Both of my kids recently attended a class at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Fredericksburg, and they had an amazing experience! They were able to learn new jiu-jitsu techniques in a fun and supportive environment while also meeting and interacting with other kids. The instructor was patient, encouraging, and really made the class engaging for beginners. My kids left excited to come back, and we’re looking forward to attending again. Highly recommend this school for any child interested in learning martial arts!

Great experience so far. My four year old has a really good time and genuinely looks forward to coming back every week. The classes are fun, keep him engaged, and hold his attention. The instructors have been great, patient, encouraging, and do a great job at keeping the kids focused. Dad is even thinking about taking classes too. Highly recommend for young kids and families.

Our daughter started a few weeks ago and we can already tell that it is a positive, constructive environment based on the interactions between Billy and Sophie and the kids. Uses jiu jitsu as a foundation for real-world application vs. tournament prep, which is different from what we have experienced in the past but will likely prove to be more useful for our daughter. Billy and the junior grapplers class were welcoming of my daughter and she immediately felt right at home. Would definitely recommend for anyone new to Fredericksburg that are looking for a program for their kids.

This has been great for my 5 year old son! Billy has been great with interacting with the kids and being able to communicate well to a child who had never done Jiu-Jitsu before. My son has already learned so much and he LOVES going to his class!

I’ve been training with Billy for the past 3 years, and he’s been an incredible instructor throughout my Jiu-Jitsu journey. Billy has an amazing ability to break techniques down so that beginners feel comfortable right away, while still challenging more advanced students to grow. What really stands out is his patience and attention to detail. He makes sure everyone on the mat feels safe, supported, and confident. Billy is also fantastic with kids! He knows how to keep them engaged, learning, and having fun while building discipline and respect. If you’re looking for a place to train for yourself or your kids, I can’t recommend Billy enough. He truly lives and breathes Jiu-Jitsu, and it shows in how much he cares for his students.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Fredericksburg. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Fredericksburg welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Fredericksburg train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
