"Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn’t blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won’t cheat, then you know he never will." – John D. MacDonald
At Gracie Humaitá Jiu-Jitsu Barrie, we believe that integrity is about leading by example. In our kids’ Jiu-Jitsu classes in Barrie, we teach students that real leaders don’t just talk about values—they live by them. Integrity is shown through honesty, responsibility, and reliability.
In Jiu-Jitsu, integrity means being accountable. If you make a mistake, you admit it and learn from it. If you set a goal, you work hard and stay committed until you achieve it. Integrity is about staying true to your word and proving you’re dependable through consistent effort and respect for others.
We also teach that integrity means showing respect and humility. Whether you’re helping a beginner, supporting a teammate, or learning from a loss, true character is revealed through your actions. At Gracie Humaitá Jiu-Jitsu Barrie, we encourage students to be role models both on and off the mats.
