Belt promotions at Gracie Barra aren't based on how long you've paid dues — they're earned. Our instructors evaluate three key factors: minimum time at rank, minimum attendance, and coach evaluation. This is how the GB promotion system works.

Our kids' BJJ program in Davenport is one of the most complete in Central Florida — structured by age group and taught by certified Gracie Barra instructors. Tiny Champs (3–5), Little Champs (6–9), and Juniors (10–13) each get age-appropriate training that builds confidence, discipline, and real self-defense skills.
