OUR PROGRAM

The Gracie Barra Calgary After School Program is a great alternative to traditional after school care. Our certified instructors not only encourage a healthy life style but also provide a positive environment for children to learn the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu alongside their peers.

Our program has been designed to assist parents in providing the tools and skills each child needs to overcome daily obstacles. Whether this involves being bullied at school, feeling peer pressure from friends, lacking focus with schoolwork, or experiencing low self-esteem, the Gracie Barra Calgary After School Program focuses on self-improvement through the principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Each day children have the chance to develop confidence through the skills our instructors teach, in an environment in which they can utilize their energy. Our instructors emphasize the importance of a healthy mind and body through daily martial art classes and customized leadership activities.
