Gracie Bullyproof at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phoenix
Bullyproof® is our children's Gracie Jiu-Jitsu program at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phoenix, serving ages 5 to 13 at two locations in Phoenix. Character formation comes first. Physical skill follows from it. Character instruction is a documented curriculum, not an occasional talk. The Gracie Character Development Program runs six chapters across twelve months: Responsibility, Health, Respect, Citizenship, Manners, and Caring. A portion of every class is devoted to the current trait, focused on specific things a child can practice at home. Conduct is tracked through a point system, and children who earn enough points qualify for Gracie Game Day. Attendance is earned, not given. Our role is to reinforce what you are already teaching under your authority, not to substitute for it. We teach children to avoid a fight at all costs. Verbal de-escalation comes first, and we teach no striking of any kind. No punching, no kicking. If a child is physically attacked, they learn leverage-based control that keeps both children safe until an adult intervenes, and they learn precisely when a physical response is and is not warranted. Classes are age-grouped and taught by certified instructors following a sequenced, level-based curriculum with defined skill benchmarks and formal evaluations. Little Champs, ages 5 to 7, build coordination, listening, and confidence through structured play. Junior Grapplers, ages 8 to 13, develop technique, responsibility, communication, and leadership. Uniforms are required. Parents are welcome to observe every class. We are a registered ClassWallet vendor. ESA families can pay tuition directly through ClassWallet by searching for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phoenix. We also provide itemized invoices with student name, dates of service, program, and instructional detail for your records. Come in and join us for a free 10-day trial! FAQ - Does the curriculum contain a religious or spiritual content? Our curriculum contains no religious or spiritual content. There is no meditation, no chanting, and no Eastern spiritual instruction. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is taught here as a physical, mental, emotional, and character discipline.
