After everyone has settled in, an instructor will welcome them onto the mats. The jiu jitsu class ends at 4:45PM, after which children will have another opportunity to complete homework or unwind while they wait for pickup.

Things to know
How will the children get from school to the academy?
We provide safe and reliable transportation from local schools to our academy.
A professional, certified driver will pick up the children once school ends and bring them directly to Gracie Barra Ottawa East.

Upon arrival, children will have time to enjoy a snack, work on homework, read, or simply relax after school. We aim to provide a calm and supportive environment before class begins.

Students participate in a structured 45-minute martial arts class focused on self-defense and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our curriculum helps children build discipline, confidence, physical fitness, and respect in a positive and fun environment.
