Jr. Grapplers & Anti-Bullying Classes
Ages 6–9 | Boys & Girls
Build Confidence. Develop Discipline. Learn to Be BullyProof.
Give your child the skills and confidence to navigate life's challenges with our Jr. Grapplers program at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Brooklyn PTA – Pedro Sauer Team!
Designed for boys and girls aged 6–9, this program introduces children to the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through structured instruction, engaging activities, and age-appropriate self-defence training.
At this age, children are developing independence, social skills, and a stronger understanding of the world around them. Our program helps them build confidence, learn self-control, and develop the physical and mental skills to handle challenging situations responsibly.
What Will Your Child Learn?
🥋 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals
Learn essential grappling movements, positional control, escapes, and age-appropriate self-defence techniques in a structured learning environment.
🛡️ Anti-Bullying & Self-Defence

🤝 Respect, Discipline & Teamwork
Practise listening, following instructions, respecting training partners, and working together towards shared goals.
🧠 Problem-Solving & Self-Control
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches children to think under pressure, make decisions, remain calm, and understand that physical skills must always be used responsibly.
Will Jiu-Jitsu Make My Child Aggressive?
Our goal is to build confident, respectful children—not bullies.
We teach children that martial arts skills come with responsibility. They learn to avoid unnecessary confrontations, use their words, walk away when possible, and seek adult assistance when needed.
Physical techniques are taught for appropriate self-defence, not for showing off, intimidating classmates, or starting fights.
Our program is designed to teach real-world self-defense while building character, discipline, and leadership skills.
