Gracie Bullyproof Builds Unshakable Confidence So Your Child Can Overcome Bullies Without Violence
______________
Every month in the United States, three million children miss school due to fear of bullies. We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe.
Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence.

The Gracie Difference
Building a Strong Foundation for a Lifelong Journey

1. Critical Confidence
Increased Awareness: We teach your child to know the difference between “joking” and “bullying” so they know when and how to act in each situation.
Unshakeable Confidence: A confident child is a Bullyproof child. Bullies seek “easy targets” – those who will not stand up to their abuse. We arm your child with the tools they need to overcome physical, verbal, and psychological harassment.
Total Responsibility: We prepare your child to deal with bullies without turning them into one. We emphasize discipline, responsibility, and respect throughout our kids martial arts program. We teach the 5 “Rules of Engagement” to make sure they never abuse their power.

2. Verbal Jiu-Jitsu Training
One of the most pervasive and damaging forms of bullying is verbal harassment. Gracie Bullyproof is the kids’ jiu-jitsu program that makes “Verbal Jiu-Jitsu,” part of it’s regular curriculum.
We’ve devised a series of role-playing exercises to teach kids how to identify and manage the common scenarios associated with verbal harassment and bullying.
Gracie Bullyproof students are taught how to speak assertively when necessary, but they also learn how to use direct eye contact and confident posture to deter bullies from targeting them.

3. "Push Teaching" vs. "Pull Teaching"
All the self-defense techniques are presented in the form of “jiu-jitsu” games so that kids are highly excited about learning them.
When a child makes a mistake, we don’t focus on the error. Instead, we emphasize what a child did correctly. Through positive reinforcement, we help the kids reach their full potential without jeopardizing their love for the art.

A fun workout that gets results!

Will my child become a bully?Through our work, we have seen that confident kids make kinder kids. We teach children how to not only stand up to bullies for themselves, but how to stand up for others. In the Gracie Bullyproof program, we go over the Rules of Engagement, which teaches children to avoid the fight if at all possible by first using their words, and then by telling an adult. For cases where they do need to resort to physical self-defense, the Gracie Bullyproof program does not teach children punches or kicks, but rather to neutralize, defend, control, and negotiate if possible. Kids martial arts classes for a better, kinder world.
-
Are parents allowed to watch?We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! Even better… you can join in our martial arts classes for adults, and have yet another thing in common with your child. We love seeing the bond of families who train together!

Karate classes vs BJJ classes - Which is better?Many parents ask, what’s the difference between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Karate classes? While we believe all martial-arts have value, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has not only been proven to be the most effective martial art for a smaller person to defend themselves in a real fight for nearly a century, it also can be the most gentle. We don’t want our kids or students turning into bullies themselves, and we also believe self-defense should be scalable, depending on the situation. Whereas kids Karate lessons or Taekwondo classes rely solely on landing punches and kicks, jiu-jitsu for kids focuses on neutralizing a threat with verbal boundaries, distance management, body control, and eventual negotiation.
