About

Our Program

The Gracie Barra Anti-bullying Program is extremely efficient and effective against bullying for children between the ages of 4 and 12 years.

We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and various nonviolent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted.

It’s important to point out that we don’t teach you how to throw a punch or kick, as this usually does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based withholdings of control to neutralize threats without violence.

As a result, your child will be prepared to defend himself physically and emotionally against bullies.
