Gracie Barra Kids

Introduce your child to Jiu-Jitsu and help them build confidence, discipline, respect, focus, physical ability, and essential self-defence skills - all in a safe and supportive environment. By practicing Jiu-Jitsu, children learn valuable skills they wouldn’t develop from other sports.

Empowering Kids Through Jiu-Jitsu

At Gracie Barra, Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art - it’s a path to confidence, resilience, and respect. Through structured training, kids learn focus, discipline, and how to overcome challenges.

In a safe, supportive environment, our certified instructors help students build strength, coordination, and essential life skills. Surrounded by a strong sense of team and belonging, they become part of a global family - growing on and off the mats.

By practising Jiu-Jitsu, children learn valuable skills they wouldn’t develop from other sports - like staying calm under pressure, using technique over strength, and solving problems with focus and confidence.

Reviews

  • This place is amazing! The professors are super knowledgeable and make you feel welcome no matter your skill level. The atmosphere is supportive, and everyone is there to help you improve. Highly recommend!
  • Fantastic inclusive gym! My kids have grown in skill and confidence thanks to the knowledgeable coaches. Highly recommend GB Blacktown for both kids and adults looking to learn jiu-jitsu.
  • We absolutely love Gracie Barra Blacktown! My 4 year old looks forward to every single class and has so much fun while learning. The coaches are amazing with the kids, patient, and really know how to bring out the best in them. The community here is so welcoming, supportive, and family oriented, it really feels like being part of one big family. It’s such a positive environment and the perfect place for our boy to use up his energy in a healthy, structured, and rewarding way. We’ve seen his confidence grow so much since starting. We couldn’t recommend Gracie Barra Blacktown enough for any families looking to get their kids into jiu-jitsu!
  • Beautiful facilities, first class instructors. If you're wanting to learn jiu jitsu, competitor or regular hobbyist. This is the gym for you. Perfect for families. Great vibe. They have built a great community.
  • The best place of business, for mental and physical growth. This place is welcoming with open arms, the community is unstoppable with the way they build the youth up from generation to generation. I 100percent recommend this place, it will change your life forever.
  • I attend the women’s only classes at Gracie Barra Blacktown and have learnt so much, I have developed a different kind of mental strength and discipline. The professors are all so kind, welcoming and create a safe space for everyone. Professor Sheryll and Coach Maiah always are so supportive throughout the women’s classes. As a woman constantly looking to grow, choosing to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was one of the best choices I’ve made. I have been able to meet so many likeminded people and feel very lucky to be a part of this community. I recommend their classes for women looking to build confidence and discipline.
  • GB Blacktown is perfect for all ages! My daughter loved it, so my son and I joined too. Two years later, we’re still training. Great culture, supportive coaches—only regret is not starting sooner!
  • I would like to thank Professor David for his clear, comforting, and family-like conversation during my very first call to Gracie Barra Blacktown. That call alone made me choose this centre over others in the area. Our journey began when my elder son, who is now in Year 3, was being bullied back in early days in school. I felt that learning martial arts would help him gain confidence and learn how to stand up for himself in a positive way. After reaching out to several martial arts schools, I ended up enrolling him at Gracie Barra Blacktown City and I’m so glad I did. Since joining, my son has become more confident, more open, and genuinely enjoys being part of this warm, supportive community. Huge thanks to Professor David and his amazing family team who go above and beyond to create a family-friendly and community-focused environment. A special shout out to Professor ICY as well — your dedication and the way you push the students to be their best is amazing. The collaboration between the team truly makes this campus stand out. Best wishes to the entire Gracie Barra Blacktown family. We’re excited for our younger one to start his Jujutsu journey soon too!
