Little Champions 1 (Ages 6–7) for Parkland Kids

Age-appropriate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for early elementary kids — discipline, focus, and the first real techniques.

Little Champions 1 is where Parkland children ages six and seven encounter the Gracie Barra kids curriculum in earnest. Classes cover fundamental takedowns, positional control, escapes, and age-appropriate self-defense in a structured format. The Gracie Barra belt-and-stripe system gives this age group something concrete to work toward, and the progress is visible — children arrive home from class eager to show what they learned. Many Parkland families who start children in Little Champions 1 stay through the Juniors program and into adult training, creating a long-term athletic identity built on consistent practice of a genuinely difficult skill.
