KIDS JIU-JITSU (4-7) (8-13)

Combate Academy offers kids and teens Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Cross Roads, TX for ages 4 to 13, split into Little Kids (4–7) and Big Kids (8–13) so every child trains with their own age and skill level. Classes build confidence, discipline, focus, and genuine self-defense in a safe, supportive environment led by experienced instructors. Your child's first week is free.

WHAT DO LITTLE KIDS (AGES 4-7) LEARN?

Our Little Kids program turns boundless energy into focus. Through games and age-appropriate drills, children ages 4 to 7 develop coordination, listening skills, and the foundations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — all while learning to follow direction, take turns, and build confidence on the mats.

WHAT DO BIG KIDS (AGES 8-13) LEARN?

Our Big Kids program is built for ages 8 to 13, the stage where kids are ready for real technique and accountability. They'll learn proper positions, escapes, and submissions, develop discipline and resilience, and gain the kind of quiet confidence that carries into school, sports, and life.

DOES JIU-JITSU HELP KIDS DEAL WITH BULLYING?

Yes. Jiu-Jitsu gives kids the tools to stay calm and protect themselves without throwing a punch, using control rather than aggression. Just as importantly, the confidence they build on the mats makes them far less likely to be targeted in the first place.

WHAT LIFE SKILLS DOES JIU-JITSU TEACH KIDS?

Beyond self-defense, Jiu-Jitsu teaches discipline, respect, focus, and perseverance. Kids learn to set goals, work through frustration, and earn their progress one step at a time — lessons that shape who they become well beyond the academy.
