The teenage years are often when confidence matters most. Our Teen BJJ program in Wildomar provides a constructive outlet that builds real self-defense skills and discipline in a safe, structured environment. We offer both Gi and No-Gi training to help students develop calm under pressure and disciplined fitness habits that last a lifetime. Beyond the physical skills, our program instills anti-bullying confidence and a strong sense of belonging, giving teens a positive community where they can grow alongside like-minded peers.

Coached in Tim’s Daily BJJ Room

Teens training at Carlson Gracie Inland Valley aren’t getting a watered-down program; they are learning Jiu Jitsu in the same technical, safe culture that Tim leads on the mats most days. Tim is renowned for his relaxed but highly detailed coaching style, focusing on building elite skill without the need to beat people up. By creating a positive team environment, he ensures that students develop properly. This approach gives teens the best of both worlds: the legitimacy of real, high-level training combined with the safety of expert coaching.

What Teens Gain From BJJ

We equip teens with the tools they need to navigate the world. It starts with confidence, the kind that changes how they carry themselves, and the practical ability to handle physical conflict safely. But the benefits go deeper: BJJ teaches resilience, focus, and emotional control, helping them manage stress on and off the mats. Physically, they gain an athletic edge that benefits any other sport they play. Ultimately, we provide a positive team environment where they can grow, giving them both a valuable skill and a supportive community.

Safe, Technical Training

Our curriculum covers the essentials of grappling: takedowns, defense, positional control, and the ability to escape from underneath an opponent. Submissions are taught responsibly with a heavy emphasis on safety and respect for training partners. We utilize supervised live rounds to help teens test their skills in real-time, allowing them to develop composure under pressure. This approach ensures that your teen is challenged to improve every single day, without ever being pushed to get hurt.

Gi & No-Gi - Both Offered

To ensure students develop a well-rounded skillset, we offer both Gi and No-Gi training for teens. We believe that exposure to both styles is essential: the Gi teaches structure, patience, and technical precision, while No-Gi emphasizes speed, athleticism, and scrambling. By training in both, teens become adaptable and complete grapplers who are comfortable in any situation, whether they have a uniform to grab onto or not.

Whether it is Gi Jiu Jitsu or No Gi Jiu Jitsu / Submission Wrestling, the owner Tim is a black belt world champion in both disciplines as well as a former D1 wrestler. He also has a Muay Thai and Wrestling program and you will see his material on BJJ Fanatics. Classes are relaxed and technical and he has an ability as a coach to articulate complex ideas into simple concepts that anyone can grasp. Kids classes are fun and games based. Great gym!

My daughter and son are currently enrolled in Carlson Gracie Inland Valley Jiu Jitsu School. They both enjoy going and practicing with their friends. Plenty of seasoned male and female helpers on hand to guide the young students. Bring plenty of cold water to keep you hydrated. These kids seem to enjoy each other's company, and if they need help or don't fully understand the move they are practicing, just say " Professor " I need some help. and that's what they will get. 👍

I've been training at Carlson Gracie Inland Valley for a little over two years now, along with my daughter(12) and twin boys (10). It has been a tremendous benefit to all of us. Jiu-jitsu is so much more than what you see on the mats. It develops character, perseverance, fortitude, and focus. Professor Tim is a great teacher, patient, detailed, and as passionate as anyone could be about the sport. He makes Jiu-jitsu fun to learn and I'm always excited to go to class. All the guys and gals that train there are great people, super nice and fun to be around. It's a great place to be! There are tons of kids that train there too, and my kids have enjoyed every minute of it. I encourage everyone to come in and take a class and see for yourself, I started at 43 years old and you can too, Jiu-jitsu will take care of the rest!

Professor Tim and all the coaches are fantastic with both the kids and adult classes. Superior instruction, always patient and helpful. The community of other students is incredibly supportive and friendly. Could not recommend highly enough. If you're thinking about signing up, do it today, you'll only regret not doing it sooner. I started with ZERO wrestling or fight experience and training BJJ has now become a huge part of my life. Signing up was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my physical / mental health!

Great learning environment!! My son just started training here this year and immediately loved the sport. Professor Tim is very kind, cares about the kids and is very knowledgeable. All the coaches there have been nothing but amazing. The growth you get to witness in these kids even in a short period of time is undeniable. We were in between this school and another when browsing around, did a trial class at each and I’m extremely happy we chose to be here.

Our son has been training here for two years, and the growth in his confidence, strength, and skill has been incredible. Professor Tim and the coaches are amazing—supportive, disciplined, and truly care about their students. Our son loves every class and has grown so much both on and off the mat. Highly recommend!

While the benefits are numerous, Carlson Gracie Inland Valley has helped my sons build strength, endurance and gave them the confidence to overcome challenges that they didn’t think they could do. They both look forward to grappling because they like to see who is stronger than the other. My kids have stayed committed for the past three years and at times I catch them talking amongst each other about the day they will get their black belt. Although that day is far from here; it has been a great experience so far watching them better themselves. Since day one, Professor Tim along with the rest of the coaches there, have provided my sons with the guidance and motivation to continue on with this life-changing journey.

Carlson Gracie Wildomar offers world-championship instruction and a welcoming atmosphere for kids and adults. Professor Tim is an awesome coach and really pays attention to detail when teaching submissions, take downs or whatever the “move of the day” might be. The people I’ve met have quickly become my friends (even though we’re trying to break each others arms). It truly feels like a home away from home. Whether you’re training for fun or competition, this is the place to be!

I couldn't recommend Carlson Gracie enough! My son started working with coach Tim and his amazing staff 2 years ago, the growth and development he's experienced is worth far more than I can I could possibly articulate. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, clean dojo with an excellent staff then look no further than Carlson Gracie Inland Valley.

Tim is an amazing mentor and teacher! I used to roll with him at CG Temecula as a brand-newbie, which is intimidating for anyone, and being a small woman with zero exposure to martial arts, having people like Tim made the experience amazing and makes people of all walks of life feel welcome. He’s a bada$$ jiu jitsu roller and always made me feel comfortable and taught me so much. People in the jiu jitsu world respect the Carlson Gracie name. If you have the opportunity to train here definitely don’t miss out 👊🏽
