Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Kids and Adults

If you’re looking for an activity that builds confidence, fitness, and real self-defense skills, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the best choices for both kids and adults. At Martial Arts of Waco, we welcome students of all ages from across Central Texas — including Hewitt, Woodway, Robinson, Bellmead, McGregor, China Spring, Lorena, Crawford, and other nearby towns — to train with us and become part of a strong, supportive martial arts community.

Why Families Love Training Jiu-Jitsu Together

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just a sport — it’s a lifestyle built on respect, discipline, and continuous learning. Many families at Martial Arts of Waco train together, finding that BJJ becomes a shared experience that strengthens relationships while improving overall fitness.

Kids learn teamwork, patience, and problem-solving. Adults gain mental focus, stress relief, and the satisfaction of getting in shape while learning how to protect themselves.

When parents and children train under the same roof, something special happens — it becomes more than a class. It becomes a bonding experience.

Kids’ Jiu-Jitsu: Building Confidence and Character

Our kids’ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program focuses on developing focus, coordination, and self-discipline in a fun and structured environment. We teach the importance of respect — for instructors, teammates, and opponents — while helping children build real self-defense skills that work without relying on size or strength.

Kids learn to:

• Handle bullying with confidence and control

• Build teamwork and leadership skills

• Improve balance, coordination, and agility

• Earn belts and stripes through effort and consistency

Every class teaches life lessons that go far beyond the mats.

Adult Jiu-Jitsu: Fitness, Self-Defense, and Mental Toughness

For adults, BJJ is one of the most effective and rewarding workouts available. It strengthens the body and sharpens the mind. Students of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced practitioners — train together in a respectful, ego-free environment.

Adults in our program experience:

• Better strength and conditioning

• Practical self-defense skills for real-world safety

• Stress relief and improved mental health

• A sense of community and achievement with every class

It’s never too late to start. Many of our adult students began their journey in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.
