BJJ Near Terrell Hills, TX

There is no Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school inside Terrell Hills. The city is entirely residential — stately homes along Geneseo Road and Canterbury Hill, families who value education and discipline, and zero martial arts facilities within the 1.8-square-mile boundary. Gracie Barra Alamo Heights at 1464 Austin Hwy, Suite 100 changes that equation. From the intersection of Harry Wurzbach Road and North New Braunfels Avenue, you are on the mats in three minutes flat.

The academy is led by Professor Edgar, a 1st Degree Black Belt with 15 years of Jiu-Jitsu experience, and Professor Zaza, a 2nd Degree Black Belt with 18 years on the mats. Both trained under Roberto 'Tussa' Alencar, one of the most respected names in the Gracie Barra lineage. That pedigree matters — it means the instruction at GB Alamo Heights is not improvised. It follows the Gracie Barra curriculum, the same structured system taught in over 1,000 schools across six continents, refined over decades.

Terrell Hills families who send their children to Saint Mary's Hall or Alamo Heights Middle School consistently tell us the same thing: the discipline their kids develop on the mats carries into the classroom. Our Tiny Champions program starts at age 3, building coordination and confidence through structured, age-appropriate Jiu-Jitsu. Little Champions (5-9) and Juniors (10-12) follow the Gracie Barra progression system with clear belt-and-stripe milestones. Every class has purpose, every week builds on the last.

For adults, the training environment at GB Alamo Heights is built for professionals and parents who take their development seriously. Professor Zaza and Professor Edgar run a program that covers fundamentals through advanced technique. The schedule runs Monday through Friday from 4:45 PM to 7:30 PM, with Saturday morning sessions from 9 to 11 AM — designed for working adults and families who need structure, not a gym that demands they rearrange their lives.

Gracie Barra Alamo Heights opened in 2026 and just opened its doors. The Gracie Barra curriculum reflects what Terrell Hills families experience when they walk through the door — expert instruction, a welcoming community, and a program that delivers results. Your first class is free. Call (210) 864-7909 or book online to get started.
