As a parent, you want to know your child can protect themselves and make smart decisions. At Gracie Barra, we’ve spent over 30 years developing a world-class Jiu-Jitsu program that teaches children practical self-defence in a safe and supportive environment. Our instructors guide students through techniques that build awareness, confidence, and discipline, ensuring they can navigate everyday situations with strength and composure.
Jiu-Jitsu is more than just another after-school activity – it’s a fun, engaging way to stay active while developing essential life skills. Unlike traditional sports, Jiu-Jitsu works the entire body, improving coordination, flexibility, strength, and endurance. At the same time, it trains the mind to stay focused, patient, and determined – helping children excel in both academics and athletics.
Jiu-Jitsu introduces children to problem-solving under pressure, helping them build resilience, critical thinking, and the ability to adapt to new challenges. Every class presents opportunities for growth, teaching kids how to overcome obstacles, set goals, and stay committed – lessons that carry over into school, sports, and life.
At Gracie Barra, we believe that strong values and a supportive environment are key to your child’s success. Our classes emphasise respect, teamwork, and discipline, fostering an environment where kids feel welcome, encouraged, and motivated to do their best. As a parent, you’ll also become part of a network of families who support each other – both on and off the mats. Plus, as a member of Gracie Barra, you’ll have access to over 1,000 schools worldwide, so your child can continue their training wherever life takes them.
Gracie Barra is one of the most trusted names in martial arts today. Our values, commitment to excellence and dedication to Jiu-Jitsu have set us apart as a leader in the Nottinghamshire martial arts community. Gracie Barra is no ordinary martial arts organisation.

We promote a holistic perspective to Jiu-Jitsu, including physical and mental wellness.
