Our program is structured similarly to our adult courses but includes modifications to suit different age groups. Jiu-Jitsu classes for children start with foundational skills and gradually build up to more advanced techniques. The curriculum is carefully crafted to instill important values such as routine, cooperation, and self-awareness.

Posted on Darline F (DFarbz)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been coming to Gracie Barra with Professor Lucas for 3 months. She has learned so much! Her self confidence and discipline has increased tremendously. Professor Lucas and Professor Bruna are both stern and kind to all the children. My daughter looks forward to coming to class every time! Highly recommend!Posted on Thiago AugustoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to my first class today and I am lost for words at how well I was treated. From the moment I arrived the kids was just ending and there were so many kids there and I loved the family friendly environment. Professor Lucas was so welcoming, he gave me so much attention, was super receptive, he toured me around the gym, introduced me to all of the members who were present and truly made me feel at home. I have been training BJJ ever since I was 8 years old, on and off and my father is a BJJ Black Belt. I have visited lots of gyms but none with the treatment and care that Gracie Barra Andover showed me. The facility is very nice, clean, and such a fun and uplifting environment. It was my first class and I already feel at home - I signed up and can't wait to continue training and getting to know more people. Professor Lucas explained everything so well and was great. I truly recommend Gracie Barra Andover to all families, kids, beginners, and even higher level belts.Posted on Heli SilvaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great school!! My kids love it! We go every dayPosted on Katherine CastroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had wonderful free trial experience and our children could not wait to become members and learn everything there is to know about Jiu-Jitsu. There were multiple instructors working with the group and making sure form and technique were well followed and applied. Safety first was obvious and a high priority. The children were respected and spoken to in an amicable but firm manner that demonstrated respect. They certainly lead by example. The space was clean and well kept, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this Dojo and its professors. In particular Professor Lucas.Posted on Rebeca Martins (beca)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My son attends the Jiu-Jitsu classes and the experience has been amazing! He gets super excited for every training session, loves the classes, and always asks when the next one will be. It’s wonderful to see his enthusiasm and how he’s learning, having fun, and improving.
