Fredson Paixao Academy

Fredson Paixao Academy teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu out of 1481 W Warm Springs Rd #145 in Henderson, with classes split across three age brackets: 5 to 7, 8 to 12, and 13 to 18. That three-way split is more granular than most martial arts programs in this directory, which usually run a two-group system, so it is worth asking which specific class times match your child's bracket.

The program covers Kids BJJ, Teen BJJ, general Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, and Self-Defense Classes, held on Training Mats in a facility with Changing Rooms and Restrooms on site. There is no mention of a competition team or belt testing schedule in this record, so ask directly if that matters to you.

The weekly schedule is uneven and worth reading carefully. Monday and Wednesday run three separate blocks, 6:00 to 7:00 AM, 10:00 to 11:00 AM, and 4:30 to 8:00 PM. Tuesday and Thursday list a 6:00 to 7:00 AM block and then a long stretch recorded as 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, an unusually wide window that likely reflects open mat or adult class time layered on top of youth classes rather than one continuous kids' session. Friday narrows to 5:00 to 7:00 PM, and Saturday runs 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. The academy is closed Sunday.

No price range or price detail is listed here, so families should call (619) 602-8495 to ask about tuition, trial classes, or which of the three age brackets fits a specific child best. More information is available at fredsonpaixao.com.

Given the layered morning, midday, and evening blocks on Monday and Wednesday, this looks like a facility that runs multiple class types back to back rather than one youth session per day, so confirming exact kids' class times by phone before showing up is worth the extra step.
