims often fear for their safety, which prevents them from standing up to their bullies despite wanting to. The challenge is to build confidence in these victims, enabling them to confront their tormentors. The solution lies in teaching self-defence, empowering them to face their attackers

If physically attacked, defend yourself.

If verbally attacked, follow the Three T-steps (talk, tell, tackle).

Never punch or kick the bully, establish control and negotiate.

When applying submissions use minimal force and negotiate.

Gracie Character Development Program

Our instructors build strong bonds with every student, especially youth practitioners, to help develop their character for success. The Gracie Character Development Program covers six chapters: Responsibility, Health, Respect, Citizenship, Manners, and Caring, with two months dedicated to each. We discuss these traits in every class and use a unique-based reward system tied to Gracie Game Day, where students can earn patches for their uniforms and enjoy games with instructors. This system encourages positive behaviour at home and school, making Gracie Game Night a fun event that even parents to join!
