Kids Jiu-Jitsu for Terrell Hills Families

Alamo Heights 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 from age 3 through 12 train in age-specific groups — Tiny Champions, Little Champions, and Juniors — where they build discipline, confidence, and respect while having fun and making friends they'll keep for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age can my child start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra Alamo Heights?
Gracie Barra Alamo Heights 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 Zaza 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 Alamo Heights. Professor Zaza 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.
