Kids Jiu-Jitsu in Upland, CA
The Gracie Barra Upland Kids Program helps children and teens build confidence, discipline and focus through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, in a safe, clean and fun environment.
Skills your child takes off the mats
Children and teens of every skill level benefit from Kids Jiu-Jitsu classes at Gracie Barra Upland. The GB Kids Program teaches self-discipline and safety, and gives kids a positive way to express themselves while they grow in character.
Our instructors are trained to work with children and teens, offering clear guidance and gentle correction. Along the way, kids experience the values at the heart of Gracie Barra: friendship, integrity, discipline, self-control and respect.
Classes are structured like our adult program, adapted for each age range. They start with the fundamentals and build, class by class, a kind of “armor” of confidence and self-defense skills.
