Why Kids Love Training at Gracie Barra Agoura Jiu-Jitsu Hills | Phone Number: +1 805-800-9681

Children enjoy training at Gracie Barra Agoura because the program is designed to be fun, engaging, and rewarding. The instructors, led by Professor Jaeson Bianchi, understand how to balance discipline with enjoyment.

Here is a breakdown of why kids love it.

1. It’s Fun (Gamified Learning)

For the youngest students (Little Champions), BJJ is disguised as play.

 Games: Drills are turned into games like “Crazy Horse” (balance) or “Bulldog” (agility). Kids are exercising and learning technique without realizing it.

 Movement: Kids love to move. The warm-ups involve bear crawls, crab walks, and rolls, which are far more exciting than standing still.

2. Earning Stripes (Achievement)

Kids love tangible rewards.

 The Stripe System: Gracie Barra uses a frequent stripe promotion system for kids. Earning a stripe on their belt gives them a sense of accomplishment and visual proof of their progress.

 Attendance Cards: Kids get to check in and see their attendance grow, gamifying the process of showing up.

3. Making Friends (The Tribe)

The academy becomes a second home.

 Teamwork: Partner drills require cooperation. Kids make friends quickly because they have to trust and help each other.

 Inclusive: The “Red Shield” culture means everyone wears the same uniform. There are no cool kids or outcasts; everyone is a teammate.

4. They Feel Strong (Confidence)

 Real Skills: Unlike some sports where kids sit on the bench, in BJJ, every kid participates 100% of the time. They learn techniques that actually work against bigger opponents, which makes them feel powerful and confident.
