Kids Program

The focus on our kids program is fun, fitness and to teach them effective self defense techniques.
Traditional martial arts such as Karate, Tae Kwan Do, etc., respectively have their place, however, learning to break wood boards and practicing flying, spinning kicks in the air are not practical in real life situations.
The Carlson Gracie Team's goal is to train our students using a realistic approach to self defense. Ask your child...What if an attacker or bully was sitting on top of you? What if you ended up on top of him? What if someone was choking you? What if they were bigger and stronger than you? Would you possess the  techniques to subdue your aggressor? Techniques that may save your life?
The Carlson Gracie Kids Program is a full Mixed Martial Arts Program. Being a full MMA program means your child will be taught every discipline needed to become not only a full mixed martial artist, but they will also own the ability and confidence that will prepare them for any physical confrontation.
Our kids instructors are the same instructors that lead the Carlson Gracie Canada Fight Team. Although self defense is more the focus with our kids, you can be rest assured your child is getting the best of the best in teaching. Take a look at our instructors page to see our credentials.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Boxing, and Fitness is all part of the curriculum. In addition, your child will be graded using the strict Carlson Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Belt System. As your child progresses and starts to effectively learn our techniques, Master Marcus Soares will determine whether your child will advance to the next belt, or level which is distinguished by color or stripe.
The Carlson Gracie kids program is important in many ways... For self defense we can't be denied. For fitness because today's kids are not active enough. For fun because, after all, kids will be kids. And for confidence, which will affect them in all areas of life for the rest of their life.
