Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in The Colony, TX
for Kids and Adults
Who Want Real Training.

Children as young as 4 can start in our Children's Program. Younger students focus on coordination, listening, and body awareness through structured drilling and movement games. As students grow, the curriculum opens up into live training and competition for those who pursue it. Kids that age are not learning to fight. They are learning to follow instructions, take turns, and be part of a group.

The free trial is a real introductory class in the program of your choice. You pick a class time, show up, and experience a full session. That includes warm-up, technique instruction, drilling, and a debrief with the instructor at the end. There is no payment required to book, no contract, and no pressure to continue. The point of the trial is to see exactly what training here looks like before you make any decision.

Most classes run 45–60 minutes depending on the program and age group. Kids classes are the right length to keep that age group engaged without losing them. Teen and adult classes run 60 minutes and include warm-up, technique, drilling, and supervised live training.

No gear is needed for the trial class. Comfortable athletic clothing and a water bottle are all you need on the mat. If you decide to continue, we give you a specific list of what to buy and where to get it at fair prices.

Our primary discipline is Carlos Machado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, taught directly by Professor Madeley, a 5th Degree Black Belt under Carlos Machado. The Children's Program blends BJJ, Wrestling, Kickboxing, and Judo. We also run dedicated Wrestling, Adult Conditioning, Total Body Fitness and Nutrition (with Coach Tony), Summer Camp, and After School Care (at thecolonysbestafterschool.com).

Safety is built into the structure of every class. New students drill technique without resistance before any contact is introduced. Instructors stop drills the moment mechanics create injury risk and correct the technique before continuing. Live training is permitted only when a student has the control and awareness to do it responsibly.

Most of our students start with zero experience. That is who our programs are designed for. Instructors meet each student at their current level and progress them at a pace that challenges without overwhelming. No assumed baseline.

Our head instructor is a 5th Degree Black Belt directly under Carlos Machado, one of the most credible BJJ lineages in the world. The Children's Program is led by Professor Thompson, a 1st Degree Black Belt with 39 years on the mat across multiple disciplines, including two IKF world-class titles. Class sizes are kept small enough that every student is known by name and tracked through a clear advancement system.
