Student success stories
Great place to learn Jiu Jitsu. Professor Daniel, Professor Michelle, and their kids do a wonderful job with the children. The adult classes are good too. Great training partners and everyone treats each other with great respect. Highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed.
The coaches and the professor have a talent to teach the kids that I’ve never seen before. The environment pushes them to do their best and they have the patience to take time to break everything down in a way that the kids can understand. I’ve seen amazing development in my son who has attended GB Fulshear for almost two years now. He has gained the confidence and skills to compete in tournaments and has made some lifelong friends as well. Thank you GB Fulshear!
Highly recommend them. Very professional and they know their way around kids. My kids always look forward to coming to their class. Professor Michele is very kind and loving with kids. My kids have shown tremendous improvement in pretty short time. We love all the professors and coaches over here.
Professor Daniel and professor Michelle are both very knowledgeable and great teachers. The class structure is great for learning and mastering new techniques and the content links up well from week to week. I love the family atmosphere and how friendly and welcoming everyone is. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone wanting to learn jiu jitsu as a sport or for competition.
A Breakdown of our kids classes
Tiny Champions
For our little champions aged 3 to 4, we've got a super-fun jiu-jitsu class all set up! We've designed it to be interactive, lively, and absolutely enjoyable. In our Tiny Champions class, your little ones will engage in warm-ups, watch awesome technique demonstrations, drill, train, and even play games. At this age, we focus on gently introducing the structure of a class and helping them build social skills with children their own age. Plus, they'll learn to listen to their coach - a skill they'll use forever! 3 or 4 is the perfect age to start dipping toes into the art of jiu-jitsu. Plus, they'll join a friendly group of peers to train and grow with. Can't wait to see your little ones on the mats!
Little Champions
Enrolling your child in our preschool jiu-jitsu class at an early age presents numerous benefits. It helps enhance their awareness, aiding them in confidently navigating their surroundings during and after class. With our program designed for 5 to 6-year-olds, your child can foster solid social skills through interactions with peers. They also start assimilating jiu-jitsu terminology, deepening their comprehension of this martial art. The jiu-jitsu lessons aim to establish a solid base for their budding abilities and nourish a self-assuredness within them that extends far beyond the confines of the classroom.
Little Champions II
Our Brazilian jiu-jitsu program for children aged 7 to 9 offers many benefits.
