Gracie Barra Lake Park | Flórida

About

Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes split by age group, starting with Tiny Champions for kids 3-6 who learn basic movements through play, then Little Champions for 7-10 building fundamentals and discipline, and Juniors for 11-15 adding self-defense and fitness. Head Coach Bernardo trained at Gracie Barra headquarters in Rio and brings fifteen years of experience to a program known for strong community feel. Your kid can start with a trial class to see how they fit. Tiny Champions focuses on coordination and listening skills in a playful setup, while older kids progress through technique work and builds self-confidence alongside practical skills. The academy feels like a family rather than just a gym, which shows in how quickly visiting kids feel at home.
