Kid-Jitsu | Jiu Jitsu for Children & Teens
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & self-defense classes for children are more than just physical disciplines; they are a vehicle for personal development and empowerment.
As a student of our BJJ youth programs, your kid(s) will develop confidence, focus, and real‑world self‑defense habits — without promoting bullying or aggression — learn how to actively listen & follow instructions, work with partners to solidify the skills that we train as a team, and build resilience:
- Authentic Renzo Gracie lineage and curriculum
- Structured, high‑energy & age‑appropriate classes:
- Beginner-friendly coaching and clear fundamentals
- A supportive culture that values safety, respect, and progress
- Safety‑first coaching: controlled drills, clear rules, and supervised partner work
- Positive culture: respect, humility, and support — kids are coached to help each other improve
- Real confidence: posture, boundary‑setting, and practical self‑defense responses that emphasize getting safe.

“I have been training Jiu Jitsu for the past 2 years @Renzo Gracie Corpus Christ: Team Arredondo. Professor Ruben is very knowledgeable and will guide you through all the stages of understanding and learning the basics of Jiu Jitsu.
The team is fantastic, and I like training with them every week.”
“While vacationing near Corpus Christi, I had the opportunity to visit this Renzo Gracie affiliate. Prof. Ruben, Dan and all the students welcomed me from the moment he opened the front door till the moment the door was being closed up for the night. Instantly felt like part of the family, not just an RGA family member but Renzo Gracie Texas family member.
Great experience, great students and great professor! Thanks Prof. Ruben and all.”
