Adult BJJ for Selma 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

Selma adults running between Retama Park, the Forum, and the I-35 commute have a 6:30 PM Mon/Wed/Fri adult class waiting twelve minutes north. Gracie Barra Cibolo's GB1 fundamentals progression takes complete beginners from their first day through a structured belt and stripe system — no athletic prerequisites, no contract. Professor Edgar leads every adult session himself, and live training rounds let experienced grapplers from Crossing at Retama Center or Lookout Canyon Creek develop a real game. Saturday 10 AM is the lighter weekend option for shift workers and parents juggling kids' Saturday 9 AM class. Your first class is always free.

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.
Where can Selma residents take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes?
Selma has no dedicated BJJ academy, so most residents drive to Schertz, Universal City, or San Antonio. Gracie Barra Cibolo is 12 minutes north — take FM 1103 from The Forum at Olympia Parkway and you'll reach 2251 FM 1103 Suite 106 in Cibolo Valley Square. Families from Crossing at Retama Center, Lookout Canyon Creek, and The Summit at Retama Park train with us because there's no closer black-belt-led program. We have free parking, classes six days a week, and your first class is free — no contract required.
Are there self-defense classes near Selma, TX?
Yes. Gracie Barra Cibolo offers BJJ-based self-defense — private lessons, small groups, and women-only sessions — 12 minutes from Selma via FM 1103. Our self-defense program is grounded in real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not one-time seminar choreography. That matters for residents commuting through the I-35 / Loop 1604 interchange or working late shifts at the retail corridor near The Forum. Professor Edgar has 15 years on the mat under Master 'Tussa' Alencar and teaches every session himself. Call (830) 205-3222 to set up a private intro — first class is free.
