Tiny Champs Classes

First taste of mat life for our youngest students — play-based movement, listening skills, and the basics of safe wrestling.

Ages 3-5

Tiny Champions is Gracie Barra Coral Springs's foundational program for children ages three to five — an age group that learns through play, not instruction. The coaching staff builds every class around the developmental reality of preschool-age children: short attention spans, high energy, and a natural curiosity that needs structured channeling, not suppression. Classes use movement games, partner activities, and brief technique sequences to build the coordination, listening, and body awareness that make this age group ready for the Little Champions curriculum.

Every class follows a predictable structure that young children find reassuring: group warm-up, a brief technique or concept introduction, game-based drilling, and a closing activity. The repetition of this format creates a sense of routine and accomplishment that keeps three-to-five-year-olds engaged week after week. Parents consistently describe the Tiny Champions class as one of the few structured activities that holds their preschooler's attention for a full session.

The Gracie Barra curriculum at this level is designed to feel like play that happens to be building real skills. Children leave each class having practiced listening, taking turns, and responding to coaching instruction — all foundational social skills for kindergarten readiness. Tiny Champions students who attend consistently and transition into Little Champions 1 arrive with a head start in coordination, mat awareness, and the ability to follow classroom-style instruction.

No prior experience is needed, and no special equipment is required for the trial class. Comfortable athletic clothing is all your child needs for the first session. Call (954) 913-4786 to schedule your free trial class at our Margate location.

Why Train Tiny Champs?

  • Age-appropriate classes that teach coordination and listening through movement games — not adult-paced drilling
  • Kindergarten readiness skills built into every session: listening, taking turns, following directions from an instructor
  • Safe, padded training environment designed specifically for young children's size and developmental stage
  • Introduction to BJJ positions and partner work at a pace matched to preschool attention spans
  • Consistent class structure that preschoolers find reassuring — the format repeats so children know what's coming
  • Foundation for the Little Champions curriculum — Tiny Champions graduates arrive in LC1 ahead of peers who didn't train
