Adult BJJ for Schertz Residents

You don't need experience. You don't need to be in shape. You just need to walk through the door. Our adult classes follow the proven Gracie Barra curriculum, taught by Professor Edgar — a black belt with 15 years of mat time under Master Roberto 'Tussa' Alencar. Morning or evening, first day or hundredth — every class meets you where you are.

First Class Free Call (830) 205-3222

Schertz adults working downtown San Antonio or out at JBSA-Randolph have a 6:30 PM Adults & Teens class waiting on Mon/Wed/Fri, plus Saturday at 10 AM for a slower-paced weekend session. The Gracie Barra GB1 fundamentals progression welcomes complete beginners — no athletic background required — while live training rounds give experienced grapplers room to develop their game. Professor Edgar leads every session personally; you won't get a colored belt covering a shift. From Mesa Oaks or Thistle Creek, the seven-minute drive on FM 1103 is shorter than most Schertz commutes home. Your first class is free. Call (830) 205-3222 to reserve a spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have no martial arts experience — can I start adult BJJ?
Yes. The majority of adults who start at Gracie Barra Cibolo have zero experience. The GB1 Fundamentals class is designed specifically for that. Professor Edgar breaks down every technique into clear steps, and you train with partners who know how to work with beginners. Nobody expects you to know anything on day one — that is what the curriculum is for.
How often should I train as a beginner?
Two to three sessions per week is a strong starting point. Gracie Barra Cibolo offers adult classes throughout the week — mornings, midday, and evenings — so you have options. Consistency matters more than volume. Training twice a week and showing up every week will produce better results than training five days one week and disappearing the next. Professor Edgar can help you plan a schedule that fits your life.
Is there a Gracie Barra academy near Schertz, TX?
Yes. Gracie Barra Cibolo is the closest GB-branded academy to Schertz, about 7 minutes east on FM 1103 from the FM 3009 intersection. Brazilian Top Team Schertz holds the incumbent BJJ spot on the Schertz side of FM 3009, but GB Cibolo is the only Roberto 'Tussa' Alencar lineage school in the corridor. We're at 2251 FM 1103 Suite 106 in Cibolo Valley Square, sharing a lot with H-E-B and a short drive from Mesa Oaks, Thistle Creek, and the Schertz Family YMCA. First class is free — call (830) 205-3222 to book.
What's the closest kids Jiu-Jitsu class for Samuel Clemens High School families in Schertz?
Gracie Barra Cibolo runs kids classes 7 minutes from Samuel Clemens High School and Corbett Junior High. After-school groups are split by age — Tiny Champions (3-4), Little Champions I (5-6), Little Champions II and Juniors (7-13) — meeting Mon/Wed/Fri afternoons and Saturday at 9 AM. Parents from the Rose Garden Elementary feeder zone, Arroyo Verde, and Scenic Hills train their kids here because every adult and kids class is led by Professor Edgar, a 1st-degree black belt with 15 years on the mat. Drop them off after the bell and pick up before dinner.
