Jiu-Jitsu

At Gracie Barra Livonia, we provide more than just a martial art. Our classes focus on technique, practical self-defense, physical fitness, and creating a sense of unity. Our classes are open to all in the Livonia area, so anyone can come together and practice with assurance.

It can be difficult for children to handle the pressures of school, making friends, and dealing with bullies. At Gracie Barra Livonia, we want to be a place that provides a break from these struggles. Our program is designed to help build up kids' self-confidence in a way that no other activity can. Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, children are challenged to go beyond their comfort zones and learn new skills, such as self-defense and conflict avoidance. With our guidance and support, kids can enter our program feeling shy and insecure, and leave as confident martial artists.

All parents wish to provide the best for their child. Our Kids Martial Arts programs at Gracie Barra Livonia can help your child develop strength, coordination, self-assurance, and leadership abilities, as well as teach them the importance of striving for achievable objectives.

We are providing an opportunity for students of all ages and skill levels in Livonia to explore their interest in martial arts, and we would be delighted to discuss how we can make a difference in your child's life.

At Gracie Barra Livonia, we understand that having a good time and adhering to rules go together. To create outstanding martial artists, we must show them the significance of good conduct. So, how is discipline implemented in BJJ? Practicing discipline in our school is about closely following your teacher's instructions, being silent during class, having a positive outlook from the moment you come into our facility, and taking responsibility for your behavior. After all, you can't master a technique if you're too busy chatting with your buddy!

BJJ is an excellent way to help kids stay focused and channel their energy in a productive way. At Gracie Barra Livonia, we believe that Jiu Jitsu can help instill focus in children. Through our classes, we strive to take the energy that kids have and use it to teach them valuable techniques and life lessons. We strive to help each student gain the discipline and focus needed to succeed in the martial arts and in life.

Martial arts offer a unique benefit that other sports cannot compete with – the importance of respect. Respect for oneself and for others is ingrained in all aspects of martial arts. At Gracie Barra Livonia, students show respect for their instructor at the start and end of each class, accept constructive criticism in a positive way, always strive to do their best, and cheer on their peers and training partners.

At Gracie Barra Livonia, Juijitsu is a great environment to achieve success, build self-confidence, and develop resilience. We provide the knowledge and techniques necessary to feel secure in your capacity to protect yourself from any danger. We drill and practice repeatedly to make sure your body and muscles can recall how to counter and ward off any assailant.

We don't want to give the wrong impression; Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a blast! But it also requires effort. We want our students to understand the value of perseverance, even when they become exhausted or can't seem to master a move. There is no greater feeling than setting a goal and achieving it! It could be earning an orange belt, smashing a board, or mastering a new technique - our team is here to help you reach your goals.

At Gracie Barra Livonia, students are taught to work together in order to build trust and cooperation. This includes assisting one another with board-breaking, target kicking, and sparring. Through this mutual support, students can practice and perfect various kicking techniques with their partners. As a result, a strong bond of friendship has been formed between members, helping them to achieve their goals.

At Gracie Barra Livonia, we prioritize the personal growth of our students over any awards or black belts. We believe in the power of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to transform the lives of children, and we are proud to be able to provide a safe and supportive environment for our young students to learn important life lessons, form positive relationships, and discover their passion for martial arts.
