By Gracie Barra Celebration · January 2026
If you live in Four Corners or Champions Gate and have been searching for martial arts classes for yourself or your family, the options in your immediate neighborhood are limited. The good news is that Gracie Barra Celebration — one of Central Florida's top-rated martial arts academies — is just a short drive away. Located at 1420 Celebration Blvd, Suite 108, Celebration, FL 34747, our academy is typically 10 to 15 minutes from most neighborhoods in Four Corners and Champions Gate.
We already have dozens of families from your area training with us. Here is why they chose Gracie Barra Celebration and what you can expect when you visit.
Programs Available for Four Corners and Champions Gate Families
Whether you are looking for kids classes, adult training, or a program the whole family can do together, we have you covered. Our membership gives you access to every program we offer — so you are not locked into one discipline.
Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Ages 3+)
Our kids program is divided into age-appropriate groups: Tiny Champs (ages 3+), Little Champs 1 (ages 4-8), and Little Champs 2 (ages 9-13). Each group has its own curriculum designed around the developmental needs of that age range. Kids learn real Jiu-Jitsu techniques while building discipline, confidence, coordination, and anti-bullying skills. The program is led by Professor Rodrigo Frezza and supported by Coach Ryan and Coach Marcello — all certified Gracie Barra instructors with extensive experience teaching children.
Adults Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Our adult BJJ program welcomes complete beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Classes cover the full range of Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals — takedowns, guard work, passing, sweeps, submissions, and self-defense applications. We offer both gi and no-gi training, and our class schedule includes morning, afternoon, and evening options to fit around your work and family commitments.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai classes teach striking using punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. It is an incredible workout and a highly effective martial art for self-defense. Our Muay Thai program is open to beginners and experienced strikers alike, with classes that progressively build your technique, timing, and conditioning.
MMA (Ages 14+)
Our MMA program combines striking, grappling, and wrestling into a complete mixed martial arts curriculum. It is available for teens and adults and does not require prior experience. Whether you want to compete or just want the most well-rounded martial arts training available, our MMA classes deliver.
Self-Defense
For those whose primary goal is practical self-defense rather than sport, we offer dedicated self-defense training. Classes focus on awareness, de-escalation, and physical techniques for real-world scenarios. This program is especially popular with women and parents who want their teens to be prepared.
Why Families from Four Corners Choose GB Celebration
Four Corners is a growing community, but the local options for quality martial arts instruction are sparse. Many families in the area have tried karate studios, taekwondo schools, or generic fitness-oriented programs and found them lacking in either quality, structure, or both. Here is what makes Gracie Barra Celebration different:
- World-class organization: Gracie Barra is one of the largest and most respected Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu organizations in the world, with over 900 schools across 6 continents. Our curriculum, instructor certification, and quality standards come from decades of refinement at the highest level.
- Qualified instructors: Professor Rodrigo Frezza brings nearly two decades of Gracie Barra experience to every class. He is supported by a team of certified coaches who are passionate about teaching and genuinely invested in each student's progress.
- Clean, professional facility: Our mats are cleaned to hospital-grade standards after every session. The academy is well-maintained, organized, and designed specifically for martial arts training — not a converted strip-mall space with minimal equipment.
- Community atmosphere: We maintain a 5.0 Google rating because the experience goes beyond just the classes. The relationships students build here — with coaches and with each other — create a supportive community that keeps people training long-term.
- Multi-discipline access: One membership covers BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, self-defense, and all kids programs. You are not paying separately for each discipline.
Why Champions Gate Families Are Making the Drive
Champions Gate has exploded in growth over the past several years, with new residential communities, retail, and restaurants. But quality martial arts options in Champions Gate itself remain limited. Families there have told us they tried closer options first but ended up at Gracie Barra Celebration because the instruction quality and community were on a completely different level.
The drive from most Champions Gate neighborhoods to our academy takes 10 to 15 minutes via US-192 — shorter than the drive many people make to their regular gym. And once you factor in the quality of instruction, the variety of programs, and the fact that your entire family can train in the same place, it becomes a no-brainer.
Cross-Location Access with GB Davenport
As a member of Gracie Barra Celebration, you also have access to our sister academy, GB Davenport. This is particularly convenient for families in Four Corners and Champions Gate because GB Davenport may actually be closer to some neighborhoods in your area, depending on where exactly you live. Having two locations gives you maximum scheduling flexibility — if you miss a class at one academy, you can often catch it at the other.
After-School and Step Up for Students
For families with school-age children, we offer an after-school martial arts program with school pick-up service from participating local schools. We are also an approved Step Up for Students provider, which means qualifying families can apply scholarship funds toward our program. These services have been a game-changer for working parents in Four Corners and Champions Gate who need reliable, productive after-school care for their kids.
