Adult BJJ for Randolph Airmen and Civilians

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

Randolph-affiliated adults — active duty, civilian DoD, and retired military living in Hill Country Village or Northampton — have a 6:30 PM Mon/Wed/Fri Adults & Teens class waiting fifteen minutes east on FM 78. The GB1 fundamentals progression assumes no athletic background, but the structure rewards the discipline most military adults already bring. Live training rounds give experienced grapplers a real game to develop. Saturday 10 AM is the weekend option for shift schedules and weekend PT recovery. Professor Edgar handles GB-network transfer records personally if you've trained at another Gracie Barra school. First class free; call (830) 205-3222.

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.
What's the closest BJJ academy to JBSA-Randolph in Universal City?
Gracie Barra Cibolo is 15 minutes from JBSA-Randolph's Main Gate via FM 78 through Schertz. We work with active-duty and military families from Hill Country Village, Northampton, and Woodlake who need a structured program their kids can stick with through PCS moves. The Gracie Barra network spans 1,000+ schools worldwide, so a kid who earns a yellow belt here can keep training at the next base without restarting. Professor Edgar is a 1st-degree black belt and tracks every student's belt and stripe progress on file. Call (830) 205-3222 for a free first class.
Are there kids martial arts classes for Judson High School families in Universal City?
Yes. Gracie Barra Cibolo runs kids BJJ classes 15 minutes from Judson High School and Kitty Hawk Middle School, with age-specific groups from age 3 through 13. Tiny Champions (3-4) meet Tue/Thu, and Little Champions and Juniors run Mon/Wed/Fri afternoons plus Saturday at 9 AM. Families from Olympia Elementary's catchment train here because the Gracie Barra curriculum is structured — belts, stripes, and a real progression — not a karate-style attendance ladder. Drop-off is straightforward at 2251 FM 1103 Suite 106 in Cibolo Valley Square, with free parking shared with H-E-B.
