For Our Youth:
With self-confidence, a child can do anything and without it every task is a burden because they question their potential every step of the way.Bulling is considered by many to be the leading cause of low self-confidence and the problem is that although nearly every child experiences it, less than 15% of them actually report it.  In most cases, bullies will persist as long as they feel that the other children are scared of them, and the longer the bullying lasts, the greater the psychological damage will be on the victim.  The only guarantedd way for children to prevent bullies from targeting them is to stand up for themselves.  The objective at Our Academy is to teach the children how to defuse the situation with words, how to stand up for themselves, and ultimately how to defeat bullies head on when a situation calls for it.  Along with increased self-confidence, children develop greater discipline and respect for our fun and controlled class.
Within the Gracie Family, the children are started in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at such a young age, and taught in such a fun relaxed way, that they hardly realize the importance of the process. This is precisely what we try to do with the kids in the program. Our initial objective is to befriend each and every child and to make every class a fun experience, this way the children will enjoy attending class every week. In this program, the children aquire skills to defend themselves against bullies as well as perfect the techniques that will serve as the foundation for their success in the program.
