Jiu-Jitsu Classes for Kids
Our Gracie Bullyproof classes are perfect martial arts classes for children. With a blend of highly effective martial arts techniques, education and lots of fun, your child will love our kid’s jiu-jitsu classes just as much as we love teaching them!
Martial Arts Fun
We keep our classes active and entertaining, as we believe all education should be fun! Students will experience interactive warm ups and short educational discussions sometimes based on their own experiences. The techniques phase is where the real training happens, we make this more exciting by adding fun challenges and games!
Anti Bullying
Our goal is to provide anti bullying skills and instill your child with unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. Due to the non-violent nature of the techniques, CNN, ABC, NBC, and Oprah have featured the Gracie Bullyproof programme as one of the few effective counter-measures to bullying. We are very proud to be delivering this amazing anti bullying training for children here in Leeds.

BJJ, MMA and UFC
These self defence lessons set strong foundations for sport BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) and MMA (Mixed martial Arts).

Self Defence for Women
Women’s Defence Tactics is an incredible self-defence programme for women based on the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In this 15-lesson programme, we will teach you how to neutralize the 20 most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground by a weapon-bearing assailant.
Each one-hour Women’s Defence Tactics lesson addresses two techniques. You can start the programme at any time and participate in any class without previous experience.
Unlike most self-defence systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in this programme employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.
