Kids Martial Arts
Near Kissimmee, FL
Jiu-jitsu, MMA and Muay Thai for kids ages 3–13 at Gracie Barra Davenport. After-school classes run Monday to Friday, a short drive west of Kissimmee.
The tour is watch-only: come in, meet the coaches and watch a class from the side of the mat.
A class for every age group
Families from Kissimmee drive to Gracie Barra Davenport for one reason: a structured kids curriculum split by age, so a 4-year-old and a 12-year-old are never in the same class.
Every kids program starts with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the core of the Gracie Barra curriculum. From age 6, kids can also add MMA or Muay Thai.
- Tiny Champs (3–5): balance, coordination, listening and simple movement games on the mat.
- Little Champs (6–9): fundamentals, escapes and Friday No-Gi anti-bullying classes.
- Juniors (10–13): more technical jiu-jitsu, problem-solving and controlled live training.
- Kids MMA and Kids Muay Thai (6+): striking fundamentals taught with control and pads.

Kids classes run every weekday afternoon, so you can pick the days that fit school pickup and the drive home. Siblings in different age groups can often train on the same afternoon: Little Champs at 4:50 PM is followed by Juniors at 5:40 PM.
Classes follow the Gracie Barra kids curriculum, with belts and stripes to mark progress. Coaches focus on respect, listening and effort as much as on technique.
If your child is being bullied or is nervous about joining a team sport, the Friday No-Gi classes for Little Champs and Juniors focus on anti-bullying skills. You can read more in our guide to how jiu-jitsu helps with bullying.
