At Pflugerville, kids’ classes are grouped by age: Ages 5–7, Ages 8+.
Kids learn to move, fall safely and control a partner, with no punches or kicks. Classes are supervised and grouped by age, and they build confidence, focus and self-control. Shy, anxious or not-yet-sporty kids do well: the coaches are patient and every class starts from the basics.
The first class
Bring your child about 10 minutes early in a t-shirt and shorts with no zippers, with water, after a trip to the bathroom. Nerves are normal.
Belts
Kids get their belt tied on in front of the class at their third class. Early stripes come with showing up and effort: usually a first stripe around class 10 and a second around class 20, for coming consistently, a good attitude and knowing the class routine. After that, each stripe marks a skill, and it takes 12 stripes to reach the next belt. There are no promotion fees and no belt tests. Parents see every stripe and belt in the app.
Growing up
When a child moves up to the adult classes is the coach's call, based on maturity and size rather than age.

What members say
Our family recently switched to Renzo Gracie and it has been a game-changer for myself and my 10 yr old daughter. … If you want top-tier instruction, ultimate scheduling flexibility, and a genuinely friendly, family-oriented vibe, this is absolutely the place to train!
