Give your child more than just a martial art. At Gracie Barra Hunter Valley, our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program helps children aged 5–15 build confidence, discipline, respect and resilience in a safe, structured and family-friendly environment.

Along the way, children improve fitness, coordination, focus, teamwork and problem-solving skills while making new friends and having fun. Our Kids Program Includes: Confidence and self-esteem Practical self-defence skills Improved fitness, balance and coordination Focus, discipline and respect Teamwork and resilience A positive, supportive community Age-Specific Classes Little Champions (5–9 years) – Fun, engaging classes that develop confidence, coordination and the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Whether your child is new to martial arts or looking for a positive, active sport, Gracie Barra Hunter Valley provides a welcoming environment where every student can thrive.
Empowering Kids Through Jiu-Jitsu
At Gracie Barra, Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art - it’s a path to confidence, resilience, and respect. Through structured training, kids learn focus, discipline, and how to overcome challenges.
In a safe, supportive environment, our certified instructors help students build strength, coordination, and essential life skills. Surrounded by a strong sense of team and belonging, they become part of a global family - growing on and off the mats.
By practising Jiu-Jitsu, children learn valuable skills they wouldn’t develop from other sports - like staying calm under pressure, using technique over strength, and solving problems with focus and confidence.
