Welcome to Gracie Raleigh!
At Gracie Raleigh, we believe that martial arts is about so much more than just learning moves—it’s about building a foundation of confidence and character that lasts a lifetime. Our program is designed to be fun, safe,
and teach valuable skills. Our memberships are no commitment.
Here is a look at how we work with our younger students:
Little Champs (Ages 4–6)
We know that for this age group, "fun" is the secret ingredient! In our Little Champs classes, we use Gracie Games to teach basic Jiu-Jitsu
movements.
How it works: We turn technical drills into games like Spider-Kid or Shark Bite.
The Goal: Your child develops coordination, listening skills, and the ability to follow directions—all while having a total blast on the mats.
Juniors (Ages 7–12)
As kids get older, they need real-world tools to handle life’s challenges. Our Juniors program focuses on 33 non-violent self-defense techniques.
How it works: We teach our students how to use leverage and control to stay safe. Most importantly, we emphasize the Rules of Engagement: how to use their words to "Neutralize and Negotiate" before a situation ever becomes physical.
The Goal: To give your child the "quiet confidence" to stand up for themselves and others without ever needing to be the bully.
