Kids Jiu-Jitsu for Schertz Families

Cibolo parents tell us the same things: 'I want my kid to be more confident,' 'I need them to focus,' 'I want them to be able to stand up for themselves.' That's exactly why our kids' program exists. Children age 3 through 13 train in age-specific groups — Tiny Champions, Little Champions I & II, and Juniors. For homeschool families, we run combined-age classes every Monday and Wednesday at 10 AM, so siblings can train together and the session counts toward homeschool physical education.

Schertz parents from Clemens, Corbett, and Rose Garden Elementary build BJJ into the after-school week without crossing FM 3009. Tiny Champions (ages 3-4) meet Tue/Thu at 4:45 PM. Little Champions I (5-6), Little Champions II (7-9), and Juniors (10-13) run Mon/Wed/Fri afternoons in age-specific groups, plus a combined Saturday 9 AM session. The Gracie Barra kids curriculum builds focus, listening, anti-bullying skills, and real Jiu-Jitsu technique through belt-and-stripe progression — the same structure used at GB schools worldwide. Bus-route timing from Schertz schools fits the 4:45 and 5:30 PM start blocks comfortably. First class free.

Why Kids Love BJJ

01

Age-specific groups so a four-year-old isn't lost among nine-year-olds — every child trains at their own developmental level

02

Mon/Wed 10 AM homeschool classes — combined-age sessions where siblings train together and the curriculum logs as PE

03

Anti-bullying skills grounded in real grappling, not theory — children learn to handle physical conflict with calm composure

04

Better focus at home and in school — parents notice the change in how their child listens, follows directions, and finishes tasks

05

A measurable belt-and-stripe progression that teaches goal-setting, patience, and the value of showing up consistently

06

A safer alternative to most contact sports — no striking, no head impact, every drill supervised by a black belt

Frequently Asked Questions

What age can my child start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra Cibolo?
Gracie Barra Cibolo offers kids classes for children ages 3 through 15. Classes are divided into age-appropriate groups so younger children train with peers their own size, and older kids are challenged at the right level. Professor Edgar and the coaching staff tailor every session to each age group's physical and social development.
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu safe for kids?
Safety is the foundation of every kids class at Gracie Barra Cibolo. Professor Edgar runs a structured warm-up, teaches controlled technique drills, and supervises all live training. There is no striking in BJJ — the focus is on leverage and positioning, which makes it one of the safest martial arts for children. Our mats, equipment, and instructor-to-student ratios are designed to keep every child protected while they learn.
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.
