The Gracie Barra Boston’s Future Champions Program was created to provide children ages 3-15 with an environment that allows them to experience and understand core values around focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation and respect – all through the principles of BJJ teachings.
To excel in any endeavor, individuals need to have a strong set of values and a solid character that allows for perseverance and goal attainment. As a contact sport, Gracie Barra Boston’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides a very challenging yet safe and caring environment for a child to mature into a real life champion.
The outcome of continued childhood practice of GB BJJ goes far beyond the accomplishments on the mats. The discipline and excellence demanded by our instructors often carries over to the child’s behavior at home and at school.
What ages does the Gracie Barra Boston’s Future Champions Program support?
Our Future Champions Program is typically subdivided into three different groups to accommodate students of different ages and skill levels:

The first time you come to our school you will be welcomed by our staff. Please arrive 15 minutes before class so you and your children have enough time to prepare for practice. The class will start on time and your child will be asked to walk to the training area where the instructor will be waiting for him or her. One of the assistant instructors or a senior student will be assigned as a helper to assist your child in performing the drills and activities. Parents are encouraged to stay and watch the entire practice.
"There is no losing in Jiu-Jitsu. You either win or you learn."
