The Tiny Champions programme is a structured introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu designed specifically for children aged 3–4.

At this stage, the focus is on building:

• Listening and focus
• Balance and coordination
• Confidence in a group setting
• Respect and positive behaviour
• Comfort on the mats

Classes are delivered using the age-appropriate Gracie Barra methodology, combining movement-based learning with fundamental Jiu-Jitsu concepts in a safe and encouraging environment.

Students attend a registered class day to build routine and consistency. As they develop in confidence and maturity, they transition naturally into our GB Kids programme from age 5.

Official Gracie Barra uniform is required and available to purchase separately.

Minimum 2-month commitment.
2-month written notice required to cancel.
