• “My child is getting picked on because they are too shy and quiet.”
• “My child never gets to participate because they aren’t the star athlete.”
• “My child has a lot of energy but they are not focused and disciplined.”
• “My child is very smart but just doesn’t have the confidence I wish they had.”
• “I want to give my child the ability to protect themselves when I’m not around.”

If so, then what are you waiting for to give your child the tools to overcome these obstacles? Studies have shown time and again the martial arts training provides the confidence, discipline, focus and self-development to overcome all of those challenges listed above.

At Gracie Barra Burton Kids Martial Arts, we offer classes for children as young as 3 years old in our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program. While many of our students come to us who are excellent athletes that want to learn the incredible skills of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, most are brought to us by parents concerned about the very same thing YOU are concerned about that we have listed above. Not only are we trying to develop martial arts techniques, we are working on developing strong, confident, respectful children that can defend themselves and eventually, support others. Just look at some of our results in our “Success Stories”.

QUITE SIMPLY: MARTIAL ARTS CHANGES LIVES, and it’s exciting for instructors and parents alike to see those changes occurring almost immediately in kids once they enter our program. From our students who just didn’t feel like they fit in anywhere that now have a place to call home, to those who needed more confidence and to get out of their shells who now stand up in front of the team leading exercises, to those who have developed a powerful self-defense system to defend themselves against bullying, we have changed many of our student’s lives for the better. Let us help YOU help your child. Parents are pulled in all different directions now-a-days and can’t do it all. Let our community of martial arts practitioners assist. At Gracie Barra Kids Martial Arts we give your children the opportunity to develop their mind and body, build confidence, and become strong, respectful citizens that any parent would be proud of.
