Forney BJJ

Forney BJJ is part of International Karate & Self-Defense, a longstanding martial arts school serving Forney, Texas. The academy is known locally for offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu alongside its established karate and taekwondo programs, focusing on building confidence, fitness, and practical self-defense skills for all ages. The team behind the school believes in using martial arts as a way to help students of every background grow both on and off the mats, with an emphasis on personal development and discipline that goes beyond just learning techniques. The BJJ program is designed for a wide range of students, from children to adults. Kids start by building coordination, listening, and basic movement skills in age-appropriate classes, with a strong focus on bully defense and self-confidence. As students get older, the training progresses to include more advanced grappling, strategy, and competition opportunities. Adult classes offer a mix of technical instruction and conditioning, giving everyone the chance to improve at their own pace, whether they’re interested in fitness, self-defense, or testing themselves in tournaments. Classes are held in a family-friendly environment at the academy’s location on US Highway 80, with wheelchair access and a schedule that supports busy families. Forney BJJ welcomes new students from the local area and beyond, providing a place where kids, teens, and adults can train together, set goals, and find support in their martial arts journey.
