Gracie Bullyproof Kids Martial Arts Classes in Houston

Age Range: 5 to 12 |  Experience Requirement: None

Gracie Bullyproof empowers kids aged 5–12 in West Houston with self-defense skills, confidence, and resilience. Through fun, play-based lessons, we teach effective bullying prevention while fostering character development in a safe, supportive environment.

Does your child face any of these challenges?

  • They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
  • They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.
  • They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.

Give your child the gift of unshakable confidence

By teaching your child time-tested BJJ techniques, Gracie Bullyproof builds physical and verbal confidence, empowering them to overcome bullies without resorting to violence.

"Play" Jiu-Jitsu while learning respect, discipline, and focus


We know that kids learn best while having fun. And while the kids can’t get enough of our “Gracie Games,” CTC_City parents love how character development is a central component of our kids martial arts program.

And the best part is, all the kids who demonstrate measurable character development in their daily lives will qualify for our Grace Game Day Party!

Prepare your child
for life


Kids who train martial arts have a higher success rate in school. Why? Discipline, focus, goal setting, and drive. Gracie Bullyproof instills these incredible traits in your child, every time they come to class.


Come see what makes our CTC_City Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes so special.

Gracie Bullyproof builds unshakable confidence so your child can overcome bullies without violence


Every month in the United States, three million children miss school due to fear of bullies. We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe.

Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence.

I could NOT recommend the Women Empowered program more!! I tell basically every woman in my life about it. I was so nervous to try something so far out of my comfort zone, but it's turned into my favorite part of the week. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with open arms and step-by-step instruction. Every class is an absolute blast, and the instructors are always eager to help and celebrate your progress. Plus, you're learning some insanely effective and essential strategies for staying safe as a woman. If you're on the fence about it—try it. You'll love it!

My son has been participating in BJJ at Memorial Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over two years now. The staff are exceptional - kind and fun to the kiddos, but firm and demanding respect. My son's confidence level has risen so much with BJJ. Thank you so much Jackson and Rafael for your love of these kiddos!

I’ve been going to the Women Empowered program at Gracie Jiujitsu Houston for over a year.
I love the method that they use guiding you to work with the power of your mind and strength of your body. So many times we think that using force will be the best way to defeat a stranger. But they actually teach you how to use techniques that will be much more powerful than just fighting.

Love this place!!! So glad I found Gracie Jiujitsu Houston and made it my home! I trained Jiujitsu many years ago at a different gym but the training was so unorganized and caused many injuries to students, including myself. I hesitated to go back to jiujitsu because most schools throw inexperienced people in a room and say "go at it"! This leads to a ton of injuries.

NOT at GJJ Houston!!! I came to a free seminar at this Gracie Certified Training Center in Houston run by Professor Jackson Fortunato. This gym runs a very structured and very safe school that is backed with an amazing curriculum created by Gracie University. They believe everyone can learn jiujitsu and not have to worry about the "only the strong belong" mentality. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. They have classes for every age and everyone in the family! Come out and try a free 10 day trial at an awesome place to train!
